Micro-chipping Your Pet

I'm a huge advocate for micro-chipping your pet. My 4 older dogs are micro-chipped already and Rhodie will get micro-chipped at his next vet visit. There's more to it than a "set it and forget it" mentality. 


1. You MUST register your pet's microchip number but you do not have to maintain membership. Once registered - your pet will remain registered.


2. You MUST update pictures, information about your pet, your address, etc.

3. You WILL have access to your pet's account regardless of membership.

I strongly recommend micro-chipping your pet. In my opinion, if you love your pet & really don't want to lose him/her - do everything in your power to proactively prevent it. But.........if you do not register your microchip number to input your information and your pet's, the microchip is nothing but a set of numbers that go nowhere. 

4. So....REGISTER IT!!!!!!!!

* My Klaus & Vivi are with "Homeagain" - I personally like their website & structure. I'm no longer a "member" as I haven't renewed their subscription. You get your first year free (or included) when you microchip a pet for the first time.

* Egon & Sookie are micro-chipped with "Found"

From my research, all microchip companies are like this. Be smart. Research. Be proactive.

Labor Day was Play Day!

Trinity took Egon and Vivi out in the front yard to play. Vivi had a blast! I got some great action shots of her running, jumping, and then of her just being adorable. Trinity getting ready to throw the ball Vivi running after the tennis ball Chilling for a bit after a successful search & rescue of the ball What a jump Vivi! Egon is quite heavier than V. Egon is a rescue from NC. Just a second later from the shot above All in all, the dogs had a very playful day today. They appreciated the nice weather since we had a lot of rain from Hurricane Harvey which devastated Texas.  Until next time folks....snuggle a Boston :D

Vivi Had a Paw-dicure!

I painted Vivi's nails today! I frequently paint her nails (just her front 2 paws primarily). I admit I woke her up from a nap so she's still sleepy. Her & the canine crew were next to my back door when I took the pictures. They were hoping I'd let them out but it had just rained so....nope, they're going to have to wait a bit. * as always, click on pictures to enlarge Vivi in mid-stretch - pretty nails Vivi with Sookie & Egon behind her. I painted Sookie's today too Sleepy Vivi glaring out the window The color - a darker turquoise. Do you guys paint your dog's nails? What do you use? I also put a good top coat on after the color to help maintain the polish, since the dogs run, dig, etc. A good top coat makes the polish last a lot longer. Up-close of V's paw - ignore my terrible pedicure - I just had surgery & have been unable to go to the salon
