View from Vining, 05/03/2007

Our dog Allie renewed her citizenship last night as a resident of Vining at the annual dog licensing clinic held at the fire hall. On hand to assist at this event was the town clerk, who after receiving the $5 registration fee issued the official paper license and dog tag; a local vet who was available to administer any shots your dog needed and the mayor. (All by the way are good Lutherans.) The city clerk told me that "Allie was the last to register last year and the first this year." Obviously her owners are making some progress.

The fire hall is kitty-corner across the street from our house, so it was fun to watch the neighbors and their dogs arrive for the event. I also appreciated the city's willingness to provide such an event for the safety of our dogs and town.
