Microchipping Update

Good news everybody, not only is Tia now microchipped but I am now qualified to microchip dogs, cats, rabbits and ferrets as well. Last Sunday Tia and I attended a course and she was my first live dog. It was a great day as I got to chat to lots of like minded people and although I was nervous by the time it came round to chipping a live dog I was confident that I could do it. Tia didn't even bat an eyelid, she was more interested in the other dogs that were there. It took no time at all to do the deed and it was nowhere near as bad as I'd expected, there wasn't even any blood, in fact I couldn't even find the spot where the chip was implanted. Next step is making sure my insurance covers me for chipping and buying the equipment. Then I can get on my way to making sure that the dogs of Falkirk are Microchipped and can easily find their way home if they are lost.

Our First Post - Introductions

Hi, I'm Erin and I'm a dog walker in Falkirk. I decided to start this blog to share my stories, tips and opinions on the doggy world. As a dog walker I'm often the first port of call when someone has an animal they need rehomed or if someone is looking for a new pet in the Falkirk area, there is nothing more satisfying than finding a pet its forever home. So from time to time you may find that I give you a sob story about an animal that needs somewhere new to live. I will update this as often as possible. Until then, happy dog walking.
