Pink as a poodle

Boulder, Colo. (AP) - May 2, 2008

Joy Douglas dyed Cici, her white miniature poodle, to call attention to breast cancer.

She says she used beet juice and Kool-Aid. But she was ticketed in March under an ordinance designed to discourage people from dyeing rabbits and chicks for Easter.

Officials in the Boulder City Attorney's office say her case could be dropped if she's not accused of dyeing animals before her next court date in October. Cici is currently white.
