Did you know microchipping dogs becomes a legal requirement in England, Scotland and Wales on April 6th 2016.
Northern Ireland has already previously introduced it.

One snag we have found is that although the microchips are inserted through back of neck over the years they move around and are not always easy to find again.

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.

At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

Same here in Southern Ireland on March 31st. Not fussed as my wee dog is never off the premises and never unsupervised. I am very remote rural here.
