[nagdu] Pet tags on the beach

Well, my vet used to give out two tags, first the rabies and then the 
license. For some reason, stopped giving out the license tag, but does still 
issue the rabies tag with a certificate that I would then send into the 
county for the license tag. Sounds like a lot of trouble to me. *smile.
