But you can call her Kate.

I made it official today. Kate is now a legal resident of New York State. I walked across the street to the Poughkeepsie City Hall and got a license for her. Took all of 10 minutes and $7 (she's spayed, you know).

Yes, I know I moved to back to the state in January. Mea culpa. But at least I licensed her.

Initial licenses have to be done in person, with proof of rabies vaccination. In our case, the license will have to be renewed in May when Kate's rabies shot expires.

Subsequent renewals can be done by mail with a copy of the rabies certificate sent along as well. Couldn't be easier.

So if you haven't licensed your dog, do it soon.
