Golden Treasures

Guarded by hundreds and thousands.

Stored in a labyrinth where no man walks,

Yet men come often to seize my gold.

By smoke I am overcome and robbed,

Then left to build my treasure anew.

Canadian Weatherman Presents Forecast With A Dog, Dog Completely Takes Over

They say you should never work with children or animals. Perhaps they should add 'weather presenters' to that list.



Because Ripple the rescue dog was brought on to, well, co-present the weather forecast with Mike Sobel on Global Edmonton - but things didn't exactly go smoothly.
