Former KVBC TV Weatherman John Fredericks Is One Scary Dog Lover! Stalker Too!

I find TV personality stories of interest to readers, and this John Fredericks dog story is especially scary. Fredericks, a former TV weathercaster in Vegas for KVBC Channel- was seeking a soul mate on a Afroromance.com. He found someone who had a dog- and they hit it off over the phone....after that the weirdness began.  It could be the case of man who can't handle rejection...or it could be more.

VA SPCA Exec Robin Starr's Dog Louie Dies After Locked in Car For Four Hours!

This story is sad. An SPCA exec left forgot she left her friggin' dog in her car...and the beloved pet (who was blind and deaf) died after being in the car for 4 hours. Robin Starr is saying her husband put "Louie" in the car, as she usually takes the canine to work, but for some reason- she didn't realize he was in the car that day. Louie died of Kidney failure. Starr has been with the SPCA since 1997, and no charges have been filed yet.  For the record- Starr was a very vocal critic of Michael Vick and his dogfighting crimes.  Note the link comments are quite vocal on this.  What's your take?  Comment Below

Plants & Planters Install Security Cam to Catch Thief! It's a Monkey!

A string of plant thefts at the Richardson TX Plants & Planters store saw the owner install a security cam, hoping to catch the thief in the act. Much to the surprise of everyone, after the last theft, the thief turned out to be a monkey, who would pick up the plants and pass them over the fence. No charges will be filed against the monkey. Maybe he was looking for a little foilage where he lived?
