Bengi Is Home!!! - All the details!!!!

[bobohyde]

Ellie, Can you give us an update on Benji? I'm wondering how he's been doing. Did he sleep a lot after he came home? Clingy and following you around? Post traumatic stress? Sleeping well at night? Nervous or jumpy? Just wondering if he showed any signs of what he went through.

I am soo soo happy for you! I love happy endings! I am so glad you did not give up hope!

Then also the lady that when to check on that yorkie that wasn't neutered, told me she had a beagle that was stolen and that they were able to track who had him because of the chip and they went to that house to get it.
I never heard of such chips. Maybe that low signal one exists. I searched on google and found nothing.

Over here (UK) it's called a 'tracer'. Here is link to the microchip that's also a tracer. Tracer Advance
I'd expect it's a similar 'thang' in the US.

Ignore my above post. It isn't a tracker. duh on me.
GPS collar is all i can find for tracking. I did think I'd read in the past about a tracker microchip, but probably just having a brain fart.

I am STILL grinning this morning after hearing this weekend that Benji was found!!

I was wondering about any update on benji also. He is a Christmas miracle

[MandiesMom]

I did a google search too, Ellie. I don't see a microchip with gps tracking. I see the regular microchip and then one for a collar with gps tracking. I'm still looking though...

I only know of GPS collars which for most of these little ones weight too much for them to wear.

He's doing great!!! I don't really see any trauma at all. He sleeps good too. I was worried about how he would react when we had to leave him alone in the house, since he's always had some separation anxiety, so that hasn't changed, but he didn't get worse either. He's demanding a lot of attention and with the babies it's hard, but I'm doing my best to make him feel good
He's a tough cookie, I don't understand how he can be sooo good after all he's been through

That's all I could find too and we were just discussing this the past week on another thread. They show a cat in the video but then say for dogs over 10 lbs so it's sort of confusing, but I love the idea.

The way the TAGG fits on the collar Guinness can only wear it on his harness because of how tiny his neck is.

I just got a response from channel 6 thru FB on my request to get a copy on their story; they said they will try to figure it out and will get back to me
