Even though I'm the Credit Card Queen from WA...

I learned something new RE: credit cards. As the story goes Daughter has a 70+# 7 6 1/2 month old Alaskan Malanute---( He's growing as fast as our Saint did---huge) Well, I was Dising on the internet a couple of evenings ago---and low and behold the dog got my credit card pocketbook off the table ( just like a kid---when they are quiet--unless they are asleep ---they are usually up to something. He ate my pocketbook and 2 of my major credit cards. Left the Drivers license, calling card, American express, SS card ...it was like he knew which cards I generally used and pulled those out. Did I tell you he was being really quiet.... Now I panic--- less than a week and I fly out.....call both card companies and find out as long as you know where the card is----dogs stomach---they will issue you a new card which is deliverd over night----- best there is no charge---this is a service of the cc company. Dale said it was because I use it so much Ha! Ha!. Dog ate card on Sat--Had the Discover monday morning Visa just came this morning. Let me tell you I charge everything----( I pay it off every month--so I use there money for 25 days and I have a complete record of where my money goes) I even charge groceries.....It's cute how the next person in line looks at me like---Don't you even have money for food----- I guess it's OK charge clothes but not food-----I just leave 'em guessing.......

Just thought I'd share my weekend-----Oh, and the dog isn't feeling very good---but I really doubt if he's learned his lesson.

Poor doggy. Glad you got your new cards so quickly.

I use my Amex for everything, even groceries

Whew!! Glad that worked out ok Patty! Well, except for the dog, so far.

And nowadays, who knows if you're using a credit or debit card anyway? It's no one's business.

I will admit though, that back in the 'old' days when it was credit card only (non-debit), I did think once or twice about people who charged their groceries but, like I said, that was in the OLD DAYS!!! Like 6-7 years ago. When times change, they change mighty fast!
