I am paranoid about someone "borrowing" my dog. I don't know if I'd remember how to type without her sitting just above the keyboard, trying to help.

It's the law in Australia that you have to have your pet chipped, all scanners and chips are standardised although thats probably an easier task in a much smaller country like oz.
