schirallicpa Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 My little doggers - Vinny - passed away a few weeks ago. He was with me for 14 years and was a major part of my tax practice as the social and welcoming committee. He had his own Instagram and I swear I got clients because of him. We had gotten him in January. We live in western NY and my husband is the town highway superintendent. So in January, he's pretty busy with roads. When I called him to go down to the house and check on my new puppy and he told me he was too busy, I started bringing him to work with me. He peed on lots of clients that year, and W2s and tax returns. As soon as he heard the door open, he'd be up and running to see who it was. I had a number of clients who would bring him toys and treats. I'm missing him! 2 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 I'm so very sorry. It's hard to lose a furry family member, and an office staffer, too. I'll miss seeing his pic. Hugs to you. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 I'm so sorry for your loss. No matter how long they are with us, our pets leave us much too soon. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Hopefully there is a doggy heaven where Vinny can play with my dog Raleigh who I had to put to sleep 6 years ago due to cancer. He was a character and I still really miss him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NECPA in NEBRASKA Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 I'm so sorry for the loss of your furry friend and helper. It's so hard to lose them. When we had to put down our 21 year old cat and office greeter, we got three kittens to make up for it. It has been fun, but a lot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Another pet mother here so sorry for your loss. But you may not need to change your avatar. I have lost all three of my office helpers/paper weights in my avatar but love seeing them again every time I check this site and post. Warm memories... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Michael Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 So sorry for your loss. I had a "greeter" cat for many years and most clients looked forward to seeing him every year. Only problem is he liked to sit on my lap when I was preparing returns and if I wasn't paying the appropriate amount of attention to him, depending on his mood, he would start tapping on the keyboard, making for some interesting results. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an awesome cat (thought he was a dog) greeter that managed to hit enough buttons that the computer crashed and restarted. I am relatively sure that he did not know how to use Alt Control Delete, but he was very smart. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbreck Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Just logged in after a vacation - sorry to hear this. Be sure and give yourself time to grieve as losing a pet is a true loss for many of us. My sister in law just told us yesterday one of her outdoor farm cats passed during the night. Glad I was able to pet and play with him a little last weekend - great guy and he also will be missed. They have cows and unfortunately named a few of them. BIG mistake. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some neighbors long ago would buy one animal to raise for their freezer. The year they got a steer calf, they named him Sir Loin, and that was a daily reminder of his purpose and ultimate fate. IIRC, they had a paid of piglets named Bacon and Sausage, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
