Pup Tries to Toughen Image with Novelty T-Shirt

Cavalli the Yorkie has been frustrated by how his friends perceive him.

“He’s just the cutest, shweetest wittle puppy wuppy around!” said Jessie Salt, a close friend of the dog. 

But Cavalli is a tough guy, or at least, he wants to be. He’s sick of being seen as a cute little weakling who needs to be carried around in a purse and dressed up in adorable outfits.

Last month, he decided to do something about his image. He signed up for a gym, he switched from diet soda to regular, and he got a new wardrobe. Specifically, he bought a t-shirt he thought said, “Bad to the Bone” on it – a message he absolutely wanted to embody.

Unfortunately for Cavalli, the shirt actually has the pun “Rad to the Bone” printed on the back. And that has just compounded the problem.

He’s not giving up, though. He’s going to try out a new shirt next week that reads: “Semper Fido” – he’s hoping this one has a better result.

Long-Distance Relationship Is Hard for Bulldog Couple

When Haldo the bulldog was assigned to a six-month post in Abu Dhabi for work, he was worried about the effect it would have on his then-new relationship with fellow dog Annabelle. Now 14 weeks into his assignment, things are going better than expected.

“It’s still really hard on both of them,” said Lachlan Tripp, a coworker at Haldo’s company. “But they’re also closer than they were at the start, if that makes sense.”

The two pups spend at least an hour each night using Google Hangouts to chat. Coordinating across timezones (Annabelle is in Denver, CO) can be difficult, but they have so far made it work.

When Haldo’s work assignment ends in a couple of months, they are planning to take a vacation together to the Dominican Republic.
