Tip: Use Rivets to Stop Clanging Dog Tags 01/09/2012
![]() Not a very clear photo, but you get the idea. I'm heading out on a business trip shortly and wanted to leave a few words before my flight leaves. Aside from being busy with annuals (Brian, with Travis and Matthew's help, wrapped up the Red Baron yesterday with no red flags), I have little to report. So I thought I'd share a tip... If you have a pet with multiple dog tags (e.g., ID tag and rabies tag), they often jingle with every step. With a high-energy breed like a Gordon Setter, that's a lot of jingling. To bring sanity back to our lives, Brian riveted Annabelle's tags together, with the text facing out on each. We've discovered riveted tags works almost too well. Now, Annabell, AKA Stealth B-2, has scared the beejeezus out of us more than once by silently flinging toys at us. Consider yourselves warned.
