I usually let Deegan out to play by himself while I get ready for work in the mornings, but I am nervous because, should anything happen, like him slipping through the fence or what not, he won't have any identification on him.

I would like for him to wear a collar with a small tag with our phone number on it, but I am scared. Do you guys have your babies wearing collars with tags on them in a situation like that or not?

I wouldnt keep a collar on a little dog when you cant keep an eye on your them. Thier are too many horror stories about them getting caught on something and choking or hanging. And when you walk a dog on a collar its generally not good for thier neck. I only do collars for fashion purposes but even then I prefer necklaces. If you need something to walk your dog with I'd recommend a harness. Better support for your baby and all around safer.
