Do We Need a "Lessons Learned The Hard Way Group"?

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Just in the last couple days we have learned three valuable lessons that all Doodle Parents need to know.  We thank their Mommies for sharing their stories and hope that others will learn from them.

#1 -- Bentley has reminded us of the importance of being buckled in regardless of how far you are traveling.  Just going to Petsmart is not a harness free trip!

#2 -- Joplin has reminded us that we need trash cans with lids just in case we forget to shut the bathroom door!  and while I'm on the subject I also remember a post on SOCKS, so keep those socks picked up too!

#3 -- And finally, Bandit has reminded us that if you eat too many yummy treats and food that your mommy is going to call you  F A T and you are going to get put on a DIET!

I'm sure there are others that I've missed, so feel free to add those or any others that you think are worthy!

Here's my lesson learned: get accurate dog tags on your new puppy, regardless of her age.

Charlotte and Webster ran off a couple weeks ago and Charlotte did not have tags yet. She was only 9 weeks old and she seemed so little for a dangling tag. She was rarely out of my sight or out of the house so I thought I could wait until she was a little bigger (I was thinking 12 wks old). Webster is microchipped & tagged but their little adventure ended when a great pyranees chased Webster off leaving Charlotte by herself. It was a miracle that we found Charlotte and the next day we went out and bought her tag. She'll be microchipped when we go in for her next set of shots, we have a new temporary fenced doggie area and we are shopping invisible fences!

Here is a perfect tag that doesn't dangle and can be moved to any collar of the same size.
Costs $10.20 with delivery to your door within 1 week and includes a donation to the DRC - it is the same exact price if you ordered from the company directly. If anyone is interested, let me know and I will order for you.
I have one for each of my girls and I got one that says "I'm A Foster" so all my fosters have my info on their collars.

I have"SAMANTHA" and my name, cell # and DH name and his cell #

ADRIANNE!! - You have been holding back on all the cool DRC merchandise!! I am going to send our info pronto!! I was goingto get Gladwyn a tag the day I got him but didn't know what to put on it! What a great idea!! But one caveat - Can I come to NJ to pick it up instead?? ha ha!!

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

I just bought a new tag for Peri - wish I had seen this before!!!

There are some really great reminders here. Does anyone know if I start a "GROUP" can all of this info be moved into the group, or should we just continue here?

After Bandit's vacation at the vet last month, I have learned PET INSURANCE is worth the monthly payment:)
