also serves as a reminder of discrimination against minorities around the world. pride celebration kicked off yesterday with one of the largest gatherings of transgendered people in the world. it was a sea of color. thousands of transgendered men and women marched from lawrence park at city hall, wanting to show other transgendered people that they are not alone. >> this is like one of the biggest gatherings of transgender people, like anywhere in the world i think. it's pretty magical. >> festivities will continue throughout the weekend, of course, and you can go to cbssf.com to get all of your pride weekend events in full. lot of folks in town for that. san jose is turning to the feds for help in stopping what has been a surge of gang killings there. >> if you're a law-abiding citizen, we're not interested in your status. however, if you're causing grief in our community and you're a gang member, we'll use

whatever resource we to, to bring you to justice. >> even though gang murders are up, the city is planning on laying off 100 officers next week, as police say they will definitely need the help from the feds. two federal agents will be funded by and will report to immigrations and customs enforcement, which have some people a little skeptical. the chief insists this is not a witch hunt for illegal immigrants. a man honored for his colorful murals in bay area schools is now accused of embedding pornographic material in his work. anthony norris was arrested by the fbi last month and accused of possessing child pornography. as the founder and director of kids serve, he worked with school children to create outdoor murals. but after his arrest, school district teams found what they called offensive images in his murals at four schools. >> the negative of a photograph that is inlaid behind the clear

tile itself, they are maybe taken -- maybe could be construed as offensive, some may not. some of the tiles are actually drawings. >> so some of the tiles have been taken down and turned over to the fbi. police say offensive tiles were also removed at elementary schools in san rafael, mill valley, and oakland. one of the best known sex offenders in northern california just returned to the bay area. carey shand letter verse was released earlier this week with no conditions and has moved back into the community of bay point in the east bay. officers went door to door to over 1500 homes to make sure everyone in the community was aware he is now one of 17 sex offenders in the neighborhood. some people there wonder why they were not warned about the others as well. >> soliciting one guy, telling us about one guy, they should have been telling us about all of them. >> verse's attorney says there is no threat in that the door- to-door blitz amounts to harassment.

but it was actually well within meghan's law, which states that police can take whatever means necessary to inform the public. a conference on fighting terrorism is going on this weekend in iran, a countrywidely viewed to be a state sponsor of terror. iran's president met yet in tehran with counterparts from afghanistan and pakistan. in public comments, they talked about cooperation among muslim countries in the middle east. next week, the greek parliament will vote on a $40 billion austerity plan. a yes vote will ensure greece will receive another round of emergency loans to avoid defaulting on its debt. so if those cuts are not passed, economists say a greek default could wreak havoc on europe's banks, sending the euro tumbling against the dollar. that would hurt u.s. exports by making american goods more expensive for europeans. in north dakota, the city of minot is bracing for more rain, as a major river hits its high point this weekend. the souris river has already

cheeers!! welcome back. 8:13. jim has a closer look at our weather forecast today. spring, summer, whatever you want to call it, it's going to be nice. >> indeed, we're back to near normal conditions here. lots of sunshine across mount vaca. looking back towards the bay, you see low clouds and fog hanging in there, a bit of haze around the behlingering through the day. we'll see the fog lift. however, temperatures slightly cooler today than we have been all week. we'll see low 80s for the interior. again, we do have flood advisories up, yosemite and south, looking at higher water levels down there. the rivers will likely flood in that region in this type of high water condition will continue for the next several

weeks, as they are letting out a lot of water from the reservoirs up in the foothills. so again, we will be looking at these conditions for several weeks to come, as the water continues to run high, fast and cold in the rivers around the foothills, into the central valley. taking a look, again, at our forecast for today, we'll see partly cloudy skies here by midmorning, as again, an onshore breeze has returned to the bay area. kind of a summer pattern here. low clouds and fog are back with us after a nice warmup this week, looking for the coast aloe clouds to continue. slightly cooler conditions expected today, and little bumps tomorrow, but nothing dramatic as we will stay on the cool side here through midweek and we've even got a chance of showers showing up in the forecast here for tuesday, into wednesday. okay. slight chance, but this is the end of our rainfall season, so that's pretty rare to be looking at rain this time of year. fog, not so rare, as you would expect this time of year, we will continue to see it clear out through midday, as the

