Hour 4 (10.28) 9:05: Timmy’s starting the night with a real dog of a story. The City of LA just sued a Valley animal rescue called Wagmor Pets and its owner Melissa Bacelar, accusing them of “puppy laundering.” The claim is that celebrity-favorite Wagmor was moving pooches through the system in a way that wasn’t quite as pure as the marketing. Bacelar’s denying every bit of it. That’s ruff. 

9:20: The Wagmor story gets even shaggier. The lawsuit claims Bacelar was buying dogs straight from puppy mills and then flipping them as feel-good rescues to wealthy women hunting for the perfect companion. The tell? Every single one was a designer purebred — not a pit bull, not a mutt, not a single scruffy face in the bunch. Were these buyers in full denial mode? Some of them happily dropped well over a thousand bucks for the privilege of “rescuing” a Frenchie or a doodle. 

9:35: Think you’ve got a cheap holiday flight locked in? Think again. Discount carriers like Frontier are watching fares jump a brutal 71 percent thanks to fuel costs. The silver lining? You still get the classic midair arguments between fellow bargain hunters. Pet fees on the dog-friendly airline are now pushing $150 a head. After one disastrous trip with Ernie that ended in green-apple splatters, Tim swore off flying with dogs forever. Speaking of Ernies, Ernie Johnson is hanging it up at “Inside the NBA.” 

9:50: West Hollywood moves forward with plans to construct the city's tallest building, 1000 La Brea Tower. Some locals love it, while others are up in arms? As for Conway? He says bring on the construction! Helicopters hovered over upscale Valley nabe Tarzana yesterday, warning locals to make themselves scarce. Why?  They were coming for two men who were nabbed in relation to a kidnapping. It happens to be Timmy’s old stomping ground and brings to his mind the memory of a person who got their wiener and testicles bitten off by a feisty German Shepherd after an attempted home robbery.
