That's the thing that bothers me. Not only did I have the "Walmart
make your own tags", I had just registered him with the city and had
his rabies done and had THOSE tags on him too. I don't know what
happened. The odd thing was when I went, and found him, and brought
the kennel #, dog #, and stuff to the front desk, they looked him up
and asked me what his name was. They had it on file! Which makes me
think he got lost in the paper shuffle some where and they never got
around to calling me, or someone thought I'd already been called.
They had in on the files that I had already been called. But I hadn't
gotten a call from ANYONE. :( Needless to say, I'll be asking more
questions when I pick him up tomorrow, and see if they have his tags
and such. For now I'm just happy he's safe and he's coming home. And
thanks to all the gerbil people for putting up with me. :)
