Tattoo Your Dog for Certain Identification

"Tattooing your dog provides permanent, unalterable identification. This is extremely useful if your dog has merely strayed. Humane societies and dog wardens look for tattoo identification."

Tattoo-a-Pet was founded in 1972.

They are still around stating that a tattoo is better than a microchip on your pet.

So here is the scoop.

From my Google research, in some states, laboratories are not permitted to use animals that have been tattooed for identification. Essentially, let's say your pet is lost and has no identification. There is nothing stopping that pet from getting picked up for use in lab testing.

Mirco-chips....well I don't know. Thank might be something you need to look at.

I do know that my microchip for my dog has to be renewed. So not paying and renewing that registration might not protect my pet or get them back to me if they get lost and picked up.

If you choose to tattoo your pet, you do have to register that pet and tattoo with a service such as Tattoo-a-Pet.


Now I have no clue where you can get a tattoo for a pet done.

This is beyond my level of care.

I can tell you that these tattoos are not some fancy design but a combination of letters and numbers. You then register that combination with a service so that your tattooed pet can come back to you.

Listen people.

I get it. You have a pet and suddenly you're expected to take care of it. You gotta feed it, shelter it, and exercise it. I get it.

I love my dogs as much as a cat person can love a dog.

I am not tattooing my dogs. Nor am I getting them crazy I.D. tags. They have been in this family long enough to know where the food and warm beds are. They are not going anywhere.

If your pet tends to run off, get an electric fence.

Can we stop injecting things in our pets?

Also, can we stop testing products on animals in labs?!
I thought we were over this hurdle but evidently there are still some evil people in this world.

Stop animal testing.

Stop putting things on and in your pets.

Just let them hang out and be dumb and lazy.

19 March 2018 - Why Woodn't You

Try Putting Up Wallboard? Why Not? "In the spring one tends to think about the sprucing up the home." In the 70's wood paneling was all the rage. Wallboard or as it commonly called today - Decorative Paneling. There are some seriously cute panelings out there today. Typically, when you think of wall paneling, you think of wooden paneling. I have some in my living room and it is very dated. It's so dark that is great for movie nights but mostly it just feels like a room that is sucking the light from your house. I found an article from Houzz that has some modern looks for us in the year 2018. So if you decide to go the way of decorative paneling, please steer clear of the basic stuff, and go for a nice chic modern look!

5 February 2018 - The Christmas Star

Store Poinsettia Soon Did you get one of these flowers for Christmas? If so and you haven't thrown it away or killed it, it is soon time to do something else with it. This Almanac entry is about taking care of that red plant. I don't garden. Let me clarify I can garden. I choose not to. Once upon a time I had a vegetable garden and it was amazing. The best tomatoes, organic produce, crazy long green beans, and some fresh basil. Now when a weed came and destroyed everything and all my hard work was gone I just put my gloves and shovel down exclaiming "I QUIT!" .... If you care to keep your plant around for next Christmas you can follow these instructions here. .... URBAN LEGENDS Now there is a myth that the plant is toxic. There is an urban legend that states a child died from eating the leaves of the plant.  In truth the poinsettia isn't toxic enough to kill a person. Eating it can cause an ...

20 May 2018 - A History of Child Safety Seats

Keeping Child Safe While Traveling by Car "You know that the use of seat belts is specified at certain times when you travel by plane, and constantly in a car. But have you heard that ordinary seat belts in a car are often bad for children?" It's 2018. Let me just preface this blog post with this: We have come a long way in child safety seating. In the 1930's, child booster seats were being made but not for safety reasons. They were made so that the adult could see the child easier while driving. It looked a little horrifyingly like this. And also if you ever needed to fly with your baby, they made some great ways for you to store your baby with your overhead luggage. It wasn't until 1962 that child seats were being made with the purpose of protecting children in a car. Models like those were not mandatory though. So you could still find boosters similar to those in the 30's for you kiddos to sit in. Seat belts ...
