Today is the day – tax day, and income taxes are due! As always, I put it off and am now in tax stress. Every year my tax return seems to be more and more work, and I never get money back. It seems unfair for a dog with a UK passport to file a US tax return, but if she lives and works here, it is the law. Remember, as I say every year, pee on the mailbox after mailing your tax returns. Don’t get mad, get even!
Today, I’m joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop sponsored by BlogPaws! Don’t forget to stop by and visit some new blogs for fun!
Lucky us we have no such day over here. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
The queen must spare you all from the torture!
That sounds like a rotten job to have to do, Emma! I hope you’ve finished and can relax now.
It is a lousy job but some dog has to do it.
LOL I felt like doing that this year as we had to pay.
Paying is rotten…I know how it feels this year too.
We managed a very small return. Isn’t the stress horrible? I am not sure I know how to pee on the mailbox, but my girlie Boston siblings can do a 3 legged pee! XOXO Sparkle the PBGV
Taxes are a real pain in the fur! You will learn to pee like a boy some day. I do it occasionally.
Our dad is always on the ball and lodges them way back in february 🙂
I wait until the end if I think I have to pay.
I think I will try peeing in the mailbox. I like that!
It helps get the frustrations out of your system.
One word – PRICELESS!
Sadly, my W-K9 form did show a price 🙁
hmmmm maybe it is helpful to send that tax thingy as a message in a bottle than to put it in an envelope? I mean if we all pee on the mailbox it probably ends with a yellow ocean :o)
Very good point! You are always thinking my friend!
That is the price of a working dog. It looks like you have been a little heavy-pawed on those treats! LOL!
Mom says I need to budget more carefully and think before I buy. I usually purchase on instinct.
Emma – twice as much $$ on treats as on your food? How do you keep that girlish figure!
I do share with my sisters and I work out a lot.
I say UGH to tax day!!! Nuff said!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Yes! In the mail and move on…
You better hurry up and get those things done
Lily & Edward
I don’t like numbers much unless I’m counting treats, so I procrastinate.
`Geez Emma, you cost more than I do and i am a poodle. Talk about high maintenance! BOL!
Wednesdays wags,
Mom says I’m a diva dog, whatever that means. A girl needs stuff, need I say more?
Just got them out. You shouldn’t have to pay Emma animals should be exempt! We always owe:( they should let us take our dogs (animals ) off as a deduction. They are our kids:)
Exactly! We all suffer higher taxes because of human kids with schools, etc, what about dogs?
You got this!
I hope so. I don’t need any IRS dude knocking at my door repossessing treats and stuff.
We just had ours done last week. No fun at all.
I barely dig up enough green stuff to support myself and then that Uncle Sam, who I don’t even know, demands my money.
The best part is that the line item for snacks is twice as much as the one for food. Eko and Penny dream of achieving that ratio.
I know what is important and I do share them with my sisters.
It’s a lousy time of year, that’s for sure!
Lousy day until they are mailed.
Mom did ours this weekend. We don’t bring in any bacon, we just like to eat bacon!! hahaha Lilly and I thought that joke was really good. your doodle friend Dash
I bring in the bacon around this joint…at least the bacon snacks! Tough work being a working dog!
Haha. This is very clever! Great post! I am surprised though that the Spa expenses aren’t higher!? Have a pawsome day! 🙂
I’m not a fan of the spa, so I keep those visits to a minimum and splurge on stuff like treats.
🙂
Very cute photo Emma, and we are loving the recommendation for getting even as well! Bear and Scooter are excited to give that one a try- tax season IS stressful!
Numbers are so boring and all the worrying about the green stuff…taxing for a dog! Peeing on the mailbox helps relieve the stress of it all.
Do mine next please!
I’ve got my paws full with my own! I don’t enjoy this task at all!
WE so agree….. PEE on the Mailbox after mailing the TAX Check… OR don’t get EVen… get BETTER… POOP there also.
You said it, right on! Being a lady dog, I didn’t want to go quite that far and tarnish my image 😉
Yep, just got back from the post office after a late night of shuffling through papers, printing and writing checks, urgh!
I wish Mom hadn’t gotten me my own bank account. Now I have to write my own checks with my own money.
I did my taxes Sunday and it wasn’t fun at all. Can’t even imagine doing it as a dog…
It’s real difficult. Unless it involves critters or food, I have lots of trouble with counting and numbers.
Hi Emma! My Mommie says she does not have to file income taxes anymore because there’s no money left, all because of my toys and stuff!!! How cool is that??
Bruin
That’s lucky for you guys! Since I started modeling and then blogging, making my own money, I have to file my W-K9 every year.
You look like a very good girl doing your mum’s work.

Actually, I have to work out my income and she has some guy handle hers. We put both incomes together and file then.
Great advice Emma thanks! Love Dolly
Do the taxes ahead of time is the best!
Oh dear, last minute Emma….it looks like you have your work cut out for you with two computers going. The clock is ticking!
At least some snacks help calm the nerves. What a mess I have going on!
Ba Humbug and the Grinch come to mind for some reason!
Yes, I do think you are correct there! Bah humbug!
It looks like you guys spend more money on snacks than on regular food Emma, what’s going on over there? 🙂 I squeaked my taxes on Saturday, dang but it was stressful!
I get to use my money for stuff, so I buy what is important and I share with my two sisters so I need lots of snacks.
Dat peein on da mailbox sounds like a good plan!
Just a subtle message to Uncle Sam and it makes you feel better too!
Excellent advice about the peeing, Emma. Can you deduct Bailie as a dependent??
I think she is more of a liability than anything!
The mom and dad finished their taxes ages ago so they wouldn’t have to worry about it now.
I’m a procrastinator when it comes to paying the government I guess.
Happy Tax day to you! We did ours early!
Good for you!
We hope you got yours done in time.
Millie & Walter
It’s a tight one, but I have the date stamp on the envelope!
Hahaha!! Emma, you are a busy girl with diverse sources of revenue. It makes taxes hard, but life good! You are a savy business dog! Good idea to pee on the box….Mom might be mad though (ours is on the house). Do you think since she e-filed I should just pee on the computer?
Oh dear, I would never recommend peeing on the computer, it is far to important of a device!
Your such a great accountant
I work the numbers, but only when I have to.
Haha, I like your “pee on the mailbox” suggestion 😉 We file our taxes online…so I’m going to discourage peeing on the laptop!! Hope you got everything done in time & can now relax.
Heavens! Never pee on a computer, let alone in the house! Only pee on the US Mailboxes which belong to the USPS which is a government thing like the naughty IRS.
I don’t know, Emma. Wouldn’t it make more sense to pee on the tax returns?
Maybe if you use a laser printer for your forms, but if you use an ink jet, it might run and you would have to do them over again.
As a naturalized citizen, I can appreciate your position on the whole tax filing thing but I rather like your solution with peeing on the mailbox. 🙂
The peeing on the mailbox allows us to get our frustrations out without causing any real harm 🙂
