i hope it works. after all, our dogs are part of the family!

Happy Audits

Bingo! Give that man a cigar.

In Canada, if that is a working dog, it is tax deductible. I know of a dog that is a company mascot and is featured in the ad campaigns. All expenses have a deduction formula.

Vets are horribly expensive. My aging dog is developing lumps and a trip to a vet is coming up. Scared for her and worried about cost. :-(

Since it’s a 2017 rerun, here’s some more “light” vittles from Granny Clampett.

Afterwards, a couple o’pulls on the jug, out by the cement pond…

… but just for your rheumatiz!

It might be 2017, but I’m gonna go ahead and call it… GREEN PLAID ALERT! Everybody do a shot! … or if you prefer a cocktail, it’s Tequila Sunrise Thursday!

His big left thumb would be useful for hitchhiking…in England.

Don’t forget to deduct carrying Kiwi around the house under ‘commuting expenses’.

Careful, tax evasion is a felony!

Yeah, you can try it, but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t fly in an audit…

The IRS has hired a lot of new agents, watch out!

I don’t even know this guy and I’m happy for him.

I wasn’t laughing until I saw the look on her face.

Dude! One thing in life you “don’t” do is f**k with the IRS!

But does Kiwi have a SSN?

Go for it dude. They can’t catch folks soaking billions out of the economy, how can they expect to capture your peanuts.

So crazy it just might work

I wouldn’t if I were you

Kiwi seems cool with it.

Make sure you get the dog a SS#.

This guy puts the “fun” in refund.

If you’re gonna do that, make sure you declared him as a dependent.

He’s making a rather ‘taxing’ decision.

Good idea! If the dog as an emotional support animal, (and what pet isn’t) and it should be allowed. Probably isn’t – but it should be.
