26 feet of freedom for Fido

I don’t use a retractable leash for our dog usually—if we’re just going for a walk around the neighborhood, we use a regular leash—but when we go camping or hiking I like to have a longer leash for her so that she can explore a little bit. Unfortunately, our 16-foot leash ends up feeling pretty short (to her) whenever there’s something particularly interesting to smell. And yet I’ve been hesitant to buy a longer leash because they’re kind of pricey.

But! Today Buy.com has this 26-foot retractable leash for just $6.99 shipped. I think I can spare that for the world’s most spoiled dog.

Now all I need to do is hope she doesn’t do that thing where she winds around my legs and cuts off my circulation.
