Above: After about 16 years, this dude is broken. The end that has the loop that I made, well, it's out there on my street. I'll get it when I take Oji on a walk here soon. It flew through the air and I couldn't find it Saturday night. Seems it was one rabbit too many for the ol' horse lead.

It's gonna be back to this bad boy.

To get 16 years out of it is pretty good considering you can get them for less than $10.

Our two and their shadows yesterday. I don't think we'll be seeing more shadows anytime soon with this weather.


I think they blew my hair back as close as they wooshed by me.

Found it. In middle of street. Lots of memories with this lead.

Gorgeous! Della looks perfectly happy running toward us!

Actually, I am having trouble finding any horse leads to replace it – at least in person. I see some similar rope online but doesn't quite look like what I had. If it's a horse lead I will need to be able to buy that extra brass clamp so I can put a loop on the end.

 

[Oh Little Oji]

My, but he looks tiny behind our new drive gate. The gate is just over 6' high at the high point of the arch. See the retaining wall we had put in late this summer because we had the grass hill taken out in order to widen the drive a bit.

Our fleet store has tons of them that look like that. Do you have a Fleet Farm? Our fleet store also carries about every type of rope you can imagine (including this kind) and snaps clamps, etc.

This is from some bulk rope I bought to make some inexpensive rope toys for them.

We don't have a Fleet Farm here that I know of. I have seen a TSC in a town in Indiana that is about 1 1/2 hours away. Hmm. There's got to be something around here. I got that lead 16 - 17 years ago at a feed & tack store in Tucson. I figured the small shops of that nature around here would carry horse leads, but so far, nope. I'm sure I'll find what I need.

You know what I mean, I assume, by the extra brass clamp that will allow me to make a loop. It's my understanding that horse leads do not have a hand loop because you don't want that with a horse, as it could pull your arm out of socket or something.

Yes, I know what you mean and yes, it could pull your hand right off. We've made a few with the extra brass clamp ourselves. It seems that lead would be easy to find. We have a Farm and Fleet too and you can buy any length you want. Along with the clamp.

That's one mean 'horse' you have on the end of that lead!! lol And your fencing is gorgeous!! I love it!

You must have a hardware store? Most of those carry a variety of ropes and supplies to make your own.

Yep, that about sums up life right now.

Then there's Otto [emoji4] Happy soul but hates the camera.

Ok,we need better pics of the metal work bird back there.

I can do that, and I still plan on taking some pics of the garage. Will post it all over to that "homeowners questions..." thread.

I'm assuming this is the 'front' of your house? We have city ordinances that won't allow more than a 3' or 4' fence in 'front of the house'. We can go 6' up to and even with the front of the house or garage.

 

[Drogon]

Oh I see now, you have a detached garage set back toward the back of your yard.

In fairness to little Oji, the pic was taken from the uphill side. He is actually right at 28" in height. He's just physically small in every other way. Except his front paws, it seems.

My boys love each other

 

[AresMyDobie]

Lol I got you bro

I think the dogs have the right idea in this kind of weather.

Della managed to cover herself up like this all by herself so that's much better than half of our blankets being pushed off the bed.
