Changing of the collar

Every year I've gone through the same ritual with collars before hunting season...getting a new one.  From the start I have been getting an orange dayglo collar similar to the following picture.

Don't get me wrong, this is a great collar, and very durable.  The one problem I have with it though is that it's not so orange anymore after a year, it's more of a light pinkish color.  It's cheap enough that it hasn't been a big deal just replacing it every year.  But this year one of my favorite websites for ordering upland gear was having a sale on them, and the collar came with a free engraved nameplate that was riveted to the collar.  One less thing dangling and clanking around on her collar...sold!

I went with a different type of collar this time.  It's called a Leather Feel collar.  It feels like leather, but it's made out of nylon, so it is durable...and most importantly, it is not supposed to fade.  Check back in a year, and I'll give you the skinny on how it's held up.

Here's my proud pooch with her new jewelry on.  You'd think she just got herself a new prom dress with that look!
