Writer, producer and director Garry Marshall died last night. Matt lauer shares the legacy he leaves behind. Reporter this morning mourning the loss of Garry Marshall. A beloved figure in show business, he leaves a legacy of laughter and heartwarming moments on television and in films. Born in the bronx in 1934, marshall got his start in the late 1950s as a joke writer, eventually working on the tonight show with jack parr. In 1970, marshall adapted his first tv hit, the odd couple. He created a string of sitcoms, including happy days starring Henry Winkler and ron howard. Hey, hey, hey, i need some quiet. And its spinoff, lavern and shirley, which starred his younger sister, penny marshall. With mork mindy he introduced the world to robin williams. In the 1980s and 90s, marshall began directing movies and found mega success with one of his biggest hits, pretty woman. The cast reunited on today last year explaining how one of oh i opened the box and she goes oh, wonderful. So we did like three or four takes. Oh, its wonderful, shes so excited. Garry says snap it. I figure snap it, well do it. So he snapped it but she laughed so well that people said leave it in the movie. We both laughed so much because it was one of the charming moments. Overnight richard gere said in a statement that marshall was one of the funniest men who ever lived. He had a heart of the purest gold and a soul full of mischief. Henry winkler, who starred as fonzie on happy days sent a tweet saying thank you for my professional life. Thank you for your loyalty, friendship and generosity. And that was matt lauer.

He recently finished a rewrite of pretty woman because its being turned into a broadway shelters event is happening on saturday, july 23rd, and 40 nbc and telemundo stations are teaming up with animal shelters here and across the country to help find loving homes for pets in need. As we get ready for the big event, we wanted to get a better idea of what it takes to train an old or a new pet. We are joined now by beth mullen from the washington humane society, Washington Animal Rescue League and you did not come alone. Youve got company. Tell me a little bit about your dog. This is snell. Snell was left tied up on the streets of d. C. He was very fearful. It took us three weeks before we could touch him. But we have a program at the shelter where we call it fearless fido and we work with dogs who show a lot of fear but dont show aggression. Weve had 100 success rate with adoptio adoptions. And i want to ask about dogs in need. Do you find that many times the strays, which our animal control officers pick up on the streets of d. C. We do hold them for five to six days for people to come claim them and then we have a lot of dogs that people st for some reason cant keep anymore. They lose homes or have to move. Many different types of reasons. What would you say is the main things that somebody needs to know if they are considering adopting a dog . Well, a lot of these dogs have gone through a lot of changes in their lives. So we want to really make things predictable for them. So, for example, with snow, he just really needed to learn the routine. We kept his world relatively small for the first month, limited the interactions he had with people. You have to remember hes hes probably about a year old, so unlike puppies, people are your family and friends are strangers to these dogs so you want to take it easy and let the force an interaction. And it sounds like as far as training is concerned, consistency is key. They crave predictability. Dogs love to know the routine. So when you do adopt a dog, its great to establish a routine. Make your comings and goings at the same time, feedings, walks, and you dont have to explore the whole neighborhood. You can just gradually go a little bit further and further around until they know it. Whats your number one tip for those who are adopting a puppy . Oh, puppies youre like how long do you have to talk, right . Thats the same kind of thing. The one tip is socialability and social interaction. Sometimes we want to expose our puppies to everything. We just want to make sure were doing it in a positive way and make sure they dont get stressed while were doing it. Im sure practicing a whole lot of patience. Yes. Thank you for joining us, beth, as well as snow and his dad. Weve got the whole family here. Hope everyone turns out on saturday, 10 00 to 5 00. You can find out more about clear the shelters on nbcwashington. Com. We have a whole page dedicated to it. Taking a look outside right now, it is cooler and less humid today. Will we see a little change tomorrow . And an even bigger change by the weekend . Lauryn ricketts h its one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. This landing comes at a pretty good time. Today is the anniversary of apollo 11. Astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon exactly 47 years ago on july 20th, 1969. To honor that iconic moment in history, there is a brand new display at the smithsonian air and space museum in chantilly. The smithsonian is exhibiting there for the next 12 months. Those pieces are very fragile, as you can imagine. Well, in case you missed it, chopper 4 got a great shot of our full moon this morning. It almost looks fake. Julys full moon is sometimes called a buck moon. How many moons do you have . Strawberry moon, buck moon, crescent moon. Blue moon. Blue moon tastes good. There you go. A time of year when male deers grow antlers. And that was more for native americans to show when the seasons were changing. So it wasnt us but theres a History Lesson for you. A lesson in the weather, we have got the heat coming. Oh, boy, its building. I know we had some storms last night. So those areas that had a little bit of rain last night, it actually upped the soil moisture. And so we still have a little the humid side but we arent looking at really the heat and humidity that weve had over the last couple days and definitely not what were going to see this weekend. So cooler, especially if you get outside the beltway, cooler and comfortable. As we continue in the afternoon, that humidity will stay in check, especially for those areas that didnt see rain last night. We are headed to 90 tomorrow. The humidity will build by tomorrow afternoon and then were headed into maybe 100, 101 this weekend. Current temperatures this weekend are 82 in d. C. , 79 in gaithersburg. It feels like 86 in washington, again because of that soil moisture. But those areas that didnt get a lot of rain still feeling like the actual air temperature. Temperatures today, the air temperature will move into the mid to upper 80s. Plenty of sun out there today. And maybe a few showers south. Were talking about Southern Maryland. Also for the Eastern Shore but less than a 20 chance. If youre headed out to nats park