Missing Money Around the House? Check With Your Dog

Have some missing money that you can't find in the house? You might want to check with your dog.

Who hasn't heard the "the dog ate my homework" excuse?

But when it comes to missing money, probably the last thing you're thinking is, "the dog ate my money."

Either way, maybe you should check the dog's bowl just to be sure.

ANNOUNCER - Time now for WDHA's Weird News with Michael Fuzzy Lee.

FUZZY - Today in Weird News, a Pittsburgh family was having work done in their home and left an envelope containing $4,000 in cash on the kitchen counter to pay for it.

They walked out of the kitchen and returned 30 minutes later to find that their seven-year-old Golden Doodle Cecil had eaten the cash, about $2,000 of it.

The rest of it was found chewed up on the floor.

AUDIO - Well, that sucks.

And that's one reason I don't own a dog. They eat just about everything.

My advice? Just invest in a pet sponge. They don't have mouths or expensive taste.  Just leave it in the fish tank and use your uneaten money to buy a Guinness beer for yourself and shamrock-a-ritas for your lady friend.

St. Patrick's Day is coming up.  You'll want to spend it on the important stuff.  That's what I say.

AUDIO - That's good advice.

Also, in Weird News, a Georgia man from Cherokee County who lives next door to a wedding venue has a history of making threats to those who attend events there.

A wedding had just concluded and the bride and groom boarded a helicopter.  When it took off, witnesses say they heard a fireworks shoot off and explode in close proximity to the chopper.

I do have recorded audio I obtained from someone on board who was close to the bride when this happened, so let's roll the clip.

Yeah, I agree.  She ain't taking crap from anyone and she's packing her own heat too to her own wedding.  I'm impressed.

Hey, that was pretty good for Rambo.

And lastly in Weird News, a stingray residing at the aquarium in North Carolina has been a real freak in the tank, but no one can figure out with whom.

Charlotte is the only stingray in the tank who also happens to be pregnant.

Workers at Team Ecco Aquarium and Shark Lab in North Carolina are completely stumped.  Charlotte has never been in a tank with another stingray, but does share it with a couple of white-spotted bamboo sharks named Larry and Mo.

One possible explanation is that Charlotte somehow made sweet inter-species love with one of the sharks, or she impregnated herself.

Geez, you walk away from a fish tank for one quick second and bam, you're pregnant.  Going to the aquarium is supposed to be a fun family trip.

Now Team Echo's got to call Maury Povich and get him involved for DNA testing because Charlotte's stingray is a floozy.  What's this world coming to?

And that's DHA's Weird News.

It's Terrie "Dog Lover" Carr and recently I have been reading up on the benefits of having dogs in the workplace.
I have always been a proponent of "Pet Productivity" meaning the station offices always seemed more happy and productive when pets were around. I remember when I hired Matt Murray as our night talent waaaay back when and encouraged him to bring his newly adopted pup "Austin" in any time to keep him company while he was on the air.
Oh, and when Scotty B came in for his first training session he brought multiple Basset Hounds in to help! (I loved it).

It has long been said that dogs on the workplace reduce stress, increase team building and morale, and encourage more productivity. According to the American Heart Association they help "bring calm and productivity" -

WDHA is a fun environment to work in. Music, loudmouths, and of course DOGS that come in to be filmed and recorded for our WDHA Rock N' Ruff program every week. In fact, the station has an entire room set up for the pups where toys, bowls, and treats await them. We also have an animal-loving staff for sure. So many staffers have dogs. Jim, Me, Mike Anthony, Scotty, Swendy.....we love our pups! Many of us also bring our dogs to work on occasion as do our co-workers in sales and other departments. Personally, I LOVE it when there is a dog at the station. It makes me happy. I can't describe it, but it does. Dogs are truly magical creatures. Dogs have taught me so much about life and the simple things. They give us so much. Some of our dogs make more "frequent" station visits and are "regulars" at WDHA. Meet them below!

Dogs Rule!
Terrie (and Rosie) Carr

Flash and Chris are best friends. I rarely see one without the other.
When Chris is at WDHA you can be certain his rescue pup Flash is not far behind. Flash is a perfect station dog in the office. He is a very quiet, gentle fella and goes with the flow. Flash can sit in on an important corporate meeting and you will never know he's there. In fact, I think Flash actually knows he "works" for us. He's always ready- He has attended WDHA Parking Lot Parties and met Rock N' Ruff dogs. He knows the drill! And helps calm us down when he's at WDHA for sure. You can hear his dog tags clinking through the halls right behind Chris!

Sam (named after the red rocker Sammy Hagar) is a 90 pound comedian!
When he comes to WDHA we never know what's going to happen! Sammy is the pup of one of our sales staff members- Valerie Freda and was adopted from the Denville Animal Shelter the Valerie saw him on their Facebook page and fell in love with his gorgeous face and sad story, being abandoned and hungry...Well...Sam is not hungry anymore! Lol....He is usually in the studio with me when he visits, getting treats, bringing me his toys and looking for love. He's a GIANT teddy bear. He also attends many WDHA events, like our Yappy Hours and adoption day events and always tries to make friends with my dog Rosie Carr, but she barks in his face all the time! Sam doesn't care......he keeps trying....I just love him.

My love, Rosie Carr THINKS WDHA is her turf! Funny, because Rosie has been visiting the station since she is 6 weeks old as she and her litter dropped by with Meredith from the Denville Animal Shelter to socialize with our staff. Of course I fell in love. Look at her!
Rosie has a bed, toys and all of her "doggie stuff" in my office and has slept at the station with me during various storms and loves being there. She adores her WDHA family, especially Jim Monaghan who she races into the studio to see whenever she arrives. We literally have to go to every office in the building, say hi to all of her friends and THEN she settles in the studio for my radio show. I love having her with me. But...be warned....she can be loud!

Mike Anthony and his family adopted Jingle from OSCAR at WDHA's Home For The Howlidays event at Dover Dodge a few years back, and when Jingle visits he is SUCH A GOOD BOY!
Mike is not only our afternoon host, but also our Production Director for BOTH WDHA and our sister station, WMTR and is super busy in his own studio all day.
We all have to pop in to record things with Mike, and when Jingle is there we are far more anxious to work! I love popping in, petting him and hanging with him. Jingle is such a chill pup. This photo was taken with me and Jingle at a WDHA station event. He's a great drinking partner too!
