Good morning everyone!

This morning walking out of the garage, a female corgie limped up to me. I'm not kidding, she's either really old or hurt-or both. Has wear marks in her fur of a collar, but of course, no collar.

Also, not to change subject as a lost pet is terrible---but it seems my neighborhood ...

Invisible Fences – the Perfect Solution?
By Susan Wise, President of Catnip & Carrots Animal Bunch

The volunteers at C&C have recently been coming across dogs leaving the confines of their electric fences. While these containment systems are becoming quite popular, we thought we should let prospective buyers (and current owners) know the hidden dangers.

Invisible-type fences work by utilizing an electronic collar kept around your pet’s neck which reads impulses ...
