[Dailydrool] Bambi--multiple chips etc

[Beverly Szaton]

Zelda's chip slid clear down around her sternum, a place where no scanner
would ever have picked it up. I called the place and they said go ahead and
re-chip. I would suggest doing that and using a different brand. If the
first was Avid, use Home Again, and re-register. Chipping remains your best
bet of getting a dog back. Then, mine wear embroided collars AND tags from
BOOMERANG TAGS. They make tags that slide onto a leather or nylon collar,
and they make dangling tags.
Cooper's Boomerang tag dangles (his collar is leather and has his phone
number and name on a brass plate riveted on the collar) and on one side it
says COOPER  and our phone number and, as an alternate, the Vet's phone and
on the other side it reads IF I AM ALONE I AM LOST: LARGE REWARD
He also wears his AVID chip tag.
I used to tattoo as well, but no one is looking for tattoos and you don't
want to try to roll a big, male, frightened Belgian Sheepdog onto his back
to check for a tattoo anyway.
(Doing tattoos in the ear can damage the cartilege if the dog is too young.)
 (Mine wear the embroidered collars when traveling. At home they have no
collars on at all, except for Cooper. This is very dangerous and I do not
recommend it.)

Momperson, who dreams that I am visiting someplace with several of the dogs
and let them out and they run off. Usually it is Cooper. I spend days
looking for him catching glimpses of him and then it turns out to be another
Belgian, and/or I am visiting and have several dog with me and suddenly
realise i am missing one or two, have no idea when I lost them or where.
Sometimes I get them back and sometimes I don't.
Sometimes I dream that there is a war or an earthquake or tornado and I have
to get the dogs into saftey and I cannot find all of them at the same time.
I used to have this dream about my children, but now that they are grown and
gone, I have substituted the dogs. LOL.
