Area Dog Treats Herself for Being a “Good Girl”

Following a full day of impeccable behavior, a local dog named Lola decided to sign up for pet products home delivery service BarkBox as a thank you… to herself.

It was a lot of work to avoid chewing on corner of the couch, knocking over any plants or eating anything really gross while on walks, said friends. But Lola did it, and she felt she deserved a treat.

“I thought for sure when the FedEx guy came that she was going to jump up on him and ruin a whole day of top notch doggie manners,” said Marla Sherris, a close friend. “But give Lola credit. She kept her excitement in check and just signed for the package without incident.”

Cat Shows Range of Expressions in Audition Tape

Arnold, an exotic shorthair kitten, demonstrated why he’s considered one of the best cat actors of his generation in a leaked audition tape for the upcoming Farrelly Brothers sequel, There’s Something About Puffy, which retells their 1998 smash hit There’s Something About Mary from the perspective of the title character’s best friend’s dog. Arnold plays Puffy’s arch nemesis, Fluffy.

The 2-minute clip, which can be seen on YouTube, shows Arnold displaying the full gamut of emotions: anger, happiness, sadness, excitement, fear, jealousy, surprise, boredom, embarrassment and hopefulness. He cycles through the varied states easily and quickly, showing how he can switch them on and off like a machine.

“It’s an impressive display,” said Agnes Turnbaum, founder of the Turnbaum School of Acting in Boston, MA. “That Arnold can so quickly and convincingly switch between such diverse emotions shows how much mastery he has over his craft.”

Doggie 5K Competitors Size Up the Competition

Competitors at the annual Puppy Fun Run 5K were invited to a pre-race event in order to meet the media and each other. The racers gathered at the local dog park this morning and spent the first half of the event running around, chasing balls, and generally sizing up the competition while showing off from media in attendance.

That was followed by a press conference, during which the most popular pup was Busy, a Kelly Blue Terrier who is the favorite to win the mid-size dog group.

Said trainer Tom Scott, “The other dogs are clearly afraid of Busy. If you’ll notice, his butt got the most sniffs. He’s the one to beat, and they know it.”

The race will be run tomorrow at 2pm.
