Happy

[DeathGrip]

I was out front playing with the dogs and a man pulled up across the street. He asked me if anyone was home and I told him it looked like it as her car was there.

He knocked on the door and got no answer so he came over to me and asked me if she had a gold and white cat. I told him she did and he said he had the cat at his house and his daughter had been taking care of it for a few days. He went to the local vets office to see if the cat had a chip. Yes!!! He said he'd been by her house several times but got no answer. Lucky I have her phone number and I called her up.

I didn't know she had just had back surgery and was having a rough time getting to the door. Needless to say she made it out in record time.

The man said wait and he'd go home and bring him back, He lives a few blocks away.

I've never seen her so happy. She told me the cat had been missing for a couple of weeks.

It's nice to see that people still care. What a great morning.

Sometimes simple things mean the most. I would be pretty frantic if my Dingo turned up missing.

Folks here will do the same for dogs. When you see a dog running loose around here it's typically gotten out without the owners knowledge. Cats often come and go as they please with the owners knowledge so I don't pay much attention to a cat. Getting a hold of a cat ain't so easy, so I tip my hat to that good samaritan.

Yep. I'm not a cat person but I know how much that cat means to her.

Get your little buddies a chip!!!

Looks like "a wonderful day in the neighborhood." I wouldn't mind bein' your neighbor. Good work!

Nice guy and a good excuse to get to know the neighbors.

I got be around for the reunion for a lost, chipped dog. I don't know who was happier, the owners, the dog, the folks who brought him to the vet's office or the vet. It was a tear-jerker for sure!

Both Boo and Jed have chips. We even had the stray/feral cat who adopted up "chipped"! The system works!!!

This story emphasizes the importance of having your companion animal microchipped.

There is no earthly reason not to have your Best Friend chipped. It's a simple process, painless, and inexpensive. Takes less than five minutes at the vet's office. You can get it done while you're there for other reasons. Sometimes veterinarians, humane societies, and city/county animal shelters offer microchipping for as little as $10.

There are cases where animals have been lost for months, even years, but have been reunited with their humans all because of a little chip the size of a grain of rice.

Do it.

Maybe we should get our families and ourselves microchipped as well. I mean, the TV shows are full of folks suffering from amnesia. If it ever happens to you, the chip could reunite you with your loved ones. Of course you still wouldn't remember them, I guess.

Three of my dogs....

Three of my dogs escaped from my car at a convenience store and nice lady found one of them and took him to our vet, who contacted us. We were delighted.

I'm glad your neighbor got her kitty back.

I would be nice if folks cared as much for orphan children.

Please have your orphan children chipped.
