BFTB NETWoof News July 17, 2017

Bentley Basset Hound: “Greetings and thank you for joining us this week. We have rounded up some great reports so let’s get right to it. My co-anchor Pierre has our top story.”

Pierre Westie: “The BFTB NETWoof News top story will have us all feeling a little eel. That’s because a truck in Portland that was carrying 7,500 pounds of slime eels had to make a sudden stop which caused the freight to overturn. What happened next will give me the ‘willies’ for a month! The surrounding cars were covered in slime and eels! A total of 13 shipping containers destined for Korea ended up causing a four car pile-up. The highway was closed for several hours as crews cleaned up the mess.”

Bentley: “Did you know that some companies are allowing people a few days off after losing their pets. It is about time that they realized the death of a dog or cat can be just as heartbreaking as any other family passing. We salute the Mars Inc. and Trupanion Pet Insurance companies for being at the forefront of this new bereavement leave movement. Studies show that humans can grieve their pets for years but it can definitely help to have a few days off to come to grips with such a devastating loss. Have any of you taken time off work to grieve a pet?”

Pierre: “Let’s go from a love lost to a love found as we report on two dogs that have had a long-distance romance for over a year. Messy and Audi live across the street from each other in Thailand. When Audi would go out into the yard, he would cry and Messy would bark to him. Her barking seemed to calm him down so it became a regular occurrence. It just so happened that Audi escaped from his yard one day and ran straight over to see his girlfriend. When they finally met nose-to-nose, the two were seen hugging. True love always wins!”

Bentley: “Speaking of love, a mother goose recently lost her eggs to a small grass fire. The mom refused to leave her nest as the flames got ever closer. A Good Samaritan doused the fire but it was too late. Although she was saved, there was nothing that could be done for her eggs. She was taken to Back to the Wild Rescue and Rehab Center but was very sad. We all know that the world works in mysterious ways and a few weeks into her rehabilitation, six orphaned baby goslings were brought to the clinic. As soon as they were released into the wetlands habitat, the mother goose rounded them up and claimed them as her own.

  Now let’s check in with our favorite Weather Lab, Paisley and see if she loves this week’s forecast.”

Paisley the Weather Lab: “It is definitely going to feel like summer for most of us. Here in the south, it will be sunny and hot so don’t forget your sunscreen when you are out in the yard or at the beach. Traveling to the southwest, there will be high temperatures with a few scattered storms. The west coast can expect more heat and sun but the temperatures will be mild in the Pacific Northwest. Across our northern states, the temps will be high and accompanied by isolated thunderstorms. Those storms will make their way to the northeast later in the week. Most of the eastern states will be warm but Florida should prepare for a few pop-up storms. The center of the United States will be hot with lots of sunshine. As always, check with your local weather stations for updates or warnings.”

Bentley: “It sounds like a good time to enjoy the great outdoors. We are still looking forward to the details of your big cross-country move, Paisley. We have you scheduled for tomorrow so get busy writing!
