Koa needed a new dog tag since I changed my cell number. So, I purchased a coolio make-your-own tag. All I had to do was use a Sharpie to write his name and my number, pop it in the oven for 5 minutes, and voila! It was like when I was a kid again playing with Shrinky Dinks. It starts out as a huge floppy piece of plastic, shrinks before your eyes, curls up, and then flattens out again. The end product is a thick, hard, compact little tag a third of the original size. What fun! Here‘s Koa modeling his new tag. I think it’s cute and makes less noise that his old metal one.