onshore push continues. there will be a cooling trend as a result of that. we'll look for upper 70s, pushing the low 80s across the interior here for today. back to the bay, upper 60s to low 70s. and on the peninsula, looks like mid to low 60s for highs today, with, again, the expectation for the possibility of some rain to add to the totals where we are already this season. keep in mind, the rainfall year ends the end of june and we're at 128% of normal. we could pick up a little bit of rain on tuesday, into wednesday, as the weak disturbance -- well, a little stronger than normal for this time of year. could bring showers into the north bay, mainly a few sprinkles in the bay possible with even isolated thunderstorm potential out there through midweek. that would mainly be across the interior. as we see this cooling trend picking up again by midweek, then we'll reverse course, come next weekend, warming back into the mid to low 80s. a little bump tomorrow, as we'll look for more sunshine after the morning low clouds

and fog burns off. so a classic weather pattern setting up for us. looks like temperatures near normal. >> okay, yeah, sunday and monday looking pretty sweet. thanks, jim. [ cheers & applause ] >> means that all of my friends can finally do the thing that they wanted to do, that i can do. it means that we're equal. celebrating a new reality in new york. that's where lawmakers legalized same-sex marriages. in about a month, same-sex couples will be allowed to tie the knot in new york. today, tens of thousands here in the bay area, celebrating gay pride in san francisco. this weekend marks the 41st anniversary of the pride parade. the winner of top chef is one of the grand marshals. he joins us live this morning with more on the weekend's events. good morning. >> good morning. >> and congratulations on your big win! >> thank you, thank you. >> that's huge. san francisco native, the first to win a top chef contestant. >> made my city proud. >> fabulous.

on your screen. that's being unveiled today, by the way. >> this pink triangle is a symbol. during the holocaust, it was a symbol for prosecution for the prisoners who were gay or lesbian, and the symbol was actually bigger than any of the other symbols for the jewish people. they were prosecuted. and the gay community has taken that and used that as a symbol of pride, so it's really made a 360. it's also a reminder that the community around the country and still around the world is still being prosecuted, so the fight's not over. it goes to show there are great strides to be made. >> that's obviously a serious message, but we can poke fun. tell us one of your favorite things. >> pride is really a good time for a lot of people to come together. last year, they had something like 1.5 million people come into san francisco for that. it's just a celebration of diversity and our commonnalties and recognizing we're all human. that's all it takes to get along. >> tell me about the role of people who are not gay, but

still come out and enjoy the festivities. >> that's actually a really good point. i think in our fight, our biggest advocate i think is a straight community. gay and lesbian people know what they want, butt recognition from the straight community and knowing that this is just common human liberties and to fight for that, that's priceless. i'm always very thankful for that. >> you'll be at the pride tomorrow, as grand marshall. >> i'll be one of the grand marshals. >> what time does the parade begin, by the way? >> i believe 10:00. let's talk a little bit about top chef. you were on last season, and now you'll open a new pastry shop. tell us about that. >> it's going to be called top sweet, french pastries, an american take. desserts always brings love into everyone's heart, through my experience. i'm going to be making people happy one macaroon at a time. >> fabulous. that will be open -- we're taking a look at footage from the show. what is your specialty? what do you think will be the

big seller at the shop? >> i just really make delicious desserts. i can't pick between any of them. it would be like picking one of my children! you have to come and try them all. >> tell me, how are you not fat? >> have you seen the hills in san francisco? all that biking, that burns it off! >> all right. well, you're a winner and you're not fat and you're making desserts. you know, what a guy! thank you for that. >> thank you very much. >> we're looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at the big parade. you can watch the special ceremony for the triangle at twin peaks later this morning. you can find more information on the pride event at our website, cbssf.com. coming up, the giants activate the pitcher who makes more money than anyone else on the team. and on the field, will san francisco mount a successful comeback against the cleveland indians? we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,

