Morning, everybody! I'm back with your fresh edition of the Lakewood Daily. Here are all the most important things to know about what's happening in town today.

But first, today's weather:

Sunny. High: 66 Low: 52.

Here are the top four stories in Lakewood today:

1. A Lakewood woman has been arrested for drunk driving while behind the wheel of a school bus. The woman, who has not been identified by police, was operating a bus for Hawken School in Lyndhurst. The bus was seen weaving through traffic and hitting curbs. Eventually, the bus turned into the school's parking lot and was apprehended by police. The driver failed a sobriety test at the site; no students were on the bus at the time of the incident. (cleveland.com)
2. If you were looking for a sign that it's time to add a new furry member to your family, this is it. There are dozens of loving animals in and around Lakewood that are looking to be adopted. Are you looking for a cat to cuddle up with on cold fall nights? Maybe a new puppy to play with your kids? Or perhaps you're looking for an older animal in need of a little TLC. Take a look at these animals looking for adoption, and see if one feels like the right choice for you. (Lakewood Patch)
