Dog Tags/Identification Capsules
Lucy Ratdog (above) loves her stylish
dog tag. Unscrew the top, and it contains a scroll that has all of her
"important information" (like her Mommy's name, address, and phone, her Vet's
info, and her Rabies Shot information.) The capsules shown below all have
glow-in-the dark backgrounds, giving Lucy an extra degree of visibility should
she get out after dark. Artistcrafts' Dog Tags are available in a wide
variety of color patterns, on colored or on glow-in-the-dark backgrounds.
Each dog tag comes complete with a scroll to hold your pet's information.
Laurel designed these dog tags for
several reasons. First, it gives Laurel an "extra degree of
protection" when men stop to play with Lucy when they're out walking.
Laurel does not have to worry about anyone surreptitiously getting her
address or phone number off Lucy's tag. Second, Laurel and Lucy like
to hit the road together. Whenever they're away from "home base",
Laurel inserts a scroll into Lucy's tag that holds the local contact
information. That way, if Lucy escapes, it's easy for someone to
return her to the temporary home. Finally, Lucy loves "girly
girl" accoutrements, and hence, loves the fact that she is one of the few
non-humans in the neighborhood who get to sport a hand-made, one of a
kind, piece of jewelry. Lucy is a good girl, and she deserves to be
spoiled with functional jewelry.
My sister saw Lucy's Dog Tag one day
and immediately purchased two to be used on young children's backpacks.
She loves the idea of ensuring her children have Mommy and Daddy's contact
information with them at all times, but that a stranger cannot find this
information easily. One of my nephews is still too young to know
his address and phone number "by heart". He doesn't know Mommy's
cell phone number either. My sister has taught him to "present" his
ID Capsule to a "trusted adult" (police man, security guard, store clerk,
etc.) should he ever get lost or separated from his family. When
they go out of town, she makes a new scroll with the hotel information
included. She's purchased several additional ID caps for her nieces
and nephews.
These ID caps are also fantastic for
adults with cognitive disabilities and/or Alzheimer's Disease. ID
caps can be strung on an adjustable leather cord, with or without accent
beads. They can also be put on a key ring. They are great
accessories for adults that may need to carry identity reminders with them
at all times, but may wander away without a purse or wallet.