help regain momentum for the movement, as similar bills failed to pass in other states, including right here in california. that fight continues. marriages can begin in new york in 30 days. pride celebrations kicked off yesterday with one of the largest gatherings of transgendered people in the world. it was a sea of color and thousands of transgendered men and women marched from delores park to city hall, wanting to show transgendered people they are not alone. some feel they are marginalized in the community. when asked about new york city's vote to legalize same- sex marriage, most of the responses were actually lukewarm. >> gay marriage uses up most of the resources for gay and trans activism. >> with politics aside, they marched on together with pride. festivities will continue through the weekend and you can go to cbssf.com to get all of your pride weekend events information. who pays the governor's rent? not the governor, apparently. we're learning it's been that way for decades.

private contributions have paid for governor brown's sacramento $3000 a month apartment. there's a nonprofit that takes donations to pay for the governor's living expenses. brown's spokesperson says governors since ronald reagan have been tapping into the fund, everyone except governor brown. he was so frugal about his inauguration ceremony, he had 39,000 in contribution funds left over. >> he took excess funds that were left over from the inaugural fund and put them into the governor's residence foundation, basically erasing the need. >> i don't see the need to pay my rent. he's getting 165 grand a year. let him pay for his own damn place. >> at $3000, governor brown's rent is cheaper than at the penthouse at the hyatt where governor schwarzenegger paid. that cost about $8000 per month. a new report shows americans are disappointed that the head of the federal reserve plus european investors are monitoring a key vote in the greek parliament next month.

alexis cristoferus has more from new york. >> reporter: ben bernanke's approval rating is at a two- year low at 31%, compared to 41% two years ago. 55% of those polled expect their children to have a lower standard of living than they have. on wall street, stocks will try to snap a three-day losing streak. on friday, the dow tumbled 115 points. the nasdaq lost about 34. the greek parliament will vote this week on a $40 billion, five-year austerity plan. a yes vote will ensure greece will receive another round of emergency loans to avoid defaulting on its debt. if the cuts are not passed, economists say a greek default would wreak havoc on europe's banks and send the euro tumbling against the dollar. that would hurt u.s. exports by making american-made goods more expensive for europeans. and the government is taking a closer look at companies that run many school

cafeterias. the department of agriculture watch dog arm will audit the food service companies later this summer. they want to make sure they are not overcharging the school districts they work for. the audit comes one year after a french company agreed to pay $20 million to settle allegations it overcharged 21 school districts and the state university of new york. for more, head to cbsmoneywatch.com. in new york, i'm alexis cristoferus. this morning, the duke and duchess of cambridge honored the irish guard with the afghanistan medal. prince william wearing his military uniform, as he addressed military members. the irish guard just got back from a six-month tour in afghanistan. catharine looking fabulous, as usual. jim, looks like the weather is looking fabulous here. >> fabulous, absolutely. our heat wave is over now, temperatures returning to normal, if not a little below normal for this time of year. lots of low clouds and fog linger around the bay. we'll look for sunshine, coming up next. also coming up, the

barry bonds was back in a san francisco federal court this 8:41. lot of people in town this weekend, not only for pride, but i was walking around union square yesterday and it was packed. >> it's the season. fog season is back this morning, cooling things down around the bay. temperatures slightly below normal here, as the clouds are pervasive out there throughout the bay. they will clear through the morning here. we'll look for sunshine at the bay by midday, again, around the beach. staying fuzzy most of the day, as temperatures will warm slightly tomorrow, but we're

