Animal Control Just Came to My Door!

our buzzer just rang and i ran to it
thinking it was ups because i'm waiting
for something from them. nope, when i
asked who it was the reply was, "animal
control looking for bridget ______".
i got so nervous and i don't know why! i'm
still shaking!
so i buzzed him in and a million things
were going through my mind. i figured
someone reported my dog for something,
though i couldn't think of what.
then i was wondering if he'd eaten a cat
or a small child and maybe nick had
forgotten to mention it.
nope... his license had expired in april
and i'd forgotten to renew it.
ok, i hadn't forgotten. i just hadn't
gotten around to it. the notice i got in
the mail said to renew it in april or pay
$1 for every month it was late. there was
no mention of a $25 ticket that would be
served in hand!
i'm mad even though it was my
responsibility to renew it on time.

License? Your dog has a license? Is it for
like verification of shots or something?

yes, don't you have to register dogs
everywhere?
i have to show proof that he's had his
rabies shot and it's usually about $7 a
year to renew.
i could get in big trouble if he bit someone
and he didn't have a license.

I've never registered any dog, nor do I
know anyone that has. (aside from blood
line papers). Here you get a little tag
that goes on their collar that says where
they got their rabies shot and when.
That's it. You have to have proof of their
shots in case they do bite
someone/something (or else they will put
them down).

damn that sucks! I don't think they do
that here.I'm pretty sure my vet sends out
a reminder of when to get your dogs shots
and I haven't got one yet but I swer i was
suppose to get them like a month or so
ago. . .

Whoa, that would freak me out too. Yeah,
we have to license our dogs (and cats) as
well. It's $5 a year.
Wow, I wouldn't think animal control would
have done that. We pay ours thru our city
hall.

you get a ticket if your late on renewing
it!!

Our animal control officer is a effin
jerk!! My old dog passed away a couple of
years ago and he came to my door the year
after basically accusing me of hiding an
unlicensed dog out. He said, "Come on
.Cindy, it's only $X to license her" when
.I told him she had passed away he was
looking in my house to see if .I was
lying. I was so wild .I told him if he
ever set foot on my property, .I would
have my cat eat him.
Thank you for reminding me though, .I have
to go register .Coda now that he has been
neutered and had his shots.

we have to register our dogs here too.
It's $12 a year for the city and $6 a year
for the county. When I first got my dogs
I lived outside of the city so I got to
pay county price. Then when I moved and
my county tags expired I had to pay city
price. That ticked me the eff off. But
at least here they don't hunt you down
every year. If you don't renew then you
don't renew. Just don't let your dog out.
