It's time for a pet PSA.
If you own a pet that likes to go outside and you purchase a cute collar for the pet, please be sure that when you make the tag for the cute collar that you don't go all fancy. It's not necessary. Plus, it does not help when your pet becomes lost or wanders away. The sad person who finds your pet and is willing to call you to make sure you know where Suzie is, does not want to have to decipher, let alone fight with the pet just to read the phone number on the tag. A simple font will do. And please, make it big enough to read.
Have you ever tried to read the number off of a collar of a very excited puppy? They lick you everywhere. They are too excited to sit still long enough for you to read the number on their collar.
Or a very friendly cat? Because a friendly cat does not equate to a cat wanting you to have anything to do with that stupid collar that some other human has forced it to wear.
Both of these things have happened to me. In the case of the excited puppy, Bill was there to dial the phone while I got licked. In the case of the friendly kitty, it was raining and eventually (after I was covered with cat hair) I managed to get the phone number. Or the best number I could decipher because the font was all script and fancy.
Hence my PSA.
Thank you.
Your neighborhood pet rescuer.
