The Bird Show. You guys might have seen this story on 11 Alive a couple of days ago.

If you did, I'm sure you were as infuriated about it as we were when we got wind of it also.

So it was quite a scene.

And Valerie Cheatham, assistant manager of precious jewelry at Neiman Marcus, was in the middle of it on August 2nd.

Two of my coworkers and an Atlanta City police officer who works part-time for us were

pointing out the windows saying that there were two dogs locked in a car in the parking

deck.

She said it was 90 degrees.

She got the number for animal control and went to write down the tag number on the

black BMW when she realized the sunroof was open and decided to get some water to the dogs. Because the car was so tall, I could not reach inside, so I took my shoes off and got on the hood.

And that's when the owner came out, yelling, screaming, cursing.

The owner of the dogs, Ramona Lindsay, says Cheatham damaged her $80,000 car. She complained about Cheatham's

actions to store managers and filed a police report. On the telephone, the owner of the dogs,

Ramona Lindsay, told us she loves her animals and that they go everywhere with her, and that on

this day she left her sunroof open and her window slightly cracked. She says her dogs were

fine. But in the police report, the officer says other customers complained of seeing the dogs in the car.

And Atlantic Humane Society officials say even with the sunroof open,

the temperature can climb to 105 degrees in under five minutes.

Lindsay, who says she spends thousands of dollars a year at the store,

says she was trying on clothes for between 15 and 40 minutes. Cheatham was fired for improper behavior.

If you had to do over, I would do it again. I told our human resource manager that I was

46 years old. I've never been fired from a job. I'd given almost 10 years of my life to that company. And I said, tonight, I'm going to go home and sleep like a baby. And I hope that people in corporate can do the same. Can you believe it? Good for her. Good for her for doing that. Absolutely. You believe that? What do you think, Jeff? No, I just, it's fascinating. speaks for for itself, huh? Yeah, same thing I emailed you before.
