Thanks so much! And for a speedy reply. And thank you for the link for the dogleash clips (had a senior moment with the name!) Thingy doesn't cut it.They all look fine. There are sellers on ebay and elsewhere that sell the dogleash clips. You have to make sure you get ones that are big enough to fit on the purse rings. There are links on tpf. I'll see if I can find them for you.
ETA: Here is the link for the ones I got. http://forum.purseblog.com/coach/dog-leash-clips-for-coach-fobs-794023-2.html#post23610859
I bought both the brass and nickel in the 1/2 inch size.
