What A Cute Puppy...

Or not. How strong are those jaws to puncture tires?

HOPE MILLS, N.C. 

This isn't another dog-bites-man story. This is a dog-bites-the-deputy's-tires story.

The Fayetteville Observer reported that the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office said a pit bull deflated all four tires of a deputy's cruiser near Hope Mills on Sunday. Sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Tanna says the deputy parked his car in a woman's driveway while responding to her complaint about another dog.

Tanna says that when Deputy Lynn Lavallis went to speak with Gloria Bass, her dog bit the four tires. The dog didn't attack the deputy.

Tanna says Bass will be billed for the $500 that the new tires cost.

 

I Am Afraid. Very Afraid.

Every year, my brother and his wife host a crab feast at their place. usually for 30-40 folks. Until this year, it was on Labor Day Sunday, but this year they're giving Saturday a try. And, well, yikes. Almost no one has turned them down. The attendance as of this morning: 72 people. Seventy. Two. With another 30+ maybe attendees. Where the heck will everyone park? Sit? One bathroom for all these people? More than half of them are kids, and over 30 of those are aged 6 or less. I'm packing earplugs. May need a suit of armor. I hear rumors that their cat has already fled the county in anticpation. For myself...I bought little chocolate crabs for those who don't eat crabs. I thought 18 would be plenty. Back to the candy shoppe with me, it appears. Meep.
