Today I finally got out to buy a choke collar like one his cousin Peaches uses for walking. When we were up visiting over Labor Day weekend, Molly and I took the dogs and Kieran for a walk and Gizmo was terrible compared to Peache
s. Molly recommended we try what they use, so today I stopped at Petco and picked one up. And I just got back from taking Giz for a walk, it was amazing. For the first time I didn't get home and feel like my hand was going to fall off from having the leash wrapped so tight around my hand because Gizmo was pulling so much. In the beginning he did a little scratching after I would have to pull on the collar, but he didn't pull at all. And also like Peaches, when you stop walking he is starting to sit also. It was well worth the money, not that it was a real expensi
ve purchase, but almost 20$. And it seemed to work, which is all that matters. Gizmo was more than happy to have it taken off though when we got home. The better he does with walking the more I will be willing to take him. So we are on the right path. Although his diet has been working. When he went to the vet in June for his yearly checkup he was 45 pounds and I was told that was overweight. When we went last week for his 'allergies' he was 41 pounds. So we are on the right track.

Keep watching for Gizmo's annual halloween costume pictures. I bought the costume but thought I would wait until a little bit closer to Halloween to post the pictures. This is a good one!! I know he is spoiled, but he is my little boy... That is all for now.
