Happy Home when everyone gets a good night's sleep

Whether we’re trying to get a good night’s sleep… or conducting zoom calls from our home offices… we don’t want to hear the annoying jingle of dog tags (or cat tags). However, where I live… I need to maintain id on my dog (Ms. Buttons) at all times in the event of an emergency or need for quick evaluation to my basement in the event of a tornado or dangerous weather conditions. (And yes, she's microchipped.)

​So here is a quick and easy solution to this common problem for dog owners and pet parents.

Level of Difficulty

Estimated Time to Complete

Once you have the item(s) needed, you can solve the dog tag jingle and clanking issues in under 2 minutes.

Safety experts warn not to put your dog’s name on their ID tag. Knowing the your dog’s name may help a thief pass on your dog to the unsuspecting new owners because it appears the thief knows your dog (because the dog responds to their name). Instead, my mommy had the following printed on my ID tag and recommends the following:

IF FOUND
CALL cell number
I’M MICROCHIPPED

Having Trouble Getting Started?

I used to feel the same way too. After all, who wants to put time into a project that may not work in their specific home? That's why I created this Quick DIY Check Prep (List) for getting you started on those projects that actually enhance your home. I use this when starting any home DIY endeavor... big or small. 

​Knowing the "whys" of your home projects not only helps you with the "hows" but keeps you focused on the DIY endeavors that will matter for you... saving you time and money.
