I felt so rough this morning I actually yelled uncle and added a half a cup of regular coffee to my usual decaf. I think it was a more of a mental salve than a physical one,

Calling for rain here for the next few days. Possibility of 2-3 inches total. Wood collecting will have to pause for wood splitting.

For now I'm taking the afternoon off.

Started sewing but had to cry uncle last sleeve kept messing up. Decided the machine had won and called me to stop.

I hate it when it does that.

I was working on a new Martingale collar for one of our cattle dogs who likes to back out of her prong collar. Machine kept tangling the bobbin thread for some reason. Maybe didn't like the thick webbing I was using. Finally decided that secure was better than pretty and called it quits.

My dog does that too! I have a way to outfox her on it though. Her harness has a "handle" and I run the leash under that before clipping it to the prong collar. She can't get the collar off.

Is there any way to keep the prong collar from flipping? I don't know how she does it, but she twists and the collar rolls over, making the prongs stick out. Totally useless.

Ours have never flipped the collar. We have them set pretty snug so it was a surprise when Rocki and Varn, both thick necked dogs, managed to back out of them.

Maybe take a link out of them or are they snug already?
