The above photo is what instigated this post. Norwood asked what I had hanging from my collar, so I thought I'd show you my collection today since it's raining heavily. But first I need to woof a couple of things.
Awwkkk! I hope I get to go out!
Okay, so here starts the explaining. ONE of these would be a nice thing for dad to keep in his office. But. Dad has three... count 'em... three. And guess what he has all packed full in every drawer of each chest?
These. He collects these. Some are junk and some are nice.
These are some of his faves - oops, some are crooked! But he also collects all things "Welsh." Hence one reason for the enormous tag hanging off my collar.
I don't know where dad found this, but it's his family crest. I think it was meant to be a key chain, but he decided to make it into a tag for me. And then he put it on my Celtic collar that has a matching leash.
Our names and phone number are on the back.
I got this tag at the annual party that the rangers put on at McInnis Park.
Here are my collars. I like them and wear them all. Some of my collars are serving as "bandana holders" as you'll see in the next picture.
The top bandana is from Alaska as well as the bottom neck warmy. You can see my x-mas and summer neckware as well as my latest pumpkin bandana for Howloween!
I think it's very ridiculous that I have so many leashes cause I mostly go offleash, but a couple of them serve as training and trial leashes. I didn't put the long tracking leash in there or the flexi.
And here is where I keep my collection - right near the kitchen door.

And right next to my bling are pictures and stories and awards, like my Canine Good Citizen certificate. Up top is that cool picture of Sam that I won! Thanks again, Sam! And some pictures of me and Honey that I got from Honey's mom. I treasure those.
The rain is lulling me back into some Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzs.

Hi SAMMIE! Yea, I'm hangin' here too....on the COUCH! The rain is just pounding, isn't it!?!?!?
You sure have a lot of gear pal! Can't believe you dad's collection of buckles! He's always so stylish. You should do a post.... "Buckle stylin' with Bill!"
Hugs and snaggle-tooth kisses!

(ps. mom piled me in the van just now to do a walk around Home Depot...but guess what!? Her van overheated on the way! Limped back home....grrrrr..)

Hi Sammie,
Thanks for checking out my blog! You got quite a collection of collars there, but I think you might need a pink studded leather one for those days when you're feeling a little rebellious.
C-ya,

Woo, you sure have a lot of cool collars, Samantha! Ammy really likes your Celtic collar - so do I!
Yeah.... a Kong tree. Could you imagine?!? That would be so wonderful!
Luv,
DAve
That's a nice collection, Sammie. You sure are stylin'. Daisy is jealous, for sure.
Tucker and Daisy
We don't have that many collars and leashes - and there are six of us!
Hi Sammie. Thank you for your well wishes! What an amazing collection you have - Sam was very happy to see his picture hanging with your other prizes!
Sam
Hi, Sammie!
You and your Dad have pawesome collections!
Kisses and hugs

Your post prompted Momma to do a mental inventory- Brice and I each have a leather collar, a White Pine soft slip, WP regular collar and a chain collar. Plus Brice has a pinch collar and a Gentle Leader. And we each have two leashes. Momma has a lot more of each in her rescue bag in case they are needed during a transport.
Princess Eva
oops- we forgot Eva's fancy collar that she won from Life With Dogs.
I recognize the CGC certificate - we have one of those, too.
My mom said I'm crazy to have so many leashes and collars and stuff for Marge, but hey, they all have a use!
You have one cool collection of stuff! We are working our way there, but not quite close! Love your family crest on your collar!
Elizabeth & Luna
Hi Sammie!!! Wow, what a collection!!! You must be one lucky golden to have all those treasures!!! Take good care of them and thx for sharing!
lotsa licks,
Miley
Wow, Sammie, you sure have a lot of gear!
Wow, Sammie - that is SOME collection!!! And you even have your own wall space to hang it - hmmm! I think I need to have a word with my human! My collars and things are always all over the place, mixed in with their coats and stuff - no wonder they can never find it! And I only have 2 collars and 1 leash - although I do have a LOT of bandanas too!! :-)
Slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane
whoa Sammie, nice collection
love your dadster's pawsome collection and your collars
chikisses
Hi Samantah,
wow, you have a nice collection.
Fantastic.
Nice woooh

Next time somebody says I have alot of bling-I'm showin' them your collection. Mom really likes that Celtic collar and the tag really sets it off. That's a cool buckle collection. Glad he didn't hang one of them big ones off your neck.
Hope it stops rainin' soon so you can go out to pee!
Chester ;0=)
Soon you will need your own room for all your awards and collectables. We love your collars and those bandanna ones are very nice. Bandannas never stay in the right place on us, so that collar idea would be good, we'll have to ask Mom about that.
Hope your rain stops so you can go out. Our humans are headed to southern CA soon so they want the rain to stop too.

Our mommy is really bad with that kind of stuff too - we have tons of collars for all sorts of different occasions
if you like celtic stuff check out our friends heathers collars and stuff www.mackenziebelts.com it is where we get all our collar they are not only pretty but really sturdy
Woodrow - Sweetie - MJ
WOWZA! Your collection looks like our collection. Momma is gonna be busy today ironing our bandannas cuz some of them got all wrinkled in our drawer☺
Hi Sammie,
We're stuck inside because of the rain too! If you go out a little your coat gets really fluffy! That's quite the collection you have going there but we love your celtic ollar a lot!
Sammie - there is no doubt, your Momma loves you. And we understand why!
Hi Sammie
Thanks so much for answering my question. THat's pretty cool that your dad collects all those things and shares with you. I'm a bit concerned with the collection of leashes and collars for you. Looks a bit like a serial killer's closets... ha
norwood
I see you are all collectors on some level. ;)
What a great collection and mom loves the chest your dad is using for storage!
You sure have pretty collars, Sammie!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Hi Sammie, it looks like both you and your Dad like to collect things.
You both have impressive collections.
A girl can never have too many collars!
We also loved your Dad's storage chest - it was beautiful.
We honestly will put you on our blog roll today Sammie as we keep missing your posts and are very bad blogging buddies.
love
Martha & Bailey xxxx
Hi Miche! I just wanted to clarify - my Mom is a survior, not me. I just wanted to remind everyone how important it is to do those monthly exams. Without that, I don't know if my Mom would still be here.
Hey Sammie, you've got lots of bling there!
Sam & June
We had some rain earlier this week too! Love all your cool collars and taga and stuff! I think mom eneeds to buyme a bigger assortment! Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
THERE IS A GOOD FRIENDS AWARD ON MY SITE THAT AWAITS YOU!
I have only one collar. Hmpf.
Hey Sammie,
We've got 10 leashes and about 14 collars, some of which we've out grown. Jubal and J.E.B. each have CGC awards but the rest of us didn't get them because we moved south. You have an impressive assortment of bling.

Hey Sammie: I have one collar (on) called Doggy Dreams, three leashes (2 walkers and 1 trainer), one harness (Easy walk)and 83 stuffees (60 of whom squeak). I got one new Nylabone bacon flavor today. Thats pretty much my life, Sammie, but I love all these things.
Thanks for reminding me.
Kisses,
Stella
Sammie, you are one accessorized girl! I love all your bling! Esp. your Celtic collar & tag; very chic.
Hope you do well on your trial! Paws crossed!
Your pal,
Sedona
