A microchip for Sunshine

I want to get Sunshine a microchip since Blossom our husky mix has started to excavate herself out of the yard again. A couple of nights ago she dug out through a stream bed that we have that goes under the fence. We installed heavy rocks over the area again. I'm not sure how the old ones got moved. Maybe when the pond was worked on.

Yesterday Blossom tried to excavate herself out of a fenced area where the bottom of the fence was staked down and concreted in. She managed to work two large chunks of concrete away from the fence (it is 4 years old so has started to crack from the freezing and expansion). She didn't make it out since we were only away from the house 4 hours so we found her before she got out. The telltale signs are her being covered in dirt and mud from snout, all the way down her front, legs and paws. When she actually got out she was dirty from nose to tail.

Both dogs got a bath yesterday. While Sunshine does not like the bath, he does like having his fur combed out. Both dogs are shedding their winter coats so there was plenty of fur.

I called our mobile vet who is out of microchips but they are on order. I hope we get him done soon, just in case. I also hope if Blossom makes a break for it again, he doesn't follow her. However, he is VERY interested in all that goes on outside the fence.
