Puppy Caught Napping Under Desk
5% of businesses in the US allow pets at work according to the Society of Human Resources Management’s yearly benefits survey (PDF), and until last week, Baloo the dog was lucky enough to be employed at one.
But on Friday, he was caught by a supervisor napping on the job and immediately dismissed.
“This was the third time we’ve caught him sleeping under his desk,” said VP of Human Resources Todd Barett. “I don’t care how adorable he is. This is place of business and we expect people to actually work here.”
While co-workers were sad to see Baloo go, they’ve already begun jockeying for his office.
“He had amazing views,” said one employee. “And the office is really close to the snack machine.”

Cats Argue Over Box Fort Renovations
Two cats are locked a heated debate over how to proceed with renovations of their box fort, according to city filings. Both cats are listed as co-owners and each has submitted a set of wildly different plans to the city building inspections office.
“We can’t give them a permit until they decide what they’re actually planning to do,” said Frank Munroe, the chief inspector for the city. While one cat wants to add a second floor and is seeking a septic system permit to add an additional litter box, the other owner wants to expand outward on the ground level and filed plans that include a koi pond.
“Until they work this out, they can’t legally build,” said Munroe. “Simple as that.”
The box fort is located in the sought after basement neighborhood.
