Puppy Leaves Early for BarkWorld 2013
Puppy Leaves Early for BarkWorld 2013
Thought it’s still more than four months away, a puppy named Jack is so excited for this year’s BarkWorld Expo that he’s packed his bags and headed down to Atlanta early.
“He’s been looking forward to it all year,” says Amanda Cornish, Jack’s roommate. “Every day, it’s ‘BarkWorld this,’ and ‘BarkWorld that.’ So yesterday he just packed up and left. I think he wanted to reserve the best seat at the Westin.”
The annual conference for social media-savvy pet bloggers and industry experts will take place from August 22-24 in Atlanta, GA, and 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 connect at BarkWorld.
Tickets are still available, so reserve your seat now!

Kitten Brothers Accepted to Startup Incubator
Kitten Brothers Accepted to Startup Incubator
Russian kitten brothers Alexei and Vitaly have been accepted into the prestigious Y Combinator startup accelerator program. The two will be working on a mobile app that allows cats to catalog and rate the best cat hangouts: trees with flocks of birds, dumpsters with old fish, discarded balls of yarn, etc.
“Think of it as Yelp for cats,” said Peter Deng, the founding CTO of the company. “Alexei and Vitaly are real visionary leaders. They’re going to change the way cats find disgusting things to eat outside.”
The brothers plan to move to the United States next month, and have just signed a lease for basket of laundry in Mountain View.

Local Puppy Heartbroken Over Household Nutella Shortage
Local Puppy Heartbroken Over Household Nutella Shortage
When Pippy the pug was told that there was no more Nutella in the house, she was reportedly overcome with sadness.
“She absolutely loves that stuff,” said Liza Billings, a source close to the situation. “It’s creamy. It’s hazelnutty. Really, what’s not to love?"
According to Billings, Pippy was nearly inconsolable. However, sources tell The Fluffington Post that the hazelnut spread has been restocked, and the dog is slowly starting to cheer up.
