Hey all, its Vicki; Tinks here helping : ) We went to woofstock 2006 on Sunday and had beautiful weather, met lots of cool bostons and people and had tink microchipped. After they brought her back out they told us she was ALREADY microchipped and they didn't realize it until after the second one was in. So, I made a phonecall to a local vet on monday and had the second chip scanned. We were HOPING it might tell us more information about our little girl but all we got was that its a homeagain chip and that it was put in but never activated with any information... just that its in a female Boston.... So i was sad and relieved at the same time... sad that there wasn't more information and relieved that there wasn't someone else's name attached to her. So now both chips have the SAME information attached to them. My biggest fear was someone finding her and reading the chip that has no information with it. Who is going to look for a SECOND chip? anyways, we're all set and ready to go. I'm just praying we NEVER need to use them.
On a slightly sadder note, i've had a second vet tell me they think think is a lot older than 6... this lady seemed to this Tink was more along the lines of 10 years old.... 10!!!!?!?!??! It makes me so sad in so many ways...
a) that someone potentially dumped a little old lady of a dog!!!
b) that i have less time with her
c) that she won't live for another 20 years : )
but, this also means that we have MORE time to catch up on which means more spoiling and more love and more affection (if thats possible)
So, i'll use 2000 as her "birthyear" for consistency, but really she could be anywhere from 6-10 years old.... We love this dog so much though it just doesn't matter... although its good to know because we will feed her slightly differently and be extra diligent about supplements and helping her joints and bones.
Sigh, off to start dinner...
