'Being Lazy on a Loan', 'Being a Bird-Brain' & 'Hemming and Hawing'

The plaintiff says she bought a bird from the defendant, but it died three hours later. She brought the bird back and the defendant told her to get an autopsy, which she did, and the animal had a pre-existing condition. She’s suing for her money back. The defendant says the bird was perfectly healthy and would have lived 80 years, but the plaintiff killed the bird by leaving it in a hot car in Florida. He denies owing her anything.

She’s countersuing for harassment. The plaintiff says he loaned the defendant some money, but when the defendant’s tax refund came in, he bought a fancy new truck, so the plaintiff is suing.
