Today may be the single greatest day of the year. It is officially the first day of Spring. March Madness is in full effect. NBA squads are making their push for the playoffs. Spring Training is booming and Opening Day in MLB is two weeks away. We are also six weeks away from the Kentucky Derby where the Pinkie squad hopes to see everyone gallavantin’ out and about in the Churchill infield.

Thought I’d take a quick moment to bring you two fascinating stories.

First up is Augie. Augie is a 2-year old greater Swiss mountain dog who lives in Apex, North Carolina. Apparently Augie was so anxious about the Tar Heels Tourney run, he mistook $400 in cash money for his dinner.

Kelley Davis said she had an extra $400 in cash to deposit after working extra hours as a physical therapist. She told the News & Observer of Raleigh that on Friday she planned to deposit the money, but it wasn’t in her pocket.

When she took Augie for a walk later on, she found parts of three $100 bills and five $20s in his leavings. She washed them with a garden hose in hopes to find enough pieces to exchange them for cash.

A professor at the North Carolina State University Veterinary School said the money shouldn’t hurt the dog. (Thank goodness)

Next up: Only in Malaysia!!!

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Police said a man shot his neighbor, mistaking her for a monkey as she was picking sapodilla fruit in his tree.

Yahaya Othman, police chief in eastern Pahang state, said the woman was gathering fruit Thursday when her neighbor shot her.

The man came home and saw rustling in the tree and fired into it, Yahaya said. “Then there was screaming … and only then did he know it was his neighbor.”

He said the woman was hospitalized with a wound to the abdomen but her condition was stable Friday.

He said police were investigating the man, a volunteer security corps member, for illegally discharging a firearm, which carries a maximum prison term of two years.
