Well and beautifully said, Timberwolf. I completely agree with you.
While I don't wear a traditional leather collar, I do wear a silver chain for Master. It is my most treasured possession, and I wear it 24/7 with great pride. It is a tangible reminder that he is there always, watching over me, as well as being a symbol of my absolute trust and faith in him and the awesome responsibility he has. I wouldn't have it be any other way.
