An amateur veterinarian's failed attempt to neuter a friend's schnauzer became a police matter when the owner took the dog in for emergency treatment. Hung Doc Vu, 49, of Des Moines, Iowa, was issued a misdemeanor citation for improper care and treatment of animals. Police said Vu attempted the sterilization procedure August 2nd on Shelly Shannon's dog Pooper. It was reported to police two days later and animal control officers were brought in. They said one testicle had been removed with a razor blade during the home procedure but the other had not been. Vu admitted that he attempted to neuter the dog and had not used pain medication, officials said. Officials said Vu told them he had been taught the procedure by his father and grandfather. State Veterinarian David Schmitt said Iowa law allows home castration of livestock but not household pets. He said such reports are rare.

For Andy Griggs, who turns 35 today, the turning point in his life when he became a youth pastor. He says, "I don't why the pastor of this church asked me to do that.

Andy explains that working with the kids helped him to come to terms with the death of his brother
Keith Urban has a huge fan in Glen Campbell. Glen told TheBoot-dot-com, that he met Keith more than 30 years ago. He says, "When I first met him, he came to my concert in Australia. He was about eight years old and he said, 'Mr. Campbell, when I grow up I'm gonna play guitar and sing.' And look at him.

Glen will be releasing a new album, Meet Glen Campbell, next Tuesday.
