I took my dogs to the off leash park today. My little boy, Chublet, was quite excited. He’s a pug so he’s very silly and loves to tear around, panting, wiggling, running.

Chublet was running towards me, super excited, full speed ahead. When he reached me, he kind of turned and skidded and FOOOMP, out popped some poop! Suddenly he was stopped and finished the job. He had literally taken a flying poo right in front of me!

I’m always worried about what will happen should my dogs wander off and someone else find them. Will the people have the sense to get a vet to check for their microchips? Will the information on their tags be information enough?

And then it kind of sucks when I take them to the dog sitter and have to take two huge folders of information with me regarding their care and vet information, plus emergency contact information.

Well I saw this really neat tag for dogs called the Top Tag Pet ID. It’s a little USB device that you can use to store all kinds of information about your dog. It fits inside a little rubbery tag holder and you just stick it on your dog’s collar. Anyone with a computer can plug in the device and access the information. Pretty neat!

The information the tag lets you store fits into a few categories. When someone plugs in the Top Tag, the first page always loaded is the contact information. There are other categories too such as Main Diet, Photo Album, Words and Commands, Medical Information, and Behavior & Personality.

Yesterday, the pug meetup was held at a dog daycare that also runs a pet store. Chublet really needed a harness because he pulls a lot when I take him for a walk and I felt a harness wouldn’t pull on his neck as much. I was also concerned about him pulling out of his collar.

I had looked at our regular large chain pet store, but all they had were the usual nylon harnesses. They didn’t look too comfortable, and didn’t really seem to have the correct size.

While at the pet meetup, I nipped next door and checked out the small store. They had these wonderful little harnesses, made for smaller dogs, that have a stretchy mesh body to them. It looked so comfortable and fit Chublet well. He had plenty of comfortable room for his fat little neck, but the harness was still snug enough to fit.

I’m really pleased to have found this collar and now that I’ve looked them up online, I see that the company has a website. I thought I’d share the link with everyone in case you are having trouble finding a comfortable harness for your smaller dog.

I took my pug to the monthly Pug Meetup today. It was the Easter Meetup, and everyone got a door prize. Our price was a very funny Easter collar. Chublet didn’t think much of it, and refused to run and play once it was put on. However, when I returned home, Anna was excited that I might have brought something home for her, so I put it around her neck instead.

She was SO HAPPY to run around wearing this new collar. She’s always eccstatic to have something new and it’s pretty funny to see her walking around the house so happy. Check out the pics, I think it’s hilarious!
