Saturday PSA - Getting Micro-chipped

I know...Mama and I have been on a chip rampage this week....but with the blog hop going on today we thought it would be a good day to tell you about our trip to the vet to get Micro-chipped.

First...a word from the Mama, who has borrowed a soapbox. Feel free to scroll down until you see I am back.  Mama can be a bit ummmm"wordy"!

Thanks Dory, I think...

I never really thought about getting Bilbo and Dory chipped. When they were puppies it was just becoming routine...and sheesh, I had tags on both of them with their name, our name, address and phone number...Why should I spend the money to get them chipped too. In the past year, as I read your blogs, I realized why I should get them chipped and promised to do it "soon"or "at the next vet visit". In other words I procrastinated.

Then I found a beautiful, friendly puppy on Tuesday, and just knew that someone was missing him somewhere. I could have had him back home by noon if his owners would have had him chipped. Thank goodness that I saw the sign that Frankie's family put up  Wednesday, or they may have never gotten him back. Frankie's father said he had tags on when he left the house...I don't know if that is true, but he did not have them on when I found him on  major neighborhood street and scooped him up.

Needless to say this FREAKED ME OUT!! What would happen if Dory took off after a squirrel and lost her collar in some way or another?? What would happen if Bilbo wandered out through a missing slot in the fence and lost his collar in the process?? Those are too many if's right there. Needless to say we were off to the vet on Wednesday afternoon for a Chipping adventure.

The worst part of the whole ordeal??? Dealing with 2 dogs who did NOT want to be at the vet....$120 later I had both dogs chipped.  It was sooooo worth the money to have the peace of mind knowing that if for some reason they did get lost, the chance of them finding their Mama and Daddy fast would be greatly  improved.

Now here is Dory to tell you about the experience!!

Finally Thanks Mama!! As you might imagine..Mama made a video, but did not include the actual shot where they put the chip in. She really wanted to, but ummmmmm Bilbo and I were busy heading for he door while Mama was filling out the papers work.  I did just fine and didn't even noticed when they put my chip in. Bilbo YELPED REAL LOUD when he had his shot...cause he is a drama king!!! Anyways...here is our video, Mama says excuse the shakiness...but filming while trying to stop 2 crazy 

desperate puppies being tortured!

 Don't forget that it is Saturday Pet Blogger Hop Saturday and your name if you want to play!

pups or kittehs that are sensitive to thunder should 

turn the volume down for the last minute of the slide show.

There are rumors of a trip tomorrow to visit a place where puppies who need furrever homes play on the weekends...We had a nice lady come "home visit" us yesterday....I am not sure if I should be concerned or not.....

GABE Pressies from the Bleu /I Got Pressies Part Deux

We had a nice quiet walk this morning....so no breaking news today..FINALLY, I can do Pressies Part Deux! 

You might remember that big GABE event that Twinkie hosted a couple of weeks ago...well GUESS WHAT??? I won the giveaway over at the Bleu's . You might know the Bleu's brother the Luke...Please go and visit them (they each have their own bloggie). They are two very special Goldies that live each and every day to the fullest!!

Look at these WAY cool pressies I got!!!!

 I got a tag that PROVES that I am an angel!!! I told you Mama!!

These are the NOMMIEST treats...Mama says they smell so good that she might try one!!

Mama...I was NAPPING!!! This is the most comfy bed ever!!! The the nice ladies at GRRH made this blankie and nice Bleu gave it to ME. Now take that flashy beast away so I can go back to sleep!!

Here is the card that the Luke and the Bleu sent with the pressies!

Isn't that just TOO cute!! Those are a couple of cute and funny Goldies!!!

You know there is a movie right?? Mama can't seem to stop making the movies.....



Have a great day...OH...and me and Bilbo are now CHIPPED!!!!! We will never lose our Mama and Daddy now!!

