If you have a dog, I PROMISE you will experience this
situation:
You FINALLY get the baby to sleep. You gingerly place him in
the crib. You creep ever so quietly out the door. You silently close the
nursery door. Then the dog, who is right outside the door because she follows you
around like you’re a rock star ever since you brought your bundle of joy home
from the hospital, decides this would be the perfect time to shake and scratch
profusely, causing the tags on her collar to jingle like it’s the frickin’
North Pole at Santa’s workshop. After shushing the dog, you wring your hands
and wait. You listen. Then you hear that dreaded cry on the other side of the
door that says, “Congrats, Mom. You just earned yourself a repeat of the last
60 minutes.”
Some would say that this is not a problem. Some would say to
just take off the collar and bypass the noise altogether. These people do not have a border collie who
on a whim decides to jump the fence to go exploring*. These people also must be
perfect and always remember to put the dog collar back on the dog before
letting the dog out. I am not one of these people, and was getting tired of
picking up my loveable canine at the shelter (thank God she has a chip).
Get a dog tag silencer**, new Mommies. Get one now. You will
thank me.
*We have since
fixed the fence so she can’t get out. Happy endings, yay!
**Our dog tag
silencer is so very appropriately named “Peace Tags”, from a company called
Paws and Tails. Here’s their website: http://www.paws-and-tails.com/peacetags-tagsilencer.aspx (This is so not a paid endorsement).
