Default Pretty funny situation

Hey everyone, I have a pretty funny situation to share.

I am at my parents house in Minnesota for Memorial Day weekend. Anyway, I was hanging out with my sister in the kitchen and the home phone rings. I answer and some credit card telemarketer asks "Is Oliver available?"

I say "Who?"

"Oliver. Is Oliver available?"

"Um Oliver is our dog..."

"Oh I am sorry about that! But while I have you on the phone..."

Then I hung up. But yeah a credit card telemarketer asking for the dog. It is pretty funny how credit card companies get their leads if they trying to sell to dogs and dead people. I believe we've actually got mail offers for the dog lol

Ha-ha.

My old beagle, Spot, would have run up a huge CC bill buying at Omaha Steaks. He was irresponsible, so I would not let him have a CC.

Sign him up for a new credit card.

Barking confirms that he's breathing - and therefore preapproved for a $15k credit line with Capital One!
