I finally got my little boy chipped at his annual physical and shots.
The vet suggested I get him done. She showed strong emotion as she
described how she went to N'Awlins to help animals devastated
by Katrina. Not only the horrible conditions her team found in
deserted houses with animals trapped inside. But what got me was her
telling about animals roaming the streets in terrible shape. The
volunteer vets had no way to locate the owners; the animals had no
chips and no collars. I started to mouth off about "disadvantaged
people who don't take care of their pets", and stopped short. Who was
I to be patronizing others!!!!
Right then & there I signed up, my little boy got his chip -- didn't
let out so much as a "meow"
-- and I sent in the paperwork..
I had been under the impression that it was very expensive,
but that was not the case.
