Pulled a Miss Emily Litella* moment this morning.
While renewing our dogs license on-line I see a payment category for "Altered" and a payment category for "Senior Altered" with the Senior amount being less. Hmm? I wonder. At what age does a dog become a Senior? I look it up and see it begins around 7 years old for Labs. Alrighty then! I scroll to the bottom of the page to pay to find the direction:
*Senior license fees are for persons 65 or older (not for senior animals).
This is when I go into full Emily Litella mode. 'What?' I say out loud. 'Why in the world would a Senior Citizen need to have a license to own a pet? I mean, when did this start?'
'Or, why do Senior Citizens have to come to this website to get a special license? What?? How in the world would they know to come to a county pet licensing site to get their license?'
Oh Ann. Have another cup of coffee.
I did finally come around to understand that Senior Citizen's receive a discount on their pet licensing fees not senior dogs. Ahem.
I wish I could blame my line of reasoning on middle age but, no. This is me.
Nevermind.
