    Tag Silencers

    Kenya's tags drive me NUTS!!!  She only wears them in public, required by law, but they are SO annoying.  It's funny b/c Coke wears his all the time and I never hear them, but Kenya's are so loud no matter where I put them.  I've tried all sorts of McGuiver ways of padding them, but nothing works.  I like those neoprene silencers, but they are $8-$10 each!  To me that's insane.  I found some military ones that are like a rubber band around the tag and are $1.50 for 2, but then the shipping is like $6 plus most sites have a minimum order.  Anything else I can look for/try?

    Kenya has a round AKC CGC/ID tag, an octagonal county/rabies tag (I'm assuming a silencer would work), and a bone-shaped ID tag that could go between the other two without a silencer.  She also has a microchip tag, but it's plastic (actually we lost it, but someone found it and left me a message that it's clipped to a fence...).

    Our local PetSmart has them.  I think they cost $1.99 each, & IMO they are well worth it.  The jinngling of tags drives me nuts.

     Weird, I hit quickreply and it replied without me...That was quick.

    Anyway, I was gonna say, why don't you just tape them together?  If they are printed on both sides, keep the tape simple so if anyone needed to, they could just slice it off easily.

    I kind of like the sound of Jamison's tags.  I get nervous and go looking for him when I don't hear them !

    I've got one from petsmart for Casey's name tag. I put his chip tag inbetween his county tag and name tag.  I like to hear a small amount of noise - so I know where is he is when it's dark and what not. The one from petsmart was really cheap, and it works well

    Bugsy goes berserk with tags clinking - we switched to www.boomerangtags.com (I think that's the url) and haven't looked back

    I love love love my boomerang tag!

    What about a rubber band around all of them? Then if someone needed to read them they could just undo it.

    I've got Caleb's tags wrapped in a piece of velcro that is used to bundle wires and cables.  I actualy got the idea fro Taz Lab.  They had similar tag silencers last year, but the velcro was pretty thin.  Mick's tags were in a little wallet like thing called Pet Pocket ID that slid over his collar.  With both dogs, I leave (left in Mick's case) the plastic ID tag out of the silencer.

     Do you sew? This is fairly easy to make. It's just a pouch with a grommet on it.
