Tuesday

[silverthorne]

Finally got myself financially straightened out enough to take Foot in to get chipped (Ula came 'equipped' with one already). So, after Tuesday, Foot, between tags, collar and now chip, will be as ID-entifiable as I can possibly make her short of tattoing her personal information on her rump. :)

I will feel SO much better once I get this done.

So, I have a question for everyone. If you had a pet, and you got them chipped, would you still make them wear a collar and tags or not? I'd like to know reasoning too, if you don't mind.

Also, (like I need to say that with you guys, heh), keep it polite with each other if there's a disagreement. *HUGS*

Really? Cool.

Well, cool and not cool at the same time. Chipping can get pretty expensive depending on who you go to to get it done and tehyn activated.

Still, I think it's a good and worthy thing to push, much like the madatory rabies shots and the like. Safety for all, and all that. I just cringe for the owners who might have a hard time coming up for that last expense on top of check ups, shots, spay/nueter, etc when getting a new pet.

Well, a lot of the cities that require that have special programs for those who have trouble with expenses, and extra for the elderly.
