Just got a note from the city informing us that we are being cited for owning an illegal dog. Seems little Oscar de la Hoya the Terrier has not had his license renewed on time.
Poor Oscar. Just another illegal immigrant in San Francisco with a Hispanic name.
This latest news just adds insult to his most recent injury. We’ve Oscar-proofed all the drains in Sonoma to stop him from chasing critters down them and getting stuck.

Oscar contemplates a terrier-proofed drain.
I bet SF charges a hefty fine for an illegal dog
At $26, it’s one of the few “bargains” left in City government. But who knew, when you got your dog vaccinated and got all his tags, that you still had to go through a separate process to get him registered.
I have visions from old WWII movies as some scary uniformed character confronts Oscar: “Your papers are not in order.”
This is hilarious! I didn’t even know dogs HAD to be registered — and yearly at that??
I’m not sure it was a rule BEFORE but the City is scrambling for revenue.
I thought San Francisco was a sanctuary city.
I’ll bite my tongue and not comment further.
oh!! (just commenting so you get credit on your counter thing) 🙂
Does oscar hang out at the home depot a lot? I should have guessed.
Good one Maybelline and Scooter! Oscar may be illegal, but he’s going light on the City services. And now that we mailed in the check, I guess he’s a bona fide taxpayer.
you are a regular lawbreaker- get those papers in order before he is deported.
