See for yourself! http://bebopusa.com/blog/general/be-bop-harnesses-for-squirrels-see-for-yourself/ http://bebopusa.com/blog/general/be-bop-harnesses-for-squirrels-see-for-yourself/#comments Wed, 07 Apr 2010 05:11:24 +0000 bebopusa http://bebopusa.com/blog/?p=53 It was really snowy and cold when I received a call from a woman desperate to have a harness made for her pet squirrel.  It seems she rescued him as a baby when the tree he was born in fell down killing his mother and siblings.  They bottle fed this cutie and he has become quit tame and extremely entertaining!

My first question was, “If you let him go, can you catch him??” We were in my shop and there were plenty of places for an agile little fella to run and hide.  She said, “Sure!”  Well, I was still a skeptic and little apprehensive to take on a project that was sure to an illusion act of unprecedented shenanigans.

I modified an extra small traditional harness, in purple! His favorite color.  The first nano second he had it on he flipped, turned flip, flip, squirm and BAM! He was out of it and on the shelf with all my boots!  ( I also make custom purses from old cowboy boots in the shop where the Be Bop products are manufactured).  We had fun, laughed, squealed and tried again.  We finally found a system that worked.  Now He can safely go outside and play…. with the cat!

Purple looks good on him!

Will ya look at all these boots??

I have interviewed many people, veterinarians, technicians and dog trainers to develop the Secure Fit Dog Harness System to fit anatomically correct, be comfortable and safe.  Here is one of the testimonies from a veterinarian:

“As a veterinarian, I recently saw a dog with trauma injuries sustained from a car accident.  Many owners think their dog is safe in a plastic crate because they are restrained.  The impact of the dog inside the crate was so great as to shatter the crate, throwing the dog around the car like a ping pong ball.  The owner also sustained injuries from the shattered crate pieces exploding inside her car.  Sadly, the dog could not be saved.  Please let others know this could happen to them.”

It’s so important to think about traveling with your dog before you and your dog become a statistic.  Please let me know your comments and experiences.

It all started when I saw my first furry animal at 2 years of age.  It was a connection that is hard to put into words.  They love you, forgive you and are always ready for more…. More hugging, petting, licking and always more food!! Yumm! We had so much in common.  The bond with animals has never been broken. After experiencing over 30 species of animals it was only natural for me to work with my collective group of co-workers, friends, trainers and animal lovers to develop products that would make life kinder, gentler and easier to communicate with our furry friends.  In 1988 I started showing miniature horses and making harnesses and other tack.  This lead to my connection with the Oregon humane Society working with Carol Scheively in the Humane Education department!  What delight filled my heart to involve children with the joy of animals.  We teach children to be responsible pet guardians, while having a load of fun!  Our miniature stallion, Legacy, teaches the children why he doesn’t like pepperoni pizza and why a dog should not chase a cat.  We share how to trim Legacy’s feet and Bobbi, (our dog, you read lots about her!) toes and why we should all brush our teeth.  We always close with all the children joining Legacy in a rowdy rendition of the Hokey Pokey!

Researching with the Oregon Humane Society and the veterinarians I worked with, I started creating specialized training tools for dogs.  My goal was that the product had to be safe, comfortable, easy and effective in communicating to the canine venue.

I hope you’ll visit often as I share our best kept secrets to training our beloved best friends, sharing stories of these wonderfully crazy companions and perhaps learn some new tricks.

There ya have it! Woof! Let’s have fun!
