And hallelujah, hot damn, this one had a collar with 3 phone numbers on it! Count 'em, 3 numbers!
5 minutes, and the dog is home.:smile:
Uneventful, and doesn't make for a good story, but this is a good ending.:smile:

Michael, you (like me), appear to attract strays.
I am glad that this one had tags and was reunited with it's family in short order.

The story line may suck, but the ending has blockbuster written all over it!

And we can all remind ourselves that when we change a phone number (or start using a cell phone more than a land line), that's a good time to modify those tags ....
My dogs' tags have my vet's info (and mine). No matter what happens to my phone or number, my vet is a pretty solid contact.
What a great outcome!

I was just so happy to see the numbers and that the lady that answered cared. They were a mile away and had been looking for a couple hours.
Totally different than the last ones.:smile:

3 phone numbers? I feel like a slacker. Ripley's tag only has my address, land line, and cell numbers.
Good job, Michael. I was apprehensive about reading this post, thinking of Tina.
I LOVE this tag---noiseless and lots of room for info.

Turbo's is a Leerburg leather collar with a brass name plate riveted to it.
It has his name, my address and phone number.

Way to go Michael!
And Boomerang tags rock!!! They are the only dog tag I'd ever buy. The collar tags for adjustable collars don't come off on their own. Period.
My 3 have all have boomerang collar tags and Kenzi also has a plastic hang tag as it is much easier to see with her rough coat(FWIW, the plastic tags are high quality and wonderful, too - they don't clank around like metal ones either)
I skipped the address and dog's name on my dog's collars because I travel around with them a lot and I'd much rather have phone numbers for people to call. So each tag has my name, my home town and 3 numbers - my cell, my folks house number and my brother's cell.
I also have "I'm traveling" plastic hang tags to put on my dogs if I take them along on a road trip.
