Fiorella's never had a dog who ate her homework, but she now has one who's invalidated her credit card. Yes, Sonia applied her strong mastiff jaws to Fio's magic card, and it is now a miniature terrain of hills, valleys, and pits. In other words, it'll never slide through a card reader again so your Fio is reduced to writing checks till the new card arrives.
How weird. Fiorella, who scoffed at the prediction that folding money would become obsolete and plastic become the new new legal tender, is now party to the process. She loves being able to prance into a store with nothing but a card in her paw and pay for whatever she needs with a single swipe. Of course, it's more commit than pay--Fio has to write an old-fashioned check the next month to keep the credit card bank largesse flowing. On the other hand, she gets "benefits" from each dime she spends and hasn't paid for air travel for years.
Viva la brave, new world.
