OH and also - this was written by an Orvis Employee years and years ago - it sums up what I think about dogs and the way they work their way into your hearts... .



Dogs in our Lives!



"We aren't house proud. If we were, we wouldn't abide the scratches on the door frame, the holes in the screen, the darkened shine of worn spots on the chair. We would wince at the mottled carpet and fret at the hair clinging to our clothes.



"We don't. If anything, we lovers of dogs, are a tolerant lot, finding greater value in the unabashed affection of our friends than in immaculate sofas. Shoes can be replaced, but heroic retrievers are timeless.



"Without dogs, our houses are cold receptacles for things. Dogs make a fire warmer with their curled presence. They wake us, greet us, protect us, and ultimately carve a place in our hearts and our history. On reflection, our lives are often referenced in parts defined by the all-too-short lives of our dogs. "

Bulldooky! That is a LIE! That guarrantee doesn't include waders. But you need to read the fine print. I don't know how they can legally use the words "anytime" and "any reason".



My wife (she originally bought them for me as a gift) and I (after she gave up) had to repeatedly fight with them over the phone over the leaky waders they wouldn't stand behind. It was the second pair with the exact same problem; they lasted a little over a year and then the seams in the feet leaked like a sieve. Clearly a defect in workmanship. They never did refund my money, but gave me credit for a portion of the value of the waders to spend on more of their merchandise. Liars.

Oh, c'mon Hammersley, you can't post a thread like this without getting some dissenters!!:-laf



Never heard of Orvis until this thread. Seems like a nice store.



I think McMaster-Carr is the greatest mail-order company on Earth. But I prefer tools to clothes (haven't bought a new bit of clothing in over 3 years). :-laf
