STUDY TIP: Avoid Eye Strain With Regular Snuggle Breaks

While studying for finals, it’s important to stay healthy. But all that reading – much of it on computers these days – can put a massive strain on the eyes.

“Snuggling with your favorite cat or dog provides the duel benefit of giving your eyes a break and relieving stress while preparing for a big test,” he said.

Kitty Tries to Sneak Into BarkWorld Expo

Jealous that all his canine friends were busy making their travel arrangements for this year’s BarkWorld Expo, Samson the cat tried to smuggle himself to the conference via the luggage of a Pomeranian.

“It was never a very good plan,” said Josie Schlosser, who discovered the wayward cat. “First of all, he packed himself up almost three months before the conference. He’d never have made it if I hadn’t found him.”

BarkWorld is the premier conference for social media-savvy pet bloggers and industry experts. Taking place in Atlanta, GA from August 22-24, it will feature speakers from Change.org, Mashable, and this publication: The Fluffington Post. Whether your pet is a social media celebrity, or you manage online campaigns for a pet-friendly brand, you’ll want to attend this year’s conference.

Tickets are still available, so reserve yours now!

Fiat Announces Puppy GPS

When Ford announced its upcoming Kitten Dash system last week, there were whispers in the industry that competitors wouldn’t be far behind. Today, Fiat unveiled an early prototype of the Puppy GPS.

Developed in tandem with navigation company Garmin, the system will offer bark-by-bark navigation, satellite radio, hands free phone operation via Bluetooth, and Angry Birds.

“You see, he barks twice for left, and once for right,” said Fiat spokesperson Angelini Cattaneo, during a demo at the company’s headquarters in Turin, Italy yesterday “When you arrive at your destination, the Puppy GPS, it will lick your face. Very nice, yes?”

Fiat will begin to ship cars equipped with the new system by Fall 2014.
