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.

7 May 2018 - Mary Had a Little Lamb.....Had...

Tips on Buying Lamb "A reference to "spring lamb"may make your mouth water - and well it should." Lamb is typically thought of as a seasonal meat with celebrations of Passover and Easter where lamb is usually eaten. A spring lamb is usually 3-5 months old so that the meat is very tender. Anything at the store that is labeled "LAMB" is a sheep that is a year or younger. These lambs are sometimes only milk fed. So keep these in mind as we keep talking about how to choose meet from a baby sheep. Meat from a lamb is taken from one month to one year. Lamb Chops, Leg of Lamb, and Lamb Shank are the most popular cuts. These cuts are perfect for dry-heat cooking, broiling, or roasting. You can find some delicious recipes here! Go ahead...

30 January 2018 - Scotch Woodcock Two Ways...and more

Scotch Woodcock - Two Recipes "From Mrs. Beeton's nineteenth century homemaking guide: Spread hot buttered toast thinly with anchovy paste. Pour over a sauce made by stirring three beaten egg yolks into 1/4 pint cream, bring to a boiling point, but do not allow to boil or the sauce will curdle." This is a traditional Victorian recipe as you can tell because we get a return from Mrs. Beeton in today's Almanac post. Basically this becomes a creamy scrambled egg on toast with anchovy paste. This is the second recipe for today "Add finely chopped hard cooked eggs to a white sauce that has been seasoned with anchovy sauce and paprika. Pour over toast." If you are wondering what eggs has to do with the title of the recipe just know that most Scottish recipes that contain chicken in it will have the word "Cock" in there too. (Don't blush you prudes) I'm not trying to be silly. (Get your head out of the gutter) ...
