Dog eats $400 in cash
A North Carolina family are attempting to retrieve $400 of cash swallowed by their dog.
Kelley Davis’ greater Swiss mountain dog, Augie, swallowed $400 cash she had left on her dresser table at home.
Since then Kelley, 42, and her family have been monitoring the dog’s toilet habits closely in order to retrieve as much of the lost money as possible.
A suitable time after swallowing the cash Kelley took Augie for a walk and in his droppings she found the remains of three $100 bills and five $20 notes.
She said: "I grabbed the garden hose and shouted ‘kids, get the colander’ – I’m out there panning for gold."
Davis has so far retrieved remnants of $160, which she is hoping to exchange for new bills.
US federal rules state a note can be replaced if more than 50 percent of a bill is identifiable.

Florist haunted by shop's history
A florist received an unwelcome surprise when the windows of her store misted up and revealed its past as a licensed sex shopEvery morning, large letters spelling out the store's previous function are clearly visible to passers by in Reigate, Surrey.
Clare Ross, who owns Willows flower shop with her mother, Shirley, said: "We have done everything we can to get rid of it but it just won't go.
"Every day it's back. I knew this place had been a sex shop but it was completely empty when we took it over. There were no signs of its past at all.
"Then suddenly these huge letters appeared in the morning condensation saying licensed sex shop above our Interflora sign." She sponged it away every morning only for it to come back the next day.
Ms Ross, 40, said: "We did everything we could to get rid of the ghostly letters that came back to haunt us. We had a professional cleaner in, tried lighter fluid, petrol, scouring pads. Nothing worked. The glue from the sticky lettering has seeped right into the glass and the history is locked away there.
"The only way to get rid of it would be to replace the whole window.

5th grade kids take field trip to boys' bathroom
Nothing silly happened this week when an entire fifth-grade class in Mill Valley boldly went into the boys' bathroom.The entire fifth-grade class, which includes those persons known as girls it was, after all, an official school field trip.
"I'm OK with this," said Chessy MacDonald. "It's just a bathroom."
They was accompanied by the best in the business, veteran Mill Valley plumber Stanley Searles, who had dropped by Room 2 at Park Elementary School carrying a genuine toilet tank for his fourth annual classroom visit to explain how toilets work.
And then it was time for the official field trip to the boys' bathroom. The class lined up and marched silently down the hall, the gravity of the situation bearing down on them. Some brought pencils, to take notes.
There was no giggling, because Room 2 is above all that and, besides, Mr. Martini's class is located next to the bathroom and Mr. Martini does not cotton to gigglers.
"Gather round," said Searles, opening the door to the stall and giving the toilet a flush. One boy noted that Mill Valley water swirls clockwise - which water only does in the Northern Hemisphere - but that it didn't really have anything to do with the actual operation of a toilet.
On the way out, the girls contemplated, some for the first time, that porcelain device found only in boys' and men's rooms. Some were jealous that boys get something in their bathrooms that girls don't get in theirs. Some rose above it.
"I'm OK with urinals," said Chessy. "It's just another kind of toilet. It makes things easier for boys, and boys need all the help they can get."