just talking a degree or two. nothing dramatic here, after a nice warmup this week. we see temperatures returning to near normal as the marine layer is back with us, entrenched on top of the golden gate bridge this morning. let's take a look at the flood advisories up right now for the san joaquin valley and the foothills of the sierra, yosemite south. we saw a lot of rapid snow melt this week, resulting in very high waters. reservoirs are letting waters out, which means river levels are high, running fast and cold. so dangerous conditions exist in and around the rivers and the foothills here for the next several weeks before things settle down from the looks of things. again, after record snowfall here, you would expect a big spring snow melt and that's indeed what we're looking at into the beginning of summer. mostly sunny across the interior. temperatures headed to the upper 70s to low 80s, partly cloudy around the bay by this afternoon. we'll see a little sunshine working its way out for most of the bay. at the beach, i think they will

stay pretty fuzzy through the day, as the fog will retreat a bit, probably not clear out. temperatures in the mid to low 60s there. weak disturbance crossing to our north, as you begin to see the center of circulation here. it is bringing back the onshore push across the region, which of course creates the fog and the low clouds, which will linger along the coastline and result in slightly cooler temperatures for today. a little bump tomorrow and we'll cool down again through midweek, as another disturbance drops into central california, bringing with it a chance of some rain showers here late in the season. we'll look for the fog to retreat to the beach here through the day today, as you would expect, with temperatures out across the interior in the upper 70s to low 80s for highs today. quite a drop from where we were here midweek, as we'll see upper 60s to low 70s in the east bay hills. back on the peninsula, towards the beach, into the mid-60s to upper 50s, where the fog will linger right along the

shoreline, likely through the day today and into tomorrow. again, we are approaching the end of our rainfall year. june is the official end of the season. we're at 128% of normal, thereabouts for most of the bay area. san jose at 99% right now. believe it or not, we're talking about a chance of measurable rain tuesday night into wednesday, with the potential for some thunderstorm activity. it's going to be pretty light, if anything at all. but even the mention of rain this time of year is pretty rare in and of itself. as we see low clouds and fog this weekend, a little bump in temperatures tomorrow. clouds increase through midweek. here comes the chance of showers i mentioned tuesday into wednesday, mainly across the north bay, will not be a big weather maker for us. but it is unusual this time of year to see anything like this. we may pick up a couple more drops of rain to add to those rainfall totals. we just looked, into july 1st, been a very productive year. second year above normal in a row, probably due to the la

nina pattern more than anything else. and for the game this afternoon at 1:10, we'll be looking for mid-60s at the bay and temperatures, again, skies clearing slowly through the morning here. >> mostly sunny for game time. sounds good. what about the fact there's rain in the forecast? that's kind of bizarre. >> that is rare. typically don't see rain in june, other than drizzle, because it's our drought time of year, but there it is. most of it will be north. just the fact it's there is pretty rare. >> all right. we'll keep an eye on it. thank you, jim. barry bonds back in san francisco federal court this week. the judge gave prosecutors more time to decide whether bonds would face another perjury trial, for three charges in which the jury deadlocked in month-long trial in april. both sides are due back in court august 26. while the government decides whether or not to retry bonds, there's another fight going on here.

bonds is arguing his one conviction, obstruction of justice, be thrown out or be given a new trial. ellen martin is taking another look at why bonds' steroid scandal days are far from over. >> reporter: it's been more than two months since the jury convicted barry bonds on one count. >> the count which alleged steroids, which alleged needles, which alleged human growth hormones, those are mistried. >> reporter: this was about barry bonds. >> i think very little of it was about barry bonds. >> reporter: cbs 5 legal analyst paul henderson, former prosecutor, says despite the celebrity factor, this is still about steroid use and setting an example. >> we were all in the room because of the steroid use and abuse. that's how we got here in the first place. barry bonds elevated that situation when he chose to lie in the grand jury or interfere with the prosecution. >> reporter: but former federal prosecutor, now criminal defense attorney tony brat says

