With this breaking news we have an update to the Florida Story of the week. Earlier I posted about the dog being shot and the dogs owner being charged however, a better story has come upon me. A woman (location not known) in Florida died while trying to unplug her TV from the outlet behind a bookcase. She became trapped and died. The family, all who live in the same house, had searched high and low for here for 11 days. On the 11th day the sister noticed a foot protruding from the bookcase. Upon inspection they found there sister. The best part of the article goes on to say this,
Unable to locate her after that, the family contacted the police, fearing she had been abducted. Her body was eventually discovered when her sister noticed a foot protruding behind the bookcase in her bedroom. I’m sleeping in the same house as her for 11 days, looking for her. And she’s right in the bedroom,” the woman’s mother, Connie Weber, told the St Petersburg Times newspaper.The family told the newspaper they had noticed a strange smell from her room but had blamed it on rats.
I guess people in Florida like to live with rats. You know they tell me at work “You do live in the tropics you know!” Click here for a link to the original article on the BBC, also on CNN
Yesterday a neighbor shot and killed his neighbors dog with a .22 because it kept jumping the fence and coming into his yard. He said he was just trying to protect his cat’s safety. Florida Animal Control was called and the dogs owner was ticketed for failure to keep a dog on their property. The guy who shot the dog was not ticketed. This is a great American Florida Story.
