| There was a thread about this within the last 2/3 weeks but when I did a search it did not pop up.

| As much as I would love to have a tax credit or two for 2 yorkies, I would be so afraid for this to be become true. Can you imagine how many people would take advantage of this and possibly get pets and not take care of them or worst yet, abuse the poor babies? I would not want this to become something that would just be an opening for animals to be used and abused. JMO

| I hear you, it IS a concern. But the number of animals being just abandoned and put into shelters and PTS because people cannot afford them is skyrocketing too.. it's like a catch 22 situation. It's also pretty far-fetched that it will actually pass.

| It's a shame because we do spend a lot of money on these little guys. And we do take them for check ups, teeth cleaning, shots, spays and neuters and etc, etc, etc. Boy would I love to get some tax break. lol. For work I used to leave on Thur evenings til Monday evenings and hired a cat sitter for my 2 girls. I asked an accountant if I could write that off under unreimbursed business expenses...he said that I could try. Never did say if I'd get away with it though. lol
