That really puts things into perspective. I don't wear collars on mine whiel in the house or yard, but sometimes when we come back from a walk, I just unsnap their leashes and leave the collars on. I ALWAYS make sure they don't have a collar on if we aren't home though. Your situation proves that you can be home and still have a problem. Thank God your ex saw what was going on, even if he did think they were fighting:rolleyes: At least he got your attention and was there to help, I guess ex's aren't always bad.
I am glad to hear that they both are going to be ok. Thanks for the reminder.
