Maybe so, maybe not, but we weren't in the middle of a sequester at the time where things were shut down due to lack of funds while he jetted off everywhere.

Well, first of all kkc, you may believe that your god has always existed - and you're certainly welcome to that belief, but you also should realize that some of us follow the gods that came long before the Christian version.   Either way, let me see if I have this straight now. The only way to get into heaven is to ...more

Well at least they're keeping it in the US this time so it may be a *bit* cheaper. I doubt it.   The only true vacation I've had in the past 10-12 years was when we took the kids to Disney in 2008.

I have no problem with taking out people who would do us harm, regardless of their nation of birth. However, we can't just randomly decide that someone is a target. We have the premise of innocent until proven guilty in this country - that due process that we are all entitled to is what sets us apart from those in the ...more

The chip probably has the information for the vet's office - that's a stable location and they would know who the dog belonged to and how to reunite them. That's my best guess at least.
