I actually got this several days ago but between regular life business and stuff related to this gift I hadn't gotten around to posting it until now.

I have two pets - or rather, one, and one I like to pretend is mine. The one that really is mine is my spoiled 5 year old Siberian Husky, Cy, who believes that everything that arrives in a box is for him. Therefore, he has learned that opening boxes is fun so when this one arrived he was thrilled to come over and assist. I, of course, expected him to reach into the box and pull out food..

But when he stuck his head into the box before I could look in, then took his head out, looked at me, and walked away, I got curious. Had my gifter not gotten something for Cy? I mean, the other critter I listed is a horse, surely my gifter would go with the easier of two options?

But.. one look into the box and a whiff of fresh leather later, I realized that no, my mystery gifter had, in fact, taken the hint when I mentioned Doc's current halter (an oversized blue and green nylon breakaway, with it on the top hole on both sides of the breakaway leather) didn't really look good on his pretty red dun head.

Inside was an adjustable Gatsby leather halter with a clasp. I LOVE leather halters. Nothing is classier than leather. This is a classic Havanna with brass fittings. LOVE.

I do not actually have any pics of it ON Doc, unfortunately.. As much as I do love it, it is actually a size too big - he's a little quarter horse gelding who wears regular horse-sized halters and bridles, and it's an oversized halter that won't quite adjust enough. I'll figure out what to do about that but for now, no pic!