to barry, it was all about barry. >> barry bonds with us a guy who grew up playing baseball, from a baseball family, and reached the very height of that career. when he was given immunity, all that did was protect him from criminal prosecution in the event that he admitted using steroids. >> reporter: which he never did. nor was bonds convicted of lying. the closest the jury came to that was a vote of 11 to 1. one juror didn't believe a witness who said she saw bonds being injected. >> well, i just thought she was very unreliable. that doesn't mean his sister is, but there's the slight possibility. and i, i just -- i didn't feel comfortable going against the reasonable doubt. >> in this case, i think that's one of the strongest counts they had, was that perjury charge, specifically about whether or not he received the injection. i know that that's what the prosecution is likely doing as they were evaluating whether or not they are going to move forward on the perjury count specifically. >> reporter: which is why tony brat thinks the government has to retry bonds. >> when beards walked away with a lesser charge, with an

obstruction charge, all people will remember is that they didn't really get him. if you remember the day the verdict came in, people were applauding him and asking if he was going to go celebrate. barry bonds said there's nothing to celebrate. but the perception was that he had won. that means the perception is the government lost. >> reporter: in the end, people will ask, was it all worth it? >> i don't think it's the expense that will be on the government's minds. i think it's the public perception of the expense. does the federal government want it to look like they are so zealous about every case, so zealous about a case no one cares about, that they disregard their audience? >> it's costing a lot of money. >> it's costing a lot of money, but we don't know how much it's costing, we don't know what we're getting in prevention. >> reporter: meaning how many athletes are saying i saw what happened to barry bonds and i'm not going down that road. if you have a story idea, log onto cbssf.com. click on connect, closer look, and send me an e-mail. allen martin, cbs 5. >> we'll be covering the continue legal escapades there. to catch a thief.

man got his macbook back after his computer snapped photos like this one....showing the robber driving away with his property. this is just another example of ordinary people who are taking justice into their own hands. now we want to know if there are any security concerns in using apps like this one. for more on that - molly wood, executive editor at cnet, and host of the webshow, the buzz report. joins us now. good morning! good morning!

>> in this case, it was extremely useful, finding out exactly where the person lived, captured tons of photos. >> these are all pictures of the thief? >> this person is using his mac book. the amaze thing, he couldn't -- those of us in oakland are maybe familiar, he couldn't get the police to help him when he reported the laptop stolen, until he posted this blog. it got a ton of attention. tv producers started calling him and then the next thing you know, oakland police department says as long as you know exactly where the thief is, we'll get your laptop and he

got it back. >> and the police have said that's how they are dealing with these property crimes, because they are so under budget, dealing with the more violent crimes. yeah, if you're able to solve your own crime and present it to the police, arrest is made, done deal. >> that is a good thing, unless you do that, take justice into your own hands thing, which obviously is something people need to be careful with. >> right. i wonder, is it worth it? the computer is expensive, but to go through all these steps-- >> right. you know, honestly, if anything, it gives people a way to express their frustration, to have -- to say, look, we have the technological means to track this down. isn't there a way we can work together to make this happen, where it becomes a problem is where people say i know where my phone is and i'm going to go confront the possible thief. that is, i would say, not a good idea. >> not a good call. >> stick with the police. >> because there are phone apps as well. where's my droid, things like this. do you recommend people install this? >> oh, absolutely. they are incredibly useful, even if you just lose your

phone in your own house. >> that happens! >> i've seen it. i've seen where's my iphone used to find a phone buried under a pillow. whether stolen or just misplaced, they are really useful. what about the security concerns, what should people be aware of? >> i have a lot of friends who say when using their laptops, they put a post-it note over that camera eye, just in case, because you never know if your software is on by accident or if hackers have gained control of your machine. lot of computers are injected with trojan horses. you never know what's happening there. so people feel more comfortable covering it up. >> do you do that? >> i do sometimes! because i keep my computer in my bedroom. i put a post it on it, why not. >> pretty simple move. what other sort of tip would you have when it comes to security? >> the first tip really is to get one. lot of people don't know about them and they are just finding out, where's my iphone is a free service from apple and it's very good.

