We finally managed to shoot some fairly
decent
pictures
to illustrate how the harness is placed on
Tinkerbell.
The first couple attempts got mainly my
fingers
and thumbs.
I
am also at home this Sunday morning banging out this
email.
Most unusual as I rather be out with wife and
Tink.
But if I do not get this email out, lurkdom
will
engulf me till 8-9 May. And as the pics were
taken
already, its a shame to hold them til I am free
to
write.
The
URL Tinkerbell wearing harness is

The
first few pics are on the basic components of the
harness.
You have the bodystrap referred to as BS
with
its two big loops at the end. The loops are
secured
using the double figure of eight. The loops
are
large enough to thread through comfortably.
You
have the neck loop with two extensions.
One
run down the back with a tiny loop A and the
other
run down the breast with another tiny loop B.
The
picture below with the two orange target sticks
inserted
to show the back loop A and breast loop B.

You
have the harness leash permanently looped just
below
breast loop B. This harness leash is the key to
locking
the entire harness in place very swiftly.
This
short leash is to fasten directly to travelling
basket
or shirt (if fid is to be on shoulder and you
wanna
go biking).
The
main leash will be attached to this harness leash
(maybe
mentioned as body leash in other emails).
The
placing of the harness is demonstrated on bottle.
You
noticed two harness, one light green which I
currently
use and another dark green harness hold in
reserve.
The body leash consist of 2 loops of very
strong
special fishing line. I was concerned the very
strong
line on the softer harness material and felt
the
harness may wear through. I then introduced two
tiny
fishing line loops to reinforce that connection
and
to allow easier insertion of a loop from the BS.
This
is essentially the tiny loop B of the neck loop
Two
loops in case Tink chews through one. Look at pic
3
and 4 to show how fortunate was the introducing of
that
reinforcement. The original loop B was frayed to
a
couple of threads.
After
the demo placing of harnesses on the bottle, the
series
show two placing of harness on Tink.
Note
how I can approach Tink with the harness without
her
flying away from me. She cooperate with me all
the
time.
I
believe the photos are clear and self explanatory.
But
if you have any parts that need clarifications,
just
ask.
But
note that you may not be answered for a week.

warmest regards
