BuddTX,
While the "walk the dog" part in the above may not seem important, my dog Hershy weighs in at over 100lbs. After she's been couped up all day in the house, it really is a very important step, if you know what I mean...........<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Actually, I thought the "walk the dog" part to be a very important part!
I have a Jack Russell Terrier, and if I don't walk her for at least an hour "off the leash", she becomes a Jack Russell TERROR!
I think it is important for a dog owner to be serious about taking care of your dog. Otherwise, why have a dog?
I use your light daily to walk her, and the LI works our wonderfully! I just discovered miles of dirt trails about a quarter mile from my house. The LI in one hand and the Brinkmann LX in the other, a great combination.
Actually, I want to get a Nite-ize belt clip and mount two LI's (one on each side) and use that as normal illumination, and use the LX when I need to see what mischief my dog is getting into ahead of me on the trail.
I know a person who has a Jack Russell Terrier, and NEVER walkes the dog. Just has a small back yard to let the dog out.
Small backyards are wonderful for some dogs, (I had two Miniature Schnausers growing up), and the yard was plenty big, but not so for a JRT.
Matter of fact, I found these trails, because a neighbor was taking his two Lab's walking there, and he was telling me that the back yard doesn't cut it for his dogs either, they are big dogs and they need to run and get their exercise.
Of course, my dog ran circles around them!
