Spirit Magic's Mom would like people to know that she has Magic's Red Large Webmaster Harness available for someone in need.
Please reply here if you are interested.
Many thanks to Diane for her generosity.

The topic says "medium," but the post says "large" harness.
Amputation on 11/10/09, due to Histiocytic Sarcoma in left elbow. Angel Harley earned his wings on 06/24/10.
We just checked our records, and Diane indeed ordered a Large harness for Magic. We'll fix the topic title now. Sorry for the confusion.

I wondered how that great big dog got in a harness the same size as Trouble's.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.
The November Five - Spirits Max, Cherry, Tika, Trouble & Nova. 11/2008 - 3/2013 An era ends as Queen Nova crossed the Bridge.
i think there was another harness posted that was medium....
And as an info thing...I'm willing to give away the harness and pay for the shipping (which won't amt to much) but someone else is gonna have to do the work!! I just don't have the patience right now to twist and turn!!
Alexander could use the harness, we've been looking into getting one. I don't mind doing the work 😉
It says the large should fit him, so we would love to have it.

Yes, the support of this community never ceases to amaze us either.
Since Xander is a new front leg amputee, please review what we tell everyone who purchases a Ruff Wear harness :
We recommend not using the harness until the surgery has completely healed and stitches or staples are removed. We have heard of no specific cases where any harness has hampered healing, but we believe direct pressure from the straps may irritate the wound. Please consult your veterinarian with any concerns.
We suggest using a soft towel slung under the belly if additional support is required in the meantime. A reusable canvas shopping bag slit down the sides also makes a handy temporary sling.
And, if you think the harness is too small when you get it ...
The harness has five adjustment points and they ship tightened to their smallest configuration. Please ensure all the straps extending from the three-point front support junction are adjusted properly. They can each be extended for a looser fit. The chest and belly straps can also be lengthened. The harness should be snug, but not constricting.
The three straps that join in front through the junction with the yellow lining and small white Ruff Wear logo all have sliding plastic adjusters. Slide these adjusters toward the junction to extend the straps. Extending the belly and chest straps should be obvious.