where's my droid is a very good application for the android platform. look into the prey software, because it's free. people have been offering these lojack services for a yearly fee, but now almost all that software is free. so i would definitely recommend you go find it and install it. then if you do have your possessions stolen, don't try to be a vigilante. involve the police. it's not a good idea to try to confront a thief. >> i would have to agree. a few hundred dollars is not worth your life. thanks for joining us this morning. well, speaking of crimes, a famous cat burglar from san make toy yo will join us this morning. how the clep toe cat is using his note notoriety for a good cause. plus, an international racing event here in the bay area next. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,

public defender sees the door to door blitz as a witch hunt. in fact, a search of the meghan's law website reveals not just verse, but 17 sex offenders living within one mile of one another. but neighbors say deputies never warned them of the other 16. >> telling us about one guy, they should have been telling us about all of them. >> reporter: verse' attorney hinted the door-to-door blitz is harassment. >> we don't think it's harassment. we think it's our obligation to inform the public. >> reporter: the door-to-door blitz is well within the law, meghan's law, that is, which spells out cops can take whatever means the department deems appropriate to ensure the public safety. but the 40-year-old convicted of four rapes, including two boys, is a portrait in redemption, due in part to his voluntary chemical cast strags and decade-long therapy that she believes has curbed his

bay. again, we'll look for clearing through the afternoon. i doubt if it's going to clear at the beach, though. i think we'll hang on to the clouds and lot of fuzziness out there, with flood warnings up again for the san joaquin valley here in the foothills of the sierra. they have been letting out a lot of water from the reservoirs, with the rapid snow melt following the big warmup. as a result, flood warnings for the kings river, south of yosemite, even in the lake tahoe basin. these conditions are likely to continue for the next several weeks. so keep in mind, the water israel be running high, fast and cold for the next several weeks into mid-july, as we see that record snow melt in the highcountry. we got a rapid warmup this week, back down to near normal temperatures for the weekend, with temperatures across the interior into the upper 70s to low 80s, under mostly sunny skies. at the bay, upper 60s to low 70s, becoming sunny through the

afternoon and probably staying pretty fuzzy at the beach, in the mid-60s to upper 50s there, as a weak pattern continues to go by to our north. it's just enough to maintain the onshore push across the bay area. this disturbance is well to our north, but we are looking at the onshore breeze here. coast aloe clouds and fog, the net result and slightly cooler temperatures today. we'll see little bumps tomorrow. things warm slightly, but then cooling again into midweek, with more clouds and that chance of rain that i mentioned creeping into the picture. for today, the fog will creep back to the coast, may not clear entirely. but it will head in that direction through the day. as a result, we'll look for upper 70s, maybe a few 80s across the interior. back in the east bay hills, upper 60s to low 70s, and on the peninsula, mid-60s to low 60s on the beach, even upper 50s in the fog bound locations. as we take a quick look at rainfall totals, because they are coming up at the end of the year, we're well above normal.

128% of normal here. rainfall season ends at the end of june. we may add to this through midweek. but i wouldn't look for much in the way of any measurable precipitation, as once again, looks like a few drops, if that showing up. tuesday night, into wednesday, the potential of afternoon thunderstorm activity out across the interior. we see temperatures gradually warming here in the beginning of the week, then cooling down again midweek with that slight chance of showers in the forecast, as we see that disappear on wednesday. again, most of that will be to our north and we'll warm up again come the end of the week into next weekend, as we end the rainfall season coming up at the end of june here. it's been a productive year, well above normal, the second la nina year in a row with above average rainfall. we should be headed back to normal by next winter. needs to end first! >> certainly does, but we'll enjoy the sunny days. sunday and monday look pretty

appearan well, hide the jewelry, towels, anything you have laying around, because san mateo clepto cat is making a celebrity appearance at the animal shelter where he was

