Carolina Husky Can’t Seem to Get Comfortable

The Fluffington Post has confirmed that a South Carolina-based Siberian husky named Juno is having difficulty falling asleep.

“She just can’t seem to get comfortable,” says Alana Baskin, a source close to the situation. “She’s tried both sides of the pillow, curling up in the corner, getting a bowl of water — nothing’s working.”

A number of witnesses have expressed their concern, as Juno has an important presentation at work tomorrow.

“She needs to get some rest so she can bring her A-game,” says Jeff English, a colleague at the State Farm Insurance office in Summerville where Juno works. “The whole finance department is counting on her PowerPoint.”

As of press time, Juno’s eyes were still open.

Dog Turns Party Trick Into Traveling Roadshow

A San Francisco, CA dog named Jack has long been a hit at family gatherings and cocktail parties.

“He can balance just about anything on his nose,” says Candice Yen, a source close to the situation. “Soup cans, footballs, cookies, you name it. People would give him a standing ovation at Game Night.”

It wasn’t long before Jack’s friend Mark Steinway saw an opportunity.

“I told him he’s too talented for these little parties,” Steinway tells The Fluffington Post. “He’s got to take that out on the road and make a name for himself.” Jack took Steinway’s advice, quitting his job in HR for a small publishing company and investing a chunk of his savings in a van, costumes, signage and a website.

“Stack on Jack was born, and we’re headed to 25 U.S. cities this summer,” says Steinway, who now serves as Jack’s tour manager. “There’s not a ton of money in these kinds of live shows, but we’re hoping for an endorsement deal to come through soon.”

Pup Launches Neighborhood Recycling Program

A 5-month-old puppy named Otto was disappointed to learn that his area of Phoenix, AZ didn’t recycle plastic.

“They take metal and paper, but no plastic bottles,” says Johnathan Mitchell, Otto’s neighbor. “It’s 2013 for crying out loud, I don’t know what’s taken them so long.”

Rather than wait for the city government to act, Otto has taken the initiative and launched a localized plastic recycling program.

“He goes door to door collecting bottles,” says Mitchell. “He drives them to the closest processing center, which is on the other side of town. It’s a bit of a haul, but until we get more trucks or facilities in our neck of the woods, there will be a lot of plastic heading to the landfill. Otto’s on a mission to change that.”

Corgi Buys Homemade Hats on Etsy

A New Jersey corgi named Stanley has something of an addiction.

“He’s been known to order 25 hats online in one sitting,” says Raymond Marin, the dog’s roommate. His e-commerce platform of choice is Etsy, an online community where artists and craftspeople sell their handmade wares.

“He’s really into the crafty charm of homemade clothing,” says Marin. “He’s obsessed with it, actually. I’m talking about closets full of hats — most of them are made of felt or burlap. We’re talking lots of ribbons and glue guns, here.”

Cat Cyberbullied Over Awkward Selfie

When you ask friends what defines Cheeto, a 2-and-a-half-year-old cat from New Orleans, LA, you’ll get a lot of similar answers.

“He’s very into himself,” says Arnold Scudder. “It seems like whenever we talk, the conversation always veers back around to him.”

So it’s no surprise that Cheeto’s Facebook profile is littered with his own self-taken portraits. But one in particular caught the eye of classmates, and it soon made the rounds.

“He just had this silly look on his face, like he’s trying to impress us,” says Lillian Casarez, who saw a friend share the photo online. “A lot of other kids didn’t think it was cute, so they started leaving mean comments and making fun of him.”

“He was cyberbullied,” says Joseph Craig, the superintendent where Cheeto attends middle school. “We looked into it, and asked students who had shared the photo to remove it. Cheeto went home early. He was a little upset, but I think he learned a valuable lesson about the Internet.”
