I've never taken the line 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. I understand some people do, but to discuss the relative merits or demerits would raise questions of overall attitudes to life that surely don't need to be aired here?? I simply don't like my pet being internally tagged like an object, but consented to it so we could take her in and out of the country, which we will no longer be doing, so let's go back to the state of things before she got tagged... I don't want to sound miffed but I don't need advice on how if she gets lost I'd be thankful she was tagged, and so on. I am also a bit surprised that my approach seems weird to some people. After all, not everyone rushed to get their dogs tagged as soon as tags became available...

(By the way, I also like windable car windows, because they can be opened and closed when the engine is off. I prefer them to electrically operated windows, despite the latter being more widespread and sold as an 'improvement'! Other people's mileage may vary, which is fine by me! )

Jeanie - it wouldn't put the dog through any pain. Presumably an anaesthetic would be used - unlike when it was put in.

Anyway, thanks!
