>[Moderator's note: Have you considered just buying a tag for $3 and putting >your phone number on it? BIG] Yes, BIG. About 30 seconds after I sent my message yesterday, it occured to me that some big national tag system would have only minimal advantages over the three dollar tag bearing the owner's number. Next time I'll wake up first, and make sure that small, furry, wet-nosed beasties are not tickling my toes when I post. :) What I'd really love would be some kind of tatoo system like the one we have for cats' ears, because that would mean that my fuzzits would still be identifiable even if they weren't wearing collars and tags. These kids hate their harnesses, and adding anything like a bell or a tag just makes it worse. But I just can't see tatooing a registration number inside a ferret's ear. Wouldn't fit! cmc -- Christine Code We shall find peace.
