Hey Dennis!
Wow, I think you’re a great salesdog! Harrison Ford would be so proud. Your cellmate, Bugs, is a rascal and I bet he can find a tax loophole…which I’m sure is a lot like a rabbithole…and will save you! Give him a carrot and he’ll help you out! If all else fails, try an under-the-table payoff to those hedgehogs. Shhhh
Grr and Woof,

Oh, Dennis, that is probably the fastest moneymaking scheme you’ve ever hatched. And you were foiled by revenue agents. We hope the check doesn’t bounce so Trixie can use it to make your bail.

Oh, Dennis. You’ve done it again…

Ooops. I think you should have just paid off, ah, paid your taxes to the ninja hedgehogs and been done with it. Unless sales tax is like 1000% in California. Which it totally could be. However, I’d be a little nervous about taking a check. Just saying…

Going to jail to uphold your rights as a free dog is quite noble. Or a little stupid. One of those.

Better empty kitty litter bags than full ones.

Good thing you weren’t trying to sell them on-line via amazon!

Well, this is usually the point where Trouble the Kitty would throw in some nefarious part of the plot, so maybe if Trixie orders you a lawyer this time, things will go smoothly!

What makes you think that Trouble WON’T be back. She always turns up, and I have never seen her just disappear. In her last will and testament, all she gave away was junk she didn’t want anymore. She will probably turn up there in jail, whether she is in her former body or that of a ghost, she will be along soon.
By the way, Ali Z is wondering when her cat cup tank will be arriving. Any idea about that, Dennis?
Kisses,
Stella

Wow Dennis – what a great idea! I bet people can do tons of things with empty litter bags – they can use them when they clean up their yards after us. Plus, us dogs can shred them. That’s worth a hundred bucks right there! – Your friends, Leah, Toby, & Meadow

In addition to the tax hogs being after you, Abby the Legal Beagle Extraordinaire bets you didn’t have a permit for the sidewalk business and haven’t paid your federal and state income taxes, or your FICA taxes. OK, here’s Abby’s first suggestion for your defense: you can’t get an SSN or TIN because you can’t sign your name, and you can’t pay taxes without an SSN or TIN. Second, you are technically a minor because the courts don’t do dog years, so this is entirely your dada’s problem as your legal guardian. Third, as you inherited the kitty bags, you get a stepped up basis value so you only owe taxes on any appreciation from the date of inheritance to the date of sale, nd Abby expects that is zero or even a negative number. Ipso facto, you don’t owe any tax on disposing of this inherited asset. Abby is not actually admitted to the California Bar, but she’s willing to overlook that if you are. Abby works for liver treats, but is open to negotiaton.

Dennis,
I never knew you were such a deep thinker. Civil disobedience no less.

Hey, California has to balance its budget somehow. Taxing empty litter bags is probably one of the better strategies we have heard out of Sacramento – or Washington.
