My Collar Collection

My mom is NUTS about buying me dog collars. She likes me to have a wide variety. I haven't ever counted them but we have a drawer in our laundry room that is FULL of collars for me.

I'm going to model some of them for you so you can see exactly what I mean.

These first two I call my cloth collars. Mom found them both on ebay. The sunflower one is for late summer and into the autumn and the purple one I normally wear closer to Easter. They both have color coordinated name tags. I told you she was nuts!The next collection is my Christmas collection - one is blue snowflakes and the other one is jingle bells. Sometimes mom will put two collars on me because the jingle bell collar doesn't have a name tag on it and it's not very sturdy for an Airedale! I like wearing the jingle bells on my daily walk. Mom says I sound like a reindeer.

These next two are my Nantucket collars. Most every summer we go to Nantucket, Massachusettes for a whole week. It's a blast! I get to go on the ferry and mingle with the other excited people and pets headed over to the Island for their summer vacation. Everyone is in such a great mood. MEEE TOO! So to "style on the Isle" a girl has to have the right outfit to wear, right? I'm sure on the next trip over, mom will consider a third Nantucket collar. You just never know what she's thinking!

These next two collars are my leather heart collars. Mom got the brown one first and loved it so much that she decided to get one in red for Valentine's day. Nuts right!

This next collar is my Airedale collar. It's breed specific! Isn't it so cool! Only - mom is scared of the plastic quick-release closure. She's afraid I'll pull too hard and snap it and run away. Why would I want to run away? I love my mom and dad very much and they're very good to me but mom is still and always will be the over-protective type. My cloth collars all have metal quick-releases and she feels much better about the metal VS the plastic. So I don't wear this collar as often. That's why it's so bright and RED!!! Mom keep asking sellers about this collar coming with a buckle instead but so far everyone says no!

And last, but not least, this is my Master's Pride collar. It's the most expensive one to date that mom has bought and it is a beauty. It has a gold plate on it with my name instead of a hanging info tag. Mom also still has my puppy collars - two of them. The doggie at the very end of my nose is wearing a red navajo collar. This is my very first puppy collar and Happy, the Steiff doggy wears it proudly. I think it's pretty special that mom kept it all this time. Do you still have your first puppy collar? My purple collar is worn by Kipper. This collar came next when I out- grew the red navajo. I also have gentle leaders and harnesses and a prong collar and both leather choker collars and the chain-type chokers. I have quite the assortment and believe it or not mom STILL shops for collars! Word has it that my next one will be tooled leather! Oh goody - I can't wait!

So now that I've modeled ALL of these collars, what about a cookie or two mom, huh?! I deserve one, don't ya think?!

Hugs,
