ARGH!  No, I hadn't thought of that at all!  I'll stop
and get a new ID tag made this week, with my cell
phone number on it so that I can be reached 24/7. 
Also, I'll call my vet with the new info BEFORE the
actual move - her rabies tag is linked to the info in
the vet's office.  She is microchipped, but I don't
take too much stock in that for quick ID purposes.  I
will contact the company and give them the new info,
too.  I don't know how long it takes them to update
their data base, but I'm not as worried about that as
I am about the others.  A new neighbor isn't likely to
have a chip scanner in their back pocket, but they
will certainly be able to read the tags.  Also, I have
to contact the town and update the address on her
license.  

I can't believe that I didn't think of these things! 
Thank you!!!
