1886 - My Pets

My Pets


 For the last sixty years or so

Creatures shared in my roadshow:

Some hidden, some on display

More dependants, I would say—

Cats and dogs and the ATO.



For the overseas folk: ATO = Australian Taxation Office.

  1. LOL, does it work, claiming them for the ATO? Made me smile.

  4. Cats and dogs definitely are dependents!! If only one could use their veterinary care to get a tax break!

  5. I couldn't tell if you had real creatures or knickknacks and stuffed toys, haha, it's the word "hidden" that made me wonder. How do you hide a dog or cat? But maybe you have turtles and iguana? Anyway, three cheers for your roadshow!

  7. The care and love we give to animals should be a tax break.
