In today’s mail

By on 2007 10 06 at 7:38:01 pm

… A reminder from the Treasurer, County of Contra Costa that dog license L04-043576, Zeke A156359, Neutered Male, DOB 02/12/1990, Brown Germ Shepherd Mix [all sic] expires next week along with said pet’s rabies vaccination. I can avoid paying for a new tag ($55 for three years!) by the simple expedient of returning the invoice with a mark in the checkbox labeled “Pet is Deceased or Given Away.”

    well, then, that would make it Official. nothing’s really real until the bureaucracy records it. future historians will thank you.

    Oh, Chris.

    You could return the invoice, checked appropriately, with one of your posts about Zeke printed and enclosed.

    I’m so sorry, Chris. Nothing like cold bureaucracy to bring pain back to bear.

    Of course, I’m sick right now, could explain the tears. But it still really hurts, doesn’t it.
