It takes awhile to see their true personality. I thought I had a snuggler, but guess not! Who has a rescue pet? Did their personalities change at all?

Did you know... That a lot of the cute holiday plants are poisonous to cats? Keep them out of reach if you choose to still have them.

This is such an important thing to remember. When I worked at shelters I scanned most of their front half and down their back but I don't think I usually checked the bends in their legs!

This is an X-ray of a dog’s bent front leg. See that tiny white spec? That’s a microchip! It has migrated down the leg....far from where it was inserted, between the dog’s shoulders. This is actually quite common.....

When lost pets are scanned, the entire body SHOULD be scanned to catch any that have migrated. But, as an owner, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AT THEIR YEARLY VET EXAM, to ask for a quick scan to make sure that: (1) the chip is still working, (2) the location of the chip is good, and (3) that the chip info is correct.

Remember microchips save lives and reunite families with their pet.... just have it checked regularly!

Anyone dress up their pets for Halloween? This was Batman around 7 months old. He loved dressing up but this look seemed perfect for the costume so I chose it. Feel free to post your photos!
