Doing Your Taxes

     Well,  here is a possibility!  I am just getting the taxes organized. Henry does not have fleas -- but they would be my dependents, right?  Grand-fleas in my care.  I take care of Henry, and naturally claim him as a dependent.
     There is a temptation to withhold the flea meds for a few months.
     What? What? You say I'm not allowed to claim my pup Henry as a dependent?  What are you talking about? He costs nearly as much as either of my two human children maintenance wise! ...and is certainly more demanding than they ever were - and not as cute, although nearly at times.
