Cheese Tax Shirts
Dog-tested. Human-approved.
Open the fridge and a dog appears. That is the cheese tax, and in this house it is collected in full.
What is the cheese tax?
The cheese tax is the piece you owe your dog every time cheese comes out of the fridge. Nobody voted it in. There is no exemption form and no appeals process. The drawer slides open, a wet nose arrives at your hip, and the levy comes due before you have finished unwrapping anything.
It began as a running joke between dog owners and became one of the most quoted phrases in dog ownership, mostly because everyone who heard it recognized their own kitchen. If you have ever handed over a corner of cheddar just to end the staring, you have paid it.
Where did the cheese tax song come from?
The phrase spread through a short song that went around online and stuck immediately, because it named something dog people had been living with for years. The song gave the tax a name. The dogs had been collecting long before anyone wrote it down.
Who has to pay the cheese tax?
Everybody with a dog. Doodle owners pay at a higher rate. A goldendoodle can hear a cheese wrapper from two rooms away and will be sitting at your feet, fully composed, before you have located the knife.
