The Chow has been the culprit in both killings and my SIL doesn't believe that he could move fast enough to catch a cat because he is old and has arthritis.

Not true. We had a chow years ago and he was quite the actor. He would limp when he knew you were watching but moved like lightning when he didn't think you were.

This dog is the same way. He sneaks up with his limp so the cats are caught off gaurd, thinking they have plenty of time to get away if needed, then he pounces.

I don't think there will be a penalty assessed as long as you file on time, but they will charge interest with a payment plan. I would recommend that you go ahead and send anything that you can when you file. The web site I was making payments through (this was a couple of years ago) was www.eftps.com, so you may find some useful information there. I don't remember exactly how we went about setting it up originally, but we had not filed for two years in a row and so owed penalties and interest in addition to the original amount.

very expensive but value added to home...sm
Lumber Liquidators for the bamboo and we needed 1400 s.f. and then to pay 2 men to install that and the cork backing...it was V_E_R_Y expensive but added about $25-$30G value to the home I do believe (was done a few years ago); besides the fact it is absolutely gorgeous and not difficult to take care of...but it's shoes off!

I worked for them for a short time and line counts never added up. sm
Check the archives. I proved I was cheated lines and quit without notice. They were taking my spaces, cutting them in half and only paying that amount of lines even though required to double space after periods, etc. Software was comparable to Ext. This was 2-3 years ago though.

Added fresh chives today. to the egg today.
and a SMIDGE of soy sauce.
