They carry a generic version at Walmart and I saw it at Petsmart too. But I believe it was $10 more at Petsmart. Walmart had it for (I wanna say) $19. And it works great. My friend has a furminator which I borrowed prior to getting the generic one and it works the same.</DIV>

<DIV>And an update on our Sammy. We had wrote not that long ago about his aggression issues. We went and visited the animal sancituary, and it's a no go for Sammy. We jsut didn't feel it was a good fit for him or us! So we are going to take it one day at a time with him. And he has actually been pretty good lately since we haven't been taking him to daycare. I wonder if the constantly taking him there confused him and made him worry we weren't ever coming back to get him. Last night I was putting his harness on and when I got it on, I checked to make sure it wasn't caught on his dew claws or anything, and felt it was twisted. So I went to untwist it and must have pinched him slightly...and he made a "ow" sound and flinched a bit, but didn't make a move to bite! So that was great...baby steps I guess! We celebrated his birthday and last week was his Gotcha day...I still can't believe we've made
it one whole year with Sam! Cross your fingers/paws for us, today is vet day for Sammy and that is a traumatic experience for all. I think we are going to try having him get his shots and what not without us in the room. And I will be asking the vet about all the possible aggression triggers that several droolers suggested!</DIV>
