I couldn't get my shipping tracker to work. Oh well I've started getting a cough and fever yesterday so I don't need to be tempted to use it anyway.

sometimes numbers don't work right away, I've ordered so much of my dog stuff over the internet and have had so many tracking numbers not work right away xD If the company hasn't put it in their system yet (USPS with alpine) then it won't show, you know alpine has dropped it off at least and a tracking number was made so USPS has it, they just haven't gotten around to putting the records into their system. I'd say check it tomorrow or the day after. Mine shipped out Friday night and should arrive today, eep!

Oh man I need to measure Mishka to see if any of the x-backs will fit him. Ugh. I know he won't stay still for me though.

I made Anna lay down, it was the only way I would have been able to do it. Because she is scared of the measuring tape and will bark at it. She is a weirdo.

I had my mom hold her collar and then a spoon of peanut butter where she could just barely reach it to lick it. Then I measured. It took a while, but was manageable!

I'll have to see if I can get the hubby to hold him. He's been at the same size for the last few months and will be a year in January, so I'm assuming he's not going to grow much more.

My pups stand pretty still for me to measure them, but they're kinda used to me measuring a lot for various dog gear. I honestly positioned them and used the commands 'hold' and rewarded them. So that way when I need to measure for something I just say 'hold' and they get into a stacked position and stay for me.

I'm not worried about when it comes in I just hope it comes for before the meet up (ohio) so if it don't work I can get it to someone with a use of it. I think you need to work on my dog if yours can do that. Mine straight up backflops on the ground of I try to measure him.

Link did that tonight when we tried to get pictures of him in the harness flopped down right like a fish and refused to get up lmao!

Kemba does back flops and nose dives where he just noses straight down to the ground. Especially in my front yard after a run my neighbors just laugh at him.

My stuff came inn~~ and of course I work tomorrow so I can't try it out but will def take them on a bike ride Wednesday

That is such a good idea:!:  I wish I had thought of it.

Got my xback in today. Right before work so I didn't get to do much with it. I slipped it over his head because it looked awful small in the neck hole area it fit will test it out tmrw and upload pics to get your thoughts on the fit. Since I've been coughing and running a fever I didn't want to put it all the way and tease my dog like he was goin to be able to run.

I couldn't pass this deal up. I ordered the scooter noodle, a collar and the purple reflective x-back. I'm hoping that Anya won't grow much more but if she does, I can just give the harness to a friend that has an Alaskan Husky that it will probably fit so I can just give it to her. Thank you for posting this Megan!

Ben it sounds fine to me, you want it snug. I was also worried with Link but if its too long and too loose it won't fit properly and it'll hug on their hips and not enable them to pull properly. Definitely posts some side, top, and front pics of it and we can tell you what we think

Erica, no worries! You'll love the scooter noodle by the way! Loving mine and Yuki hasn't grown since 7 months so there's a chance it will fit her for quite a while.

"Haha, you're gonna love this little girl.  It's what I live for."

"But I really wanna just be on the sofa, and why are you ALWAYS smiling?"

I couldn't resist.

Oh gosh, literally LOL'd. He is always smiling.. Yuki's always.. not!~

yup

I got it out of the box looked at the head hole and thought I hope that's a tail hole . I questioned putting it on my fat headed ( I can call him that since he's mine ) dog cause I was afraid of it never coming off. It's crazy how much fur expands the size of the body

Here is pictures of Kemba in the xback. First experience with xback I can see how it creates more power. Let me know what u think about the fit. Still haven't got to try it barely got him out for a run in a regular harness figured he didn't need anymore power til I'm recovered from my cough.

Better pics would help to determine fit. Like keep his head up for the top down shot, right now it looks a bit short but his head down could be why. And for the side shot take a wider angle shot so we can see the whole harness and body.  

If you come sunday, bring the harness with you and I'll ask Abby to take better pictures of him wearing it so everyone can judge from those. It's hard taking pictures by yourself - I know lol!

I think it fits pretty well. Not that I'm an expert but looked like the rest of the ones online that I saw. But I will bring it as long as I can make it and don't forget it. Finally getting over being sick. I saw the high for Sunday was like 30 degrees the other day brrr.

My stuff just came in today!  

I'll post up pictures later on tonight. Hopefully I measure Lycus well enough for the X-back lol.
