The Great Big Dog Collar Escapade

The big dog collar is a daily ritual of annoyance, frustration, and terror for the dog owner. The process is relatively simple: remove Fido from his cage, place the big dog collar on him, clip on a leash, and enjoy the tranquil evening strolling through the beautiful serene landscape.

Fido is more likely to be voted prime minister than to make this ritual easy. His owner made his fatal flaw when he kept him caged. Like the mischievous teen shaking his sisters soda can, Fido has no vent for his extra energy. Fido is ready to reach orbit.

I have seen dolphin trainers at the marina teach a dolphin to rapidly swim around the tank, gracefully leap into the air, and deftly pass through a hoop scarcely bigger than themselves. The principle is, of course, the same with the big dog collar, though in practice it is exponentially more difficult.

The owner believes he can rapidly slip the big dog collar around his neck before he can free himself from the cage. However, the owner failed to take the fur factor into account. Though Fido is 100 pounds of dog, only 3 pounds counts as body weight; the rest is hair.

The dog dodges the owners initial grab and begins to run around the house possibly hoping to turn the earths orbit backwards like Superman did and thus avoid the early morning caging. The owner, thinking like the dolphin trainer, will hold the big dog collar at arms length, allowing the pooch to intelligently slip his head into the big dog collar.


This also does not happen. Even if Fido held a large enough IQ to do this, hes running so fast that hes seeing things that happened five minutes ago. The only saving grace in this situation is that eventually Fido will remember the daily caging and realize that he has not used the restroom all day. Soon, he transforms from Buzz Aldrin to Bojangles and begins to dance around the door.

The owner believes this is another opportunity for the big dog collar. At this point, the possibility of slipping the big dog collar on Fido while he dances frantically is like trying to give a back rub to an eel. To complicate matters, Fido has now begun a countdown until he leaves a puddle on the floor.

With time against him, the owner believes that he can place the big dog collar on Fido while they open the door just a crack. However, the 97 pounds of hair comes in handy again while Fido slips through the door, jamming his owners hand into the frame and knocking the big dog collar loose as he takes off through the neighborhood.

The dejected owner grabs the big dog collar in one hand as he slowly strides after the bullet previously called Fido. His frustrated sigh is cut short as a scream of pain radiates from the hand holding the big dog collar. Stupid invisible fence, he mutters.
