It's bloody dark in the country without street lights so in anticipation of the change in time and the earlier arrival of night, we picked collar lights up for the two dogs. Not as necessary for Stella because she doesn't go very far from the house at night, providing we can actually get her off the couch and outside in the dark and cold.
"I'll hold it till the sun comes up," she tells us.
But Abby, ah, dear, dark, bouncy Abby. She needs a beacon to light her way to and from home.
You'd be amazed at how much light these little suckers put out. You don't want to see them coming at you in the dark if you're drunk. The lights AND these two dogs, actually!
That's cool. Are they really lights made just for dog's collars? Where'd you get them? Not that I need one but I want one. Our dog will hold his pee till morning too because he's just too lazy to go outdoors on a cold night.
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading a book, Birds In Fall, by Brad Kessler. It made me want to visit Nova Scotia. Do you love it there?
They are indeed lights for dog collars. I just bought them at one of our chain pet stores, Global Pet Foods. They're LED and they clip onto the collar. I think I prefer an entire collar that has LED lights on it but I haven't got around to ordering one yet.
ReplyDeleteAbout visiting Nova Scotia: why not?! I have to admit, our roads are rough but the scenery is gorgeous so you might not notice. We're not called "New Scotland" for nothing and this is province full of artists of all kinds, great artists. Plus a growing small-farm industry that rocks the farmers' markets. And have you ever eaten a lobster roll? Now I'm sounding like a TV commercial!
Do I love it here? Well, it's my spiritual home. Born and raised in Ontario but found true contentment here. I know for sure because I went west first. Ooops.
