Junk in the Trunk

Posted by on Tue, Sep 25, 2012 at 12:09 PM

A 28-year-old Woodinville woman and her 27-year-old fiancé were arrested during a speeding stop on I-405 in Bothell, after state troopers found a live dog locked in the trunk of their Nissan Sentra. Also, her three children, ages 5, 7, and 8.

But hey, who am I to judge somebody else's parenting philosophy?

@1 Actually...

Leary said the children were physically unharmed, but troopers fed them because the children said they hadn't eaten anything since the day before.

A LIVE DOG LOCKED IN THE TRUNK!

(Afterthought): Oh, and three children also

Three live children? Three live children locked in the trunk?

Strange writing style here Goldy.

@2 - "...state troopers found a live dog locked in the trunk..."

I stand by my statement.

Actually, the cops had to feed the kids because they hadn't eaten since the day before.

On the other hand, in extremis the dog did have food. I'm totally betting on the adult carnivore over the juvenile omnivores.

Also, not a complete sentence.

Sorry, I'm not usually a grammar nazi, but this post of yours really stuck me in the eye this time.

Don't they know you're supposed to keep the dog on the roof?

MacCroc, I was with you. Your humor did not go unnoticed.

You now know the value of the heterosexual marriage life style. Dogs and kids in the trunk, booze and cigarettes up front with Ma and Pa, the biological parents which are the best option for, um, for the booze and smokes.

Attention disobedient children: this is what happens when you "make" your parents "stop this car" and "come back there."

Jeez, I don't know what's with me lately. I love kids, but the dark humor beast demands to be fed -- with children, apparently.

@7 dogs are omnivores too. Just a guess but I think probably more children have eaten dogs than dogs have eaten children.

I've been told that black puppy soup is the thing for a winter cough.

@18 I know right!

If they'd had a married man around he could really just step up to the plate and kill them. Problem solved!