adopted himself nearly five years ago. dusty wants to help other four- legged friends find good homes. for more about dusty in today's adoption event, scott deluke with the humane society and spca joins us now. thank you for coming, and thank you for bringing dusty. it's segments like this where my true cat lady roots come out. i cannot stand out cute he is! >> someone's going to have a wardrobe malfunction and it's not me or you! >> he's looking like he's putting up with that remarkably well. >> these add weight. horizontal stripes? >> no choice in the matter. we think you look very handsome, dusty. tell us, dusty is very famous now nationwide, been on david letterman, animal planet. what's dusty's deal? >> he was adopted from our shelter almost five years ago, and no one knew anything about the things that he did. >> and had he been brought in as a stray? >> brought in as a kitten, surrendered by an owner, came in with a couple of other kittens, pretty typical of what we see. he was adopted and his owners

quickly found out that he likes to go around the neighborhood and take things. >> he goes into other people's yards. things like bikinis, bras, towels. >> everything, car wash rags. takes pairs of socks. >> awfully smart. lot of people will bring their owners dead mice, birds. he's actually bringing items of value! >> he hasn't brought any jewelry or power tools yet, but has brought interesting things. >> now that he's been exposed, is he still doing it? >> he still does, yeah. and i think the neighbors are having fun with it, too. >> very good. of course they know where to go once they have something missing. >> exactly. >> dusty will be at your big event today? he is. >> people can come and take pictures with him, if he's not totally over it by that point. >> i wore my shirt that's much like a scratching post apparently. >> smart. and also, you're not going to have cat hair show up. tell us about the event.

>> we're calling it steal your heart adopt a-thon. we open the doors at 10:00. we have close to 175 dogs, cats, and other pets available for adoption. when those doors open at the humane society in san mateo, they will all be looking to have someone steal their heart. they are taking their inspiration from dusty, who has stolen more than anything! >> isn't it amazing how adopting a kitten can bring so much to people's lives? >> we see it all the time. we see seniors who adopt pets for their companion. we see families with little kids, their first pet that they will remember forever. they are all special. >> reduced fees. tell us about that. >> all the adoptions are half off today. dog is usual $160, now 60. cat adoptions, usually $80, now 40. dusty's going to help out a lot. lot of people are interested in meeting him, taking photos. hope people walk into the doors and find their own dusty.

>> absolutely. tell us about the fourth of july coming up. our producer said she was trying to find boarding for her dog and everything is booked. what do you do if you are going on vacation? >> boarding ranges from $30 a night to $100 that will turn down and leave a mint on the pillow, but there are other options, too. you can have people you know and trust come to your home, and sometimes they like that more, if you trust someone being in your home. it's a lot less expensive, maybe easier on your pet, or you could do what some parents do with little kids who have play dates and have kind of a trade-off. you go on vacation, they take your pet. when they go on vacation, you take their pet. >> cats can be home alone for sometime. >> yeah, for a little bit. neighbors come in and checkup on them, neighborhood kids. maybe they make a few bucks, too. take the dog for a walk, play with them. and with fourth of july coming up, animals don't like loud noises.

>> probably our busiest day in the shelter, july 5 and 6. all the dogs that are stray, that leave their backyards, bust through fences, get over fences, and we tell people to keep their pets indoors, in a room where the drapes are drawn, have music on, or the tv to drown out the noise, and all the sights. and make sure the animal has id right now. some people figure that out too late. the id's got to be current. we do micro chips for $20, no appointment necessary. really kind of taking some precautions ahead of time, too. >> certainly. get the shelter cleared out, so when the fourth comes up, you have housing for the animals. >> that would always be wonderful for us. >> scott, thanks for joining us, and clepto kitty, dusty, you're the man! >> he is. he's a guaranteed youtube sensation for everybody. >> certainly. we appreciate it and we wish everybody luck today. >> thank you. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
