Flexi New Classic Retractable Dog Leash

Dad

You didn't look thrilled when I brought this home. First impressions?

Boldo

It smelled like a factory and a new car at the same time. And it clicked. I do not trust things that click at you. The whole thing was suspicious.

Dad

Tell me about the texture. I know you have opinions about texture.

Boldo

The tape part is flat and ribbony. Not good for chewing. Not bad either, just... boring. But the handle is this hard plastic that I can't even dent. What is the point of a leash I can't destroy? Also, did you just open the fridge? I smelled cheese.

Dad

So it's been a few days. Have your feelings changed at all?

Boldo

I will admit this: it lets me go farther. Farther means more smells. The fire hydrant down the street now has a whole new layer of information. That is valuable. But the clicking when it locks still makes me flinch. And no, I will not trade my regular leash for this full-time.

Dad

The cat got one of these too. I'm curious what you make of that.

Boldo

The cat got a pink one. She does not even walk on a leash. She just lets it drag behind her on the deck like a weird tail. It is an insult to the technology. But fine. I do not care. Can I have a treat now? You just opened the treat cabinet.

Dad

Bottom line — poo emojis. How many?

Boldo

Four. It smells like my walk has no limits. That is worth a lot. But I still do not trust the click.
