Puppy Tries to Recreate Cancelled Road Trip

By Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

Tallulah is a dog who loves to go for drives. Her favorite time of year is late summer, when she and her family take annual road trips around the midwest.

However, the family’s car has been in the shop for the entire summer, forcing a cancellation of this year’s vacation.

“We’re all disappointed that the car broke down,” family matriarch Margie Nitsa said via email. “Tallulah took it the hardest, though. She’s missing the call of the open road.”

Nitsa added that the puppy has been consoling herself by sitting in front of a fan, trying to recreate the feel of the wind in her fur.

“Sometimes I sit next to her and pretend to hold a steering wheel or flip through radio stations,” she said. “I think it’s helping her to cope with the disappointment.”

Cat’s Singing Disturbs Housemates

Cat’s Singing Disturbs Housemates

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

It was a seemingly peaceful apartment. Then, Jerry discovered his love of showtunes.

“He started off with Phantom, then Rent,” says Drew Farber, a friend of the cat. “His housemates were annoyed, but didn’t raise much of a fuss. Then he got into Les Mis.”

Soon, Jerry’s incessant renditions of “I Dreamed a Dream” and “One Day More” became too much to bear. 

“His housemates confronted him about it,” says Farber. “They reached an agreement after that – no Broadway during naptime. Since that pretty much covered any time of day, everybody was good. I still have no idea how he never heard of Cats.”

Owl Second Guessing Move to Caribbean

Owl Second Guessing Move to Caribbean

By Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

Recently retired owl Amber last month moved to the US Virgin Island of St. Croix. But what was intended to be a quiet retirement, living out her golden years in paradise, has turned into a nightmare.

“She’s become the center of attention everywhere she goes on the island. People just stare at her, sometimes even through binoculars,” said close friend Alex Marinelli. "It’s rude. It’s like they’ve never seen an owl before.“

According to owl expert Dr. Nathan Twony of Ball State University, that very well could be the case.

"Long eared owls don’t usually get down that far south,” he said. “Seeing a bird like Amber in St. Croix would understandably cause quite a stir. I’m sure the local ornithological community is pretty excited.”
