A Great Dog Harness


I have never been a big fan of dog harnesses, but after trying every collar on Alik with no success I decided to try a harness. When Anahita and Gavin were down we talked about walking our males and how much pulling they do since they are so strong. Gavin told me they had been using a harness with much better results than a collar so I decided to give one a try. I had a hot pink harness that had only been used a few times with one of my Shar Peis and decided to give it a try on Alik. To my surprise it made a huge difference and once again our daily walking together became harmonious. Obviously I couldn't continue to use a hot pink harness on Alik so I decided to do some research on harnesses. I did not like the construction of the standard harnesses available in the pets stores and knew there had to be a better option. I started researching padded harnesses on Google and ended up finding the EzyDog® Harness & Car Seatbelt. It got great reviews so I decided to give it a try.

I just received it today and had to give it a test drive. The harness was very well constructed and well made. Nothing cheap about this harness. The chest is padded and was very easy to slip on Alik. It also has a car seat attachment which was nice. Alik and I love this harness and recommend it to everyone who wants a comfortable well constructed harness to use on their dogs. Alik took a medium. Here is the website where I purchased mine. http://www.gollygear.com/ezydog.htm.

This harness totally exceeded my expectations!

Thor is Reserved for Rhonda in Connecticut

I am happy to report that Thor has found his forever home with Rhonda in Connecticut. I think that Thor will be extremely happy in his new home and that Rhonda will care for him and love him the way we all do at FAYME. He will leave sometime in October so I want all of his friends to come see him before he goes!

Anabelle and Summer The Escape Artists

Summer Raine and Anabelle have figured out how to get through the backyard fence into my neighbors yard to enjoy her lush grass. Unfortunately, I don't have any grass so I give them a reason for escape. Summer is good about coming back into the yard, but Anabelle lets me know "If you want me, come and get me!" Thanks goodness that Thor cant squeeze though the fence too. My neighbor keeps telling me Summer wants to come live with her because what other reason would she have to keep coming back. Summer is pretty hard to resist. Who would complain about finding these 2 adorable puppies in their backyard!

Sherri Barber Has A Photoshoot at FAYME

On Sunday September 13 Sherri Barber came over for a photo shoot with my dogs. All the dogs were instantly taken with her and we all had a really great time. She posted a few of the photos she took on her Blog page. Check it out at http://www.sb1photo.com/blog/. Scroll down until you see Zolly's smiling face. Not only did we have a great time together, but she said a lot of very complimentary thing about FAYME. Anyone local in need of a photographer should give her a call.

A Visit From Anahita, Gavin & Roman

This weekend FAYME was lucky enough to have Anahita, Gavin and Roman come to Cincinnati for a visit. There is nothing that makes a breeder happier than knowing that they placed the right dog in the right home. Roman has thrived under Anahita and Gavin's guidance and turned into an absolutely beautiful well adjusted dog. He has one of the most beautiful French bulldog heads I have ever seen and he is the sweetest dog any owner could hope for.

They stopped by Friday night after they arrived in town and Roman was able to visit with the whole FAYME gang. While the dogs caught up so did we. They ended up staying at one of the downtown hotels which was only a few minutes from home. On Saturday they came over bright an early and went with me to a dog show. It was nice for them to see Alik win his class. Afterwards we had lunch and hung out. Claudia came over and took some really great photos of Roman. She also got some great pictures of Anahita with the puppies. I was a great day. Before they left on Sunday they came by and we went for a walk in the park with Roman and Lulu. It was so wonderful for me to see how nice Roman turned out and how wonderful Anahita and Gavin are with him.

FAYME wants to thank Claudia Hershner for her wonderful photos of the puppies and on her great job of updating the website. We are sure glad she is back from Italy, but so happy she was able to spend a month there. I know everyone really wanted to see new pictures of the puppies and how they have turned out. Each Puppy now has their own page and their own gallery. Check them out!! We love each and every one of them.
