Hi to all my pals. Mommy gets a newsletter from the ASPCA and she wanted to pass this on to all of my buddy's and your Moms and Dads. I don't get it but it seems pretty important. I mean Mommy explained that it might help her and Daddy paying the Vet bills for me and stuff. I am hoping that means more money for treats. That is so much a good thing. Its worth checking out anyway. Maybe we can make a difference together.

"Dear Animal Advocates, Introduced by Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, H.R. 3501—known as the Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years (“HAPPY”) Act—is a federal bill that would reward responsible pet parents by allowing them to keep more money in their pockets come tax time. We all want to give our animal companions the best care we possibly can, but it seems that pet care costs are always on the rise—and these days, it’s harder than ever to stretch the family budget. That’s why the ASPCA supports H.R. 3501, which would amend U.S. tax code to allow qualifying pet care expenses, including veterinary care, to be tax-deductible. This means that when you prepare your income taxes, money you spent on pet care that year would count as non-taxable income—and you can deduct up to $3,500 per year! Please help us support the HAPPY Act, H.R. 3501. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
licks and sniffs, Sasha
