Take the Dog to the Bank
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is so hard to come up with an idea to write about for this blog when in less than 24 hours I will be on a flight to Miami, headed for my ultimate destination in the Florida Keys. A few friends and I are renting a great house for a few days and will be lounging, eating, drinking and merry-making all of next week.
Lacking any immediate inspiration, I turned to Google news to see what’s going on with dogs today, and learned about a greater Swiss mountain dog named Augie who’s in the doghouse this week.
According to Fox News, Augie’s owner, Kelley Davis of Apex, N.C., had earned $400 in overtime working as a physical therapist. She had planned to deposit the cash in the bank, but when she reached into her pocket to do so, it wasn’t there. The mystery of the missing money was solved when Davis noticed later that Augie’s eliminations were looking rather high-end, complete with pieces of $100 and $20 bills.
Augie seems to have failed to notice that the days when Americans could eat $100 bills for breakfast are long gone. Poor boy.
Davis has gathered the pieces of cash as Augie has parted with them, and plans to exchange them for new bills, Fox News reported.
So for those of you who offer a selection of gifts for pet lovers in your shops, you might want to consider a piggy bank (doggie bank?) or two for your inventory. You could save your customers a lot of trouble.