Breaking News - FOUND DADDY

So...just like yesterday, Mama and me went for our morning walkies. This time I let Mama bring Found Puppy. We were going to walk the same way we did yesterday and see if we could find anyone who might know Found Puppy. When we got to almost the same exact spot we found him yesterday we saw a SIGN!! It described Found Puppy exactly so Mama called the number and then guess what??? Found Puppy found his LOST DADDY!!! He came right away to get Frankie (Found Puppy's real name) and it was such a happy reunion!! Frankie has 2 hooman sisters that were so very sad that he was gone last night. We don't know why their Daddy didn't even LOOK on the pooter cause Mama had Found Puppy's Picture on all of the animal shelter sites PLUS Craig's List.

When Frankie's Dad came to get him Mama recommended, very nicely, that if he would have been chipped or had a collar and tags that she could have gotten Frankie back to the family much sooner. She doesn't think he was going to do it cause he kept talking about how Frankie and his brother got out all the time but always came home....Mama is very happy that she reunited the happy family, but she is also a little leaky 'cause she will miss having another "little one" around the house....sheesh Mama..he sniffed me like ALL THE TIME...that would take some getting used to!!!

Thanks to everypuppy and human who helped in the search by putting it on your facebook, twitter and posting about it. Mama is going to head over and post the good news on Craigs List and the Shelter sites she visited. We hope that Frankie's Daddy listened to Mama and gets Frankie chipped PLUS get him a collar with contact taggies that STAYS ON.

As for me and Bilbo getting chipped....Mama is taking us this afternoon. I suggest that everyone tell their hoomans to do it soon if you are not chipped already!! At our vet it only cost 60 green papers for each of us and 60 dollars is SO WORTH IT. I don't know what I would ever do if I lost my Mama and my Daddy and they couldn't find me or I couldn't find them. Also, as a few of my commenters mentioned DON'T FORGET TO KEEP YOUR CHIP INFO CURRENT!!

As for the "little one" thing that Mama is pining for...We are going to be keeping our eyes on the animal shelters for a doggie our size, and Mama is going to start looking in earnest on Petfinder....

Thanks again for all your help!!!

Wordless Wednesday - Afternoon Shake and Stretch

Breaking News!!! Found Puppy

Mama and I went for our morning walk as usual this morning. We always have fun on our walks...kitties, squirrels, other doggies out walking their Mama's. This morning was a little different...This morning we saw a doggie who had lost his Mama!!! This was just horrible...Poor Mama was so very worried that he might forget to look both ways and a car might get him that she scooped him up and carried him all the way home!! He has no collar and no taggies so we took him to the V-E-T office and he is not chipped. Mama says that we are making an appointment to get chipped right away and if you are not chipped...you should really think hard about it, Found Puppy may have gotten home right away if he was chipped. We have also called the pounds and are going to put signs up around the neighborhood. We will also being putting an ad on Craig's List to see if we can find his lost Mama. He was groomed, so we think that his lost Mama might think he is lost and is sad...We all know it is no fun to have a sad Mama.

We also wanted to put his picture up here so we could ask you to help by emailing his picture to anyone you might know in Texas that could know his Mama. He looks a bunch like Mona...so with think part Doxie...and maybe part Bichon...and maybe even part Lhasa like ME! We think he is under the age of 1 cause he really likes to play and has ENDLESS energy plus he has not been tutored.

We are hoping and praying that by the end of the day Found Puppy will be reunited with his lost Mama. My Mama can't even imagine why anyone would not want this friendly guy...

I got Pressies!!

On Saturday our postman, who we don't EVER get to see, rang our doorbell and guess what??? No...our postman doesn't give us cookies (sniff..sniff). The next best thing tho...He brought me and Bilbo PRESSIES!!!

Not just one package but TWO!! Mama says we can only open one a day...Today we opened a special pressie from Fred! If you don't know Fred please click on his name and go over and say hi, don't worry I'll wait here while you go...

dooo...dee..duummm...daaa..dooooo..dee dum....OH your back!!

So Fred sent these special reason for no real reason except to thank Mama for visiting another bloggie! How nice was that!!??

Here is the movie Mama took when I was snoofling and opening the pressies!! Mama says I have to S-H-A-R-E my treats with Bilbo...I guess if I have to...

Thanks for all the cool pressies Fred!

Stay tuned tomorrow for Pressies, Part Deux!!!
