Just found this exchange. How amazing is everyone to be so giving. Cora's girth is 19" right now. A free or cheap harness would be great, since she will outgrow it pretty soon.

It can't hurt to ask, I hope there's one out there. Everything here is exchanged without cost (other than postage), so you're on the right track. Good luck!

Thank you thank you thank you Karen. I can already tell it's going to work so much better for moving Cora around. It fits well and it's easy to put on.
And Floyd was willing to wear the bandana even though he's a quadruped. Cora wasn't ready to have the bandana on, she was too busy enjoying the harness.
... ok, I was going to post photos but I will have to come back. My computer is being difficult and Cora is trying to chew everything in sight. Well, not so much in sight, but in mouth. Hmm... that just doesn't have the same ring.

ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12. Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ! No side effects. We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments. He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors! Our love. Our funny little guy!
