#gps tracking

Hey everyone! Ygritte and I wanted to make a sort of PSA since we’ve unfortunately seen a lot of missing posters for dogs in our surrounding communities—

—and whether that’s car-filled (sub)urban or wide open and dangerous in their own ways rural regions, it’s absolutely scary to lose your dog. Cats too, but this fix doesn’t really work for them because of the weight, unless they make much lighter GPS trackers (and they likely will in the future!).

This here is one of those Apple AirTags. Basically a geotag and it goes wherever your dog goes, the battery can usually last a whole year, is easily replaced too, and anyone who finds your dog can actually scan it using an app too! Or their microchip, but that requires your dog to have a microchip and for the person to bring them to the vet to scan the chip.

The absolutely wonderful thing about this AirTag is that it’s real-time tracking, not passive like the above example. You can quite literally open up your Find My iPhone app (or use the website if you have no Apple products other than AirTags—oh, and Tile tags are great too!!!) and see exactly where your doggo is. Or whichever family member constantly gets lost… the possibilities are endless lol.

Mum’s accidentally left Ygritte outside on more than one occasion and usually she doesn’t go far but the one time she did, we just hopped in the car with her leash and then went and fetched her with the convenient app map for the AirTag. This one isn’t mine and is an example, but you get the idea:

(Yup, even works in the conservation area with barely a bar—I didn’t lose her, we were just testing it out :P)

As mentioned before, people can use this app to scan AirTags that aren’t even in their circle and it’ll give you just enough info to get it back to the owner without giving out super personal information.

At the start of all this I eyed my dad skeptically, but holy moly this has been the best investment ever and they’re not like… stupidly expensive. I’m totally pulling the card though: if you love your doggo as much as I love mine, please invest in one of these or a similar technology.

Sadly, our escape-prone (on purpose) devil kittens are too tiny (so far) for the AirTag but we’re definitely planning for it when they’re bigger and/or the tech gets smaller.

Real time tracking of your escaped animals is a godsend.

Just please don’t goddamn track your spouses/SOs. There is such a thing as too little trust. But animals can’t exactly look after themselves fully in this situation and rely on us to care for and look for them.

I always will, Ygritte, my darling.

I'm assuming your talking about GPS tracking.  The cult you are attempting to leave would have to have some financial resources to track you via GPS over any significant distance.The tracking device would have to be in your clothing, shoes, cell phone, jewelry, or car. To get rid of it, if you can't find it, dump all of those things, and buy new the day you leave. (Don’t take the car at all if you’re leaving)

If you are talking about an under the skin implant, the cult would have to have Government/Military backing for you to have this. You would have to have it removed.
