Mish: the thought crossed our minds ... until we met Hal!!

She was quite a character, nobody's fool, but one thing she did - according to her arch enemy - was breed dogs with good hips, and Hal was no exception.

Its a funny thing trust, isn't it.
See how easily it can be lost.

No way am I using it on myself---it hurts!

Why would I trust you? Your dog did and look where it got him!

BTW---the place you are staying is 92.8 miles from us! Care to pay our petrol costs? Or maybe come slightly closer?

Rune: do try to keep up!

"Gnasher - as I explained - a static shock would be much greater if it had to build up and pass tru think fur, the electrodes in contact with bare skin make it hurt LESS not more"

My OH says she is talking absolute tosh - see my posting, I really cannot be bothered to repeat myself.

Rune: it does not, don't be such a wuss.

No, I won't pay your petrol costs - you want to zap me with an electric collar, you can pay your own costs!

Going to watch the Mentalist now

"My OH says"...

What do you say? This is your dog you are talking about?

What do you say?

lol, well gnasher if the collar has to be in contact with the dogs skin then it is a FLOW of electricity and NOT static. and in that case then his thick double coat does nothing to make it LESS of a shock.
Did your husband also yet explain why he fed you the load of tosh about fluffy voltage and killing current?

Gnasher. Can you walk on water, pray tell us mere mortals.

Luthien: I say I know fa about electricity, static, flow or otherwise. Thus I make it quite clear when it is his words, not mine, because I am ignorant where such things are concerned.

wouldnt you want to know more before inflicting it on a trusting Dependant then?,not take 'someones word'for it
