Hearing a story like this is just one of the many reasons why I’m proud that catching fireflies supports our local humane society. I first heard about Dewey on one of my favorite shows, CBS Sunday Morning and couldn’t help to think of our very own Berkley store cat, Piper.

So next time you you swing by our Berkley location, be sure to .

While Steve was flipping through the plethora of cable channels in our hotel room this evening, he made the fatal stop at TMZ (if you can even really call that a show).  I couldn’t help to be distracted by this bizarre little monkey that rides a sheep dog at rodeos in Texas.  Right or wrong, this little dude is quite funny.  Check him out in action… Ride-em Cow-monkey!
