So I just had to share with all y'all about a new thing our vet is doing now, ID cards for my girls!! The scan below isn't great, but you get the idea. I'm thrilled now that if I take them anywhere I've got documentation of their shots, etc. I took our address off these because of security issues, but it has our info on it as well. So now all I've got to do is find middle names for my girls, thanks Sally!

Great idea k deed! And adorable pictures too!! I really like the whole concept!
But here's something craaaazy!! Years ago I started an animal advocacy group and I named it NOAH's FRIENDS!!! My logo was a sketch of a human hand gently holding a miniaturized Noah's boat with the animals. (It was a licensed charitable organization)
So is this the name of your Vet's office or the group who did the ID card? Just wondering if somewhere in their past they had come across my organization. That would be really, really something!!
Next Meesha and Melody will be getting diriver's license IDs!
Can't wait to see what middle names you come up with!
Mich love to you, the girls and, of course, the hub a dub!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
It's actually the name of the vet office. We've been seeing them ever since we brought Harmony home some 8 years ago. They're really great people, a country vet office that services small and large (equine, etc.) alike.
As far as middle names, I'm thinking I could use the help of some suggestions.

OMG ... I love this idea!!! I need to get this for Jasper Lily. What a great idea and especially since we travel a ton, would be good to have her shot info in one place. Do you get new ones each time they get new shots?
I can help with some middle names .... I love dogs with middle names! XOXO

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
I don't know about updates and such since this is the first time our vet has sent us ID cards. The place that they're using is vetscene.com.

REALLY love this, especially with our nomad lifestyle. I'm going to forward it on to Colorado State's Community Practice Clinic, which is where Wyatt Ray gets his annual exams. What a great idea!

Awww . . . my middle name is Sue and so is my mom (yeah, Peggy Sue). Not sure Meesha would want to follow that line. LOL!

These are the names I like with Melody: (I do like Ann but I would do it like this Anne)
Kate
Claire
Louise
Jane
Jade
Rose
For Meesha I like:
Grey (or Gray)
Grace
Rose

I think because I don't personally have a middle name, that is why all my dogs have always had them ... 🙂
But I think any name is a good name ... XOXO

ooooo . . . I like those! I'm particularly fond of Rose and Rae. That way they both would have the same initials.
hmmmmmm . . . .

GREAT ideas Alison!!

I don't know how you go from Sarah to Sally .. I've heard Margaret to Peg and that doesn't make sense to me either. Sally suits you though .. for some reason!
And I love those names for me, Sally!!! My daddy called me his "joy" so that does make sense....
Well when I lived in New Orleans for 5 years, I earned a nickname there ... they called me "Ali Mae"... I loved it!
My mom had named me Alison so people would call me Ali but it never stuck. Some of my friends now call me Ali but not a lot. 🙂
I've always loved "rose" as a middle name ...

Fun thread Pam. Maybe Pearl.....Belle......still liking Rose and Rae though.
.So Alison Joy, looks like your Dad must have used this thread today to let you know he's still around watching over you! And you know Myrtle is Myrte Mae. (Or May)...so I guess that makes us related? Huh???

This is a fun thread. My middle name is also Ann, as is my youngest daughter's. Chandler's is Douglas ( my one daughter started calling him that), Lucy's is McGillicuddy for I Love Lucy and I am thinking James goes well with Daryl. How about Messha Mae, share the wealth.....or ah, the middle name LOL. Lori, Ty & Gang
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