tonight, looking good for that with those temperatures dropping throu t but were at 90 tomorrow. Humidity will start to increase. And then look where we are on friday, mid to upper 90s. Again, plenty of sunshine on friday. Then we head into the 100s. 99 on saturday, 100 on sunday, 100 on monday. We could have those heat indices over 105 so we have to watch for heat warnings. Until then keep an eye to the sky with just a chance of isolated storms for the weekend. Well, a warning for parents this morning about those popular mermaid tails that were seeing a lot this summer. Your kids may want to wear them in the pool but experts now saying not so fast. They can weigh down the childs leg especially if theyre not a strong swimmer. If you let your child in the water with a mermaid tail, make sure they stay in the shallow end. Never leave your children alone with one on. Also avoid taking those tails to the beach. In the ocean you were the currents, you have the different waves and its just not a safe well, the tails themselves are also pricey, with some selling for 125. I always thought those were just good for pictures. You probably shouldnt take it to the pool and the lifeguard saying you should be within arms length anyway. We werent born with fins. We need our legs. We know its midjuly but its time to start thinking your kids back to school, especially your College Students. After the break, a serious conversation every parent should have with their son or daughter but how did we end up here . His mom thought he had the flu and that he was covered by the meningococcal meningitis. Vaccine he had received. Until 2014 there were. No vaccines for meningitis b in the u. S. Now there are. While uncommon, meningitis b can. Lead to death within 24 hours. Trumenba is a vaccine for 10 through 25 year olds to help prevent group b meningococcal disease. Trumenba should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. Most common side effects were injectionsite pain, fatigue. Headache, muscle pain, and chills. Ask your doctor about. All the risks and benefits of trumenba and tell them if youve received any other meningitis b vaccines. Meningitis b can be spread by typical sharing behaviors. A drink. A spoon. A kiss. It all started here. It might have been prevented with trumenba. Ask your doctor about trumenba. Its a great day for an adventure. Surprises are hiding around each corner. Come chase thrills that lead in every direction. Yet somehow bring us all back together. Busch gardens williamsburg and water country usa. Vacation packages start at 50 per person. Next month thousands of kids from our area will be heading off to college for the first time and this can be a tough time for parents but also be a Good Opportunity for conversations. Psychiatrist dr. Joshua weiner joins us with a talk that you should absolutely have with your teen before you head home. Every parent should have a conversation with their daughters about the risk and prevention of sexual abuse thats been in the news a lot lately. Why is this conversation so important . First of all, i hope they have already had this conversation throughout high school, but absolutely if you havent, now is the time. You know, its really scary, one in four or five women boy the time they graduate from college will have been raped. So if you have a one in four or five chance that something horrible is going to happen to your child, i think its incumbent upon you to talk with them about what they need to that. So the first thing i have people talk to their kids about is the kids need to be aware, every patient that ive ever seen in my practice, College Student female whos been raped, they have all been drunk. You need to talk about the risks of getting drunk and getting in an uncomfortable sexual encounter. Thats number one. They need to make sure theyre surrounded by friends, hopefully female friends that they trust. Another thing to be aware of is they cannot accept drinks from a guy, even if its a guy they think they can trust and a guy theyre friends with. They shouldnt leave their drink unattended. It could be drugged. It could be drugged, right. Every year this happens and i see somebody in my practice where this occurs. They need to be aware it can be drugged. They cant see it, smell it or taste it. The next thing they know they wake up and theyre in a room with their underwear off. Its just tragic. And you said there were some tips to talk to your daughter about if you do find yourself in a situation where youre being what can you do to get out of that situation . What i tell my patients is some listeners might not like this advice, but what i tell them is i think they need to think about it ahead of time. What i suggest is if theyre in an uncomfortable situation, try to urinate on yourself or say you need to vomit and go to the bathroom. Those are two situations to potentially get away from the person whos about to hurt you. Make sure you have your cell phone on you at all times, lock yourself in a bathroom, call 911, call a trusted friend. If my daughter were going off to college, id give her pepper spray and teach her how to use it so if she needed to, shed have something to defend herself. We always talk about girls but its also important to talk to your sons. They are a big part of the solution as well. What conversations should you have with your sons before they have to head o to college . I think with the sons you need to tell them that they need to respect women, they need to make sure that they are not engaging in Sexual Activity with a girl whos drunk. That being drunk an able to be able to give verbal consent makes them vulnerable for later that girl possibly saying you did this without my consent. It can be a huge problem. So i think that the boys need to be aware that unless the girl has given consent and unless shes sober, just dont do anything. Right. And that whole mixing alcohol, mixing partying, when youre in a new environment, all those things together create some uncomfortable and risky situations for both your sons and daughters. Absolutely, absolutely. And is there anything a takeaway for parents when theyre dealing with uncomfortable questions about how to make sure those lines of communication are open when theyre off at college . Well, i think that you just want to have it all starts with the relationship that you have from the time your child is young, right . But i think you want to have this type of conversation. Hopefully over the next month youll have opportunities when you watch the news or youre watching Television Shows to be able to bring this up where it doesnt seem like youre saying sit down, i need if that doesnt happen, then you still need to sit them down and talk about it. Of course being in touch with them, regular contact, is always going to be helpful. Thanks as always. My pleasure.
