If your pet was microchipped with a chip from "Save this Life" or you are unsure which microchip your pet received be sure to continue reading!
"Save this Life" has permanently closed their doors and erased their database. If your pet was previously registered with "Save this Life" there is no longer information associated with their microchip.
Currently if your pet becomes lost there is NO way for a shelter, veterinary hospital, etc. to retrieve your information.
**You MUST reregister the microchip with a new company.**
These are a few companies that you can reregister the microchip with:
• AKC Reunite
• HomeAgain Pet Recovery
• PetLink
• Peeva
• 24Petwatch
If you are unsure which company your pets microchip is associated with you can check the AAHA Microchip Registry Lookup or contact your veterinarian.
Please share as many pet owners are still unaware of the situation.

Dogs generally pull about 60 per cent harder on a leash when wearing a padded harness compared with a collar, even when the equipment is marketed as “anti pull” – putting the people walking them at risk of injury.

Some dogs – especially smaller breeds – pull with a force more than twice their body weight on the collar, potentially damaging their throats, says Erin Perry at Southern Illinois University.

“It’s really very shocking,” she says. “The dogs are almost choking themselves on that collar repeatedly. But the harnesses in our study just didn’t inhibit pulling in any way, and that’s definitely a wake-up call – especially because of the risk to owners.”

I am wishing all those impacted by hurricane Helene the very best. I live where earthquakes are our major scare. However we have no warning system in place. We just don't ever know when one will hit. If I lived there, I would be grateful for the NOAA & The National Hurricane Center, giving me warnings to gather what is important to me and get out of harm's way. For those of you interested, Project 2025 will dismantle and downsize NOAA & The NHC. Think how the loss of life would have been so much higher without that warning? Keep this in mind November 5. Here is proof of what I am saying:

The policy blueprint for a Republican administration says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ‘should be broken up and downsized’

Happy Birthday to Biscuit! 16 years old! I got her as an orphan, umbilical cord still attached. I fed her and pottied her and Tanner assumed the position of guardian and protector, as well as playmate. She was HIS kitten, no doubt about that. She would climb on him like a big, furry mountain.... and if something frightened her, she hid in his mane, and peeked out.
She was raised by dogs and when we go out for the last potty before bed, four all run out the front door. Three dogs and one Biscuit.
The last is Biscuit, today, doing what she does best, sleeping on my bed.
