A Mpetsicrochip Could Save Your Pet’s Life!

A microchip ID is a small transmitter about the size of a grain of rice. When a scanner passes over it, a signal is emitted indicating the unique identification number of the chip. This tiny but sturdy little implant can reunite you with a lost pet, serve as proof of ownership or even mean the difference between euthanasia and medical care in an emergency. Did you know 1 in 3 pets will get lost during their lifetime?

Personally, I used to play and coach at a very competitive level. It is truly refreshing watching the boys on the Bombers enjoy the game. We teach the game, but we also teach them to have respect in themselves and the other team.

What do you like the most about the team? No question, the camaraderie of the boys and parents. The older team started as a pick-up team with 100% pool players. Over the last four years we have only lost three players to other teams, with one of those good neighbor boys moving out of state.
