This was supposed to get the Canadian Happy Birthday stamp in April, then the U.S. stamp in June. Something went awry, and the wrong Canadian stamp and cancel were used. But it is a Year of the Dog Dragon Card. Replacements have been submitted, but I'd like to recover some of my loss. Maybe your dog has a birthday in January? They're $1.50 each.
