A Letter to My Dog, Half Pint

This last year may have been the worst one of my life, but at least I've got the world's two greatest dogs by my side to help me stagger into 2018. Today's post features a letter to Half Pint. Benjamin will be getting a letter later this week--he'd never let me hear the end of it, otherwise. Also, this posts features a lot of short video clips of Half Pint being silly. Since I apparently can't do anything right these days, they are exclusively shot in vertical mode. Please accept my apologies (and cut me some friggin' slack).

Weird Crime: Lend Me Your Ear & Last Month's Rent

In the early morning hours of Saturday, March 8 of 2014, 36-year-old Anthony Carusso got into an argument with his fairly attractive live-in girlfriend, 31-year-old Danielle Neblung. Their late night disagreement was allegedly over the rent for the apartment they shared.

Fights about money between couples can often turn pretty nasty, especially if one of them is mentally unstable. But judging from Danielle's Facebook page, the Detroit area makeup artists simply appears to be a quirky gal who really loves animals...even if this picture implies a bit of latent crazy within her.


Where is your god now?


That crazy came to the fore, however, when the late night fight between her and Anthony turned physical. When he tried to walk away from the altercation and into the bedroom, Danielle proceeded to repeatedly punch him in the face/head

After that failed to get his attention, however, she kicked things up a notch by jumping on on his back and biting off a portion of Anthony's left ear. Anthony, as you might expect, decided at that point to call the police. 

Officers arrived on the scene and found the rest of Anthony's ear, which paramedics were able reattach. Meanwhile, Danielle tried to claim that she was actually attacked first and simply defending herself. Her boyfriend's gnarly injuries, however, told an entirely different story.

Danielle Neblung was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. Her bond was set at $10,000 and she is due back in court on Monday, March 17

And even though Anthony Carusso's ear was reattached, it is still unknown if surgery will help make that a permanent condition. He is planning to ask prosecutors to lay the hammer down on Danielle, because no one likes getting Tysoned in the middle of the night.

enough to pull off a decent mugshot.
