Oh, bonny. That's just heartbreaking.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That's awful, Bonnie. I'm so sorry.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, bonny, that's just horrible for everyone involved.
Our family's beloved Scot, Shadow, was hit by a car and killed while my dad was walking her. It was devasting. The car wasn't moving fast, dad uses a retractable leash, and Shadow was FAST. The hold button slipped, and...well. It was horrible.

Thank you all for your good thoughts.
I went to bed at a decent hour but have woken up in despair. It didn't even happen to _me_ but I'm just wrung out.
The walker is coming to me tomorrow so I can try to help him. That's the benefit of having a therapist in the family. I just hope I can give him something useful. He is a truly sensitive guy, poor dear.
As for now, I've taken tylenol pm without the tylenol and hope it will help me get back to sleep. It's cold and dark...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for the loss of the dog. And I'm very sorry if it conspires to deprive someone of his livelihood, especially as there wasn't anything he did wrong. Harvey just climbed into my arms and is purring his very best. I presume he is sending his best comfort to you.
Harnesses have a reputation as more secure than a collar, except that they are by no means foolproof. At least with cats to make a harness truly secure requires fitting it tighter than many a careful person would wish to do. And I can see how with some dogs, the collar is a boundary limitation that is learned and obeyed, whereas a harness might be more of simple restraint with no moral imperative.

Even Darby has houdinied herself out of a harness.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We use a Gentle Leader (like a Halti) on Kato, and he's stopped and pawed at it to try to get out of it. (IIRC, he did manage to get out of it once, but since we can leave his collar on with the Gentle Leader, I lunged for his collar and kept him from going anywhere. Scared the crap out of me.)
(Unlike the time he decided to stop and paw at the Gentle Leader, which made me trip OVER him and sprawl on the sidewalk. On my birthday, thank you, Kato. I just stayed on the sidewalk for a minute, trying to figure out if I was injured or just, you know, had an owie. So Kato looked at me for a minute and then laid down next to me, like "So this is what we're doing now? Okay!")
