  Long overdue Ben photos - pic heavy Reply Contact  What with one thing and another, I have been negligent in posting photos of Ben, so here we go.  First, a few from Ben's first-ever trip to the beach, in September: Next, a hike with some friends and their dog a few weeks ago:         Kate - Dog.community Administrator Jokers to the right. www.lumosmaremma.com - a dog blog about raising a Maremma in a city.

He looks so grown up and lost all his "puppy"!  But, what a beautiful boy he's matured into. They are all lovely pictures but that last one takes the cake.

  Re: Long overdue Ben photos - pic heavy Reply Contact  Thanks so much guys!  I think I will blow up and frame that one.  The best photos I have of Ben are in autumn leaves, it's absolutely the best backdrop for his shiny blackness.  For those of you who liked that one, Ben offers up a snazzy profile shot:  Kate - Dog.community Administrator Jokers to the right. www.lumosmaremma.com - a dog blog about raising a Maremma in a city.

  Re: Long overdue Ben photos - pic heavy Reply Contact The harness is a double-duty car seatbelt and walking harness.  I have no idea who the manufacturer is, but it's sold under the name of one of the roadside assistance companies here (the RAC).  It's well made, well padded and comfortable for him. The collar is a Bamboo Quick Control collar, it has a handle at the back - pull the handle and a 6-inch leash extends out, it allows me to grab him quickly with just that little bit more ease than grabbing an ordinary collar.  Release the handle and the leash slides back into the layers of fabric the collar is constructed from.  That's available from Dog.com.
