Check Your Pets Microchip Info before the 4th…

The 4th of July is just around the corner and if you missed the Check Your Chip event for your pets put on by the ASCMV you may want to visit your vet to have them check your pets chip to make sure your contact information is correct before the fireworks go off.

Many pets get freaked out by the fireworks and can be unpredictable and get out or run away. Having your information confirmed on the chip to make sure it is correct can help your pet get returned.

While this event is over ( I’m sorry I missed finding and sharing this event ) you can read the article here if you are interested, for ideas. Read More

A Quest to find the best Birria Tacos in Las Cruces…

It hasn’t been long since I discovered birria tacos and gosh darn they are so delicious that we have been even making our own at home. So I thought why not ask around and see if anyone knows who has the best Birria Tacos in Las Cruces.

I got a lot of feedback from a local Facebook group and so we are going to try them all out and see which ones we like the best. Check out our recent post about El Vagon Tacos (which was one of the most recommended restaurants for birria tacos) here on our Las Cruces Directory

Plus we want to know your thoughts too so I added a poll below so you can tell us your thoughts. Get ready for a Birria Taco Giveaway Contest soon.
