Hi, ok, just typed a response... lost it somehow.
It ended with me saying rivets are fine, I am excited to be getting a collar from Ella's Lead. In Liz's case the rivets were a split rivet with the backside of the rivet on a finished side, and I had a heck of a time getting them out. I dont doubt rivets are safe.
I like hardcore and bombproof, so my style is different.
Liz, Thanks again for posting all that!
Rebecca, yes on the 2"!
thank you, all,
brad.
