Thanks, I, obviously, happen to think so :-)

Thanks.  I'm hoping to have pictures of me taken in garb pretty soon.  Long
hair it is.  Actually, every once ina  while, at Fighter Practice, there's
a flurry of female activity around me, and they battle to see who'll be
braiding the hair :-)  Lots of fun :-)  I once made a joke that I was going
to cut the hair, and three ladies imediately said they would not take to me
*ever* after...  Ha!

>What's a pinch collar?

It's a kind of collar that tightens when pulled on, and has prongs going
towards the inside.  They aren't sharp, by any stretch of the
imagination.  Used a lot apparently.  They aren't necessarily bad.  Just
like any other collar, it really depends on the handler, but I still prefer
to do without them :-)

Of course, given that she *is* a service dog, "street certifiable" (if such
a certificate existed), means that there really isn't a need for it
:-)  I'd not want to have a dog with me wherever I go that needs the
potential extra restraint from the pinch collar.
