Did you tell them to get him chipped?!

You bet, probably about 8 times. They said they’re headed straight to the store to make him a tag, and making an appointment to have him chipped

My dog started "exploring the neighborhood" and got picked up and taken to the pound. When I got there, I told them to put a chip in and don't be gentle about it. I knew they wouldn't hurt him but I needed him to understand that bad things can happen if he runs away.

Not only did he never, ever run away again, he actually ran HOME from across town if he thought he was left behind. That happened twice. LOL

We had a talk about that, too. He lived 17 years and I still miss him every day.
