Seattle Family May Lose House Over Barking Dog

Seattle -- He isn't a prized breed or a champion at the kennel club. He's just plain old Cawper, and he may cost his family more than $500,000.

"It's his birthday," said owner Denise Norton.

She came to the Problem Solvers for help and exposure for an issue she and her mother Ruth Clark don't understand.

"We're flabbergasted by it," Norton said.

Their north Seattle neighbor sued them over Cawper and his barking -- and won in court for nearly half a million dollars in the form of a default judgment.

Hypothermia and Your Pet

Hypothermia occurs when body temperature falls below normal. A normal temperature for a dog or cat is 100.5 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Hypothermia can be mild, moderate, or severe depending on how low the body temperature is. The most common cause of hypothermia is prolonged exposure to cold temperatures. Pets can also develop frostbite due to extreme cold. Illness and disease can also cause the body not to be able to regulate its temperature, which can also lead to hypothermia.
