Unintentional humor from Blue Cross/Blue Shield

It most definitely ELIMINATES any tendency to pull on the leash, and under most circumstances he will walk at heel perfectly. Oy--I only wish I'd put this collar on him from the get go. I would not be nursing ( Read more... ) -
Well, it's deja vu all over again--again
Here's the good news: Patriot is doing very well, ( and so on )
