Well, mom had to get on this harness kick again. So on the harness went and she called me to come downstairs to the basement. I don’t like to walk while wearing this thing. I know I look like there is a saddle, which is far too heavy for me, straddled to my back. Also I mince on by with tiny steps. Dad laughed when I walked by him. Finally, I made it to the basement. There was a reward waiting for me.
See my race car in the background. Now, seeing as mom gave me a treat each time I walked for the treat. I wouldn’t walk unless I got a treat. It didn’t take mom long to figure this out either. Pretty soon Kali was in the basement with us getting all the attention and treats. Mom was so happy Kali was getting exercise for her hip. Well, mom ran out of treats and Kali and mom went upstairs while I minced along much more slowly.
While they were waiting for moi, Kali posed for a picture in my toque.
As Kali posed I slowly made my way up the stairs where mom removed the harness. I proceeded to do my own posing with Kali and mom.
After we had a rest from our frolicking in the basement Mom decided to have a peek at Elfin John who has been busy fishing in the kitchen sink. Heck he caught 2 spoons and a small fork. He told mom he was ready to go back in the nightie drawer till later in the year. So Kali helped him into the drawer.
Kali tucked him in for a long nap and we all got a little sad.
I brought Kali into the living room where we discovered our friend had sent us some goodies. Kali was overcome by the feathers as I was and soon Elfin John was forgotten.
Trust mom to snap the picture when we looked away from the feathers. Really mom, get with it.
That was our day…..how was yours?
Maybe if you get used to the harness, you’ll get to take your mom out for a walk, S. That’s what I do when I wear my harness….
Love and licks,

one word – harness – snorts with piggy laughter. I’m not laughing at you wearing yours my sweet beautiful friend. My mom is trying to get Houdini harness trained. You would have thought she hog tied him and duct taped him to the wall with as much fuss he causes. See – it could be worse. Snorts! XOXO – Bacon

maybe if you get one more like Summer’s at sparklecat.com you would like it better. Her’s is smaller and doesn’t cover so much of her body. So glad you ladies got lots of treats though 🙂

Mom chose this one for me cause it was easier to use and didn’t dig in anywhere but I definitely will get her to look at Summer’s on Sparklecat. Thanks Marty me man.

No video of you with the harness so we can see your little steps? I think if that’s too heavy for you, you shouldn’t have to wear it. Bite your Mom next time she tries to put it on you.

hehe…I tried that but felt so guilty I couldn’t do it with passion…it was just a feeling of my teeth. I’m ashamed but mom can’t do a video yet….I know, I’m embarrassed! Give her another few years and maybe she’ll figure it out.

Shoko, I hated wearing a harness too until I realized that when I wore it, it meant I got to go outside. And I love going outside. So now I don’t mind wearing it at all. ~Wally

I think the harness is terribly unfair and actually picking on me. Kali doesn’t have to wear a harness. I better get more than a feather for this!

Shoko, I totally understand about the harness –too much like clothes. One time Mom put a shirt on me and left for a half hour. When she got back, I was still sitting in the same spot on the stairs.
