Puppy Promoted to Middle Management

Dexter the dog has been promoted to associate manager of operations at the box factory where he works. He’ll be responsible for all work orders related to machine maintenance, and for any third shift hiring.

“This is a big step for Dex,” said Shiloh Twomey, who heads up the operations department. Twomey explained that Dexter joined the company during an obedience school internship program in 2009 and came on full-time after graduation. He has slowly worked his way up to middle management.

“Box making may not seem very glamorous, but Dexter is proof that hard work and determination gets results,” said Twomey, who indicated that the pup is being groomed to take on even more responsibility, including his own team.

First Meeting of Poofy Fur Club Convenes in Oslo

OSLO, Norway – A historic first meeting of members of the recently formed “Poofy Fur Club” gathered this week in the Norwegian capital, after months of strictly virtual communications.

As poofy fur has gained both popularity and acceptance in the canine community, many dogs felt the need for a place to gather, discuss and debate the merits of poof.  Some leading proponents of the hairstyle created the “I Like Poofy Fur” Facebook page late last year.  It has since gained over 500 likes from both poofy furred dogs and poofy fur enthusiasts around the world.

The group held its first ever in-person meeting this week in Oslo, Norway.
