wcco.com – Teen’s Admirer Arrested For Dog Beheading

(AP) St. Paul A 24-year-old man who may have wanted to be the boyfriend of a 17-year-old St. Paul girl was arrested Thursday on suspicion of beheading the girl’s dog and sending its head to her in a gift-wrapped box.

The whole story is screaming to be made into a Law and Order episode.

edit: KARE 11 also posted a story about this here.

...in that it is expensive to take care of one.

Today (or Thursday, rather), I took the lone car to the mechanic and dropped roughly $320 for an oil change, a check for a leak, and replacing transmission fluid lines. I was also there for 4 hours. Fortunately for me, I brought the new purse along and sewed a longer strap to it with fishing line.

I fear that there will be a repeat of last year, when I sink over a grand into a car, just to have it need about $3k more in work, and is better off being turned into a pop can than fixed.

Good [diety], I can not deal with anymore car issues. Give me something else to work on.

Now to bed.
