I have two precious dogs that I walk daily.  One is 7 and one is 13 years old.  The 7-year old, Jazz, is a shih tzu with a very laid back, easy-going personality.  The older dog, Whitney, is a maltese and is the alpha dog.  She barks frequently and seems to run things while Jazz just submits and goes along with everything.  I have a “Y” leash with a splitter on it – so I hold 1 leash in my hand and the splitter provides two smaller leashes – one for each dog.  Each day when we finish our walks, I lean down to disconnect their leashes.  An interesting thing…
