Just Say No to Dogs

FARMINGTON, Conn. (AP) - A Burlington woman has been charged with trying to get painkillers from a drug store by using her dog’s name. Kymberly Smith, 38, faces more than two dozen charges related to her alleged repeated attempts to fraudulently obtain painkillers at a Farmington pharmacy under her dog’s name.

Police said Smith is charged with using her dog Zack’s name to get Hydrocodone, which is marketed under several names including Vicodin.

Police’s first clue; why would a dog need Vicodin? If Fido needs something to calm him down, that’s what the toilet is for.

The story goes on to report that she was caught by police earlier for the same crime, except then she tried to obtain drugs under the name Mr. Bigglesworth.

Man, I just hope, for her sake, that she never crosses paths with McGruff. If so, crime won’t be the only thing he takes a bite out of.
