Local Ferret Is Style Icon
Wagstaff the ferret is turning heads this Spring with his jaunty scarves and menzies tartan plaid.
“It’s a bold look for the season,” said POPSUGAR fashion editor Anjelica Cole. “But Wagstaff pulls it off with aplomb.”
The ferret has become something of a local style icon, boosting sales of knit scarves at area shops and online. Representatives for the ferret say he is planning to launch his own line of tiny clothing later this year. It will be available exclusively on Net-a-porter.

Epic Tug of War Enters Seventh Hour
A league sanctioned match of tug of war at the Brooklyn Avenue dog park has unexpectedly entered a seventh hour. Neither of the two pups, Rocco and Dahlia, appear to be tiring, according to beat reporters on the scene.
“This was actually supposed to be a pretty quick match,” said Sam Carpenter, who covers tug of war for the New York Daily News. “Dahlia is a full weight class above Rocco. She should have mopped the floor with him.”
Once the stalemate reached a half hour, those at the park knew they were witnessing something special.
“It’s not every day you get to see something like this,” said Carpenter. “It’s like a 15 inning game in baseball or triple overtime in hockey.”
The match was initially broadcast on ESPN2, but has been switched to their web streaming service, WatchESPN. The longest tug of war in history is a 1937 match between two Chihuahuas in Chicago that lasted over 14 hours. This is the already the longest match of the last five years.
