Harvey the trampolining dog found

A dog named Harvey who used a trampoline to escape over a garden fence has been reunited with his owners.
Harvey disappeared from the back garden on Friday
The black and white Staffordshire Bull Terrier pulled off the stunt to bound to freedom at noon on Friday.
But after this week's publicity, his owner Laura Kidson, 27, received a call from the RSPCA on Tuesday night to say Harvey had been handed in to them at the weekend.
He has now been reunited with Miss Kidson, her four year old daughter Chloe and nine month old son Cole, who had been pining for him, at their home in York.

Miss Kidson, who works as a dispenser at Boots pharmacy, said: "We're delighted that he's back safe and well, but we're going to try and keep him off the trampoline from now on."
Three year old Harvey often joined the children and their other dog a Boxer puppy called Roxanne bouncing on the equipment in their garden.
Miss Kidson said: "The fence isn't all that high, but he couldn't get over it on his own and must have used the trampoline to bounce himself into my neighbour's garden and got out.
"He's something of an escape artist and he has got out before, but not for a long time and we were just starting to think he's stopped all that."

£90,454,217 electricity bill

Alison Turner knew fuel costs were rising fast, but she still got a massive shock when she opened her latest bill. To run up the £90,454,217 bill the mother-of-two would have had to leave the lights on continuously for 1900 years.
An Npower spokesman said: "We have systems to ensure these errors are not made, so I'm at a loss to say why this happened. "We take customers' bills very seriously and we will look into this mistake to see what has gone wrong."

You thought you are paying a lot for gas

A Devon petrol station which charged £1.99 a litre for petrol has dropped its prices after coming under fire for cashing in on fuel shortages.
Foxhayes garage at Exwick, near Exeter, was charging the equivalent of more than £9 a gallon on Monday, saying it wanted to conserve stocks.
Fuel price watchdogs slammed the increase as "inexcusable".
And on Tuesday the price had dropped to £1.20 a litre for petrol and £1.36 for diesel, with a maximum £5 spend.
A member of staff at the garage told BBC News: "It got a bit extreme. I heard on the radio that we were more vilified than George Bush."
The woman, who did not want to be named, said motorists had been "quite pleasant" despite the rise in prices.
"Some taxi drivers were upset because they did not see the price before they filled up."

Beehives could send woman to jail

A Denver woman said it is unfair city officials ordered her to remove three beehives from her backyard or face a $999 fine and a possible year behind bars.
Marygael Meister paid $1,500 to set up the hives in her yard after completing courses about the insects at Denver Botanic Gardens.
Meister said she got a notice from city officials this week that she is breaking the law by keeping bees in her yard.
Meister said she received a beekeeping certification after finishing the botanic gardens courses and the insects aren't hurting anything.
"Bees harm nothing that lives. They just take nectar from the flowers. They don't kill the flowers. They just help more to grow," she said.

Well you did tell him to sit didn't you?
