conulySo, I ordered a new collar for Finn. He'd had a new collar, but after his original family reclaimed him the first time we lost it. I mean, Eva went to their house and got it back, but she gave it to a friend. But now he's back in our care, legally*, and we need a collar. For some reason, you can get leashes and combs and nail clippers for pets at the supermarket, but collars always require you to visit a pet store, and who has the time? So I ordered one. Technically the shelter gave us one, but the buckle is impossible and we can't get it open.
The collar came yesterday, except somebody opened the Amazon box and took out his regular collar and lost it. Both girls are denying that this was them, but it pretty much has to be. All that's in there is the martingale collar that stays attached to the leash. I don't want to put his tags on that! (And on the subject of tags, why do microchip companies give you tags? Isn't that a bit superfluous? The cats and dogs have tags with their name and phone number on them. If they lose those tags, wouldn't they lose the microchip tag as well? Isn't the whole point of a microchip to be back-up in case the tags get lost?)
This is all very annoying. I may end up at the pet store tomorrow, buying another new collar.
* Not that it was illegal before, because we didn't know who the heck he lived with then. Honestly, I thought he'd been alone on the streets a month or more!

It might be more convenient than the pet store, but it might not, and if it's not, just ignore me :)
