Another very quick sewing project. Made another dog leash to stash in the car. Boring colors, not perfect stitches, but it will work. Expired climbing webbing. Mostly for use the next time I run across a lost dog. (Not so much recently, but you never know... probably have caught a dozen loose dogs here). #sewing #leash

@ai6yr I miss Kirkham's, I still have a leash they custom made from very similar webbing when I had a very energetic 120 lb dog. Never found anything else quite as good.

@Ashmire One of the leashes we had here at home was GLUED TOGETHER. GLUED!! NOT SEWED! (I fixed it by sewing it). It was a "Holiday" themed leash originally purchase at Target. It was fine for our last dog (who never pulled on the leash), but the current dog pulled the thing apart the first time he used it!!

@ai6yr Yikes! Yes, the amount of cheaply made and often unsafe "holiday-inspired" crap made for dogs (who struggle even to see most of it due to the red-green color scheme, as I've noticed with Seba), only to be landfilled a few months later, is deeply frustrating.

@Ashmire Yeah, for sure. This one at least has lasted 20 years lol. So much disposable stuff for both humans and pets :-(
