• OC Doggie Style: With Teeth

  As we raise our children, so we raise our pets. Today's Register contains a Greg Hardesty piece on National Dog Bite Prevention Week. Profiled is Klaudia Estrada, an Anaheim Hills mail carrier who has been twice bitten, one attack piercing the "tanned, smooth skin" of her right leg. Sounds like Hardesty wouldn't mind doing some piercing himself. Estrada was bitten once by a poodle, and once by a cocker-spaniel. Though she said it was "sort of embarrassing" to fall victim to such foofy dogs, keep

  Boy Scouts gone bad: Scouts execs had the OC chapter pick up a $27,000 bill for their trip to Key West - alcohol binge and all.

  iPhone or iFlop? Apple slashes $200 off the $599 8-Gig iPhone price tag. Christmas in September for some, and bah humbug for those who waited in line overnight...either way, investors are worried. Still...more...Martin: School trustee Harald Martin has resigned, but the anti-Martin camp still wants its signature-collecting to count for something (a special election to fill his seat, as we noted the other day). Yesterday, an Orange County Superior Court judge said the sigs would be counted, but

• Dogs! In clothes! In Long Beach!

  Dog lovers and cruel cackling people who like to dress their pets in degrading outfits and drag them around town gathered in Long Beach yesterday for the Haute Dogs 7th Annual Howl’oween Parade. Livingston Park and 2nd Street were overtaken by more than 600 costumed creatures and countless spectators, many armed with cameras to document the somewhat head-scratching spectacle. The day’s events started at 11 a.m. with a dog adoption fair that also featured specialized dog clothing, dog treats

• Wrongly Imprisoned OC Man Wins State Payment

  For Buena Park's James Ochoa, the indescribable agony of spending 16 months locked in the Orange County Jail and a California prison for crimes he did not commit is a bit less painful today. This afternoon, a state board in Sacramento voted 3 to 0 to award Ochoa nearly $30,000 in compensation in one of the final chapters of a bizarre law enforcement case. (Witnesses at the scene say board member Rosario Marin, a member of the governor's cabinet, argued against the payment but must have recorde

• The Most Blatant Case of False Advertising Since 'The Neverending Story'

  Look, I don't think it's too much to ask for an album called "Dog Tracks: Songs By Dogs" to feature, I dunno—songs by dogs? I was incredibly excited when the album came in the mail today. Who could blame me? Dogs are cool, I like music. It seems like a winning proposition. So imagine my horror when I popped the CD in and realized that is, in fact, a wholesale farce. The songs are actually by humans. Yeah, WTF, right? There are already plenty of albums by humans, a.k.a every other album in the

• Vladae the Russian Dog Trainer Gets His Sea Legs

  You've seen Vladae the World Famous Russian Dog Wizard on the KTLA Morning News, KNBC's Channel 4 News, and even Letterman. Since relocating here from Michigan, Vladae Roytapel has turned his uncanny canine communicating--he claims to speak fluent "Dogglish"--into "affordable" dog training in the homes of masters in Irvine, Anaheim, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach and elsewhere close by. But, as the The Log boating newspaper reports, Vladae has expanded to include seafaring pooches.

• Is That An Iguana in Your Leg, Or...

  When I began my search for a roommate two months ago, I had no idea of the caliber of people I would find on Long Beach Craigslist. There was the young woman with four stinking cats, the Jesus freak, the bipolar lady with tattoos on her face, and Jereme James, the one-legged construction worker. Faced with these options I chose to move in with Mr. James because the rent was cheap, the house was cute, I would get to keep all of my furniture and my dog would have a yard to play in. The first
