California has always been on the
cutting edge of technology and the arts
Even as its taxes and regulations
are causing companies to depart
At last we have heard the alarms
when Toyota to Texas leaves
Film companies lured by tax
credits to film elsewhere while our FTB seethes
At last a bill has been in the
Assembly passed to make us a Dog-Friendly State
No longer chained to the curb or
in cars will our canine friends have to wait
While owners leisurely sip wines
and dine on sumptuous fare
As disappointed and abandoned
barks and howls fill the air
AB 1965 has in our Assembly just
been passed to pet owners’ delight
No longer requires dogs to be kept
away in a parked car out of sight
Dogs in outdoor dining areas may
now with their owners dine
No more tails down, stressed out
dogs with excluded howls and whines
Why is this bill important in
ending the exodus of wealth to less regulated or taxed climes?
It will target the celebs famous
for promoting the joys of having a canine
We all know one of the icons of
the Five has Jasper as a pet
If he can enjoy dining here, New
York City, Dana Perino will quickly forget
She will start the first trickle
of wealth and creativity with canines moving into our state
Bringing job growth and more
revenue to add to our fiscal plate
nly one catch on a quick glance
to AB 1965 appears
That may muffle the ring of more
dollars into the dining cashiers
It applies only to dogs but not to
cats who would normally sit quietly on an owner’s lap
Maybe the reason is found in the
video of Tara the cat fending off a canine attack,
Saving a boy from more stitches
from vicious bites
Causing a much larger dog to run
off in terrified flight
Life in California may be a jungle
waiting for the next major quake
But soon dining outside also, surrounded
by dogs, cats, parrots, lizards and snakes?
Designer pet tags and flea collars
only from Rodeo Drive?
For Jasper and Dana, California
Senate approve AB 1965
