Boston Terrier to Hold Open Office Hours

Cookie, a Boston Terrier from Waterloo, Canada, has announced that she will hold open office hours every Friday from 11am until 3pm.

“This a good way for Cookie to get to know her employees better,” said Margaret Weiss, who has worked for the dog for three years. “As the company has grown, it has been harder for Cookie to get to know all the new hires. This a way to make sure that good ideas can get heard and that everyone feels included at the company.”

Puppy Called for Penalty: Chewing the Ball

Any hopes that Ned might make the postseason roster on the semi-pro basketball team he plays for were dashed yesterday. The puppy was called for a technical foul after chewing up the ball during the team’s penultimate game of the regular season.

This was the seventh time the dog has been called for such a penalty this season.

“Seven is too many,” said coach Fran Winters. “Ned is a good player – he has a great post presence – but we just can’t have a ball chewer on the team in the playoffs. It’s a liability.”

Ned will still travel with the team, but he won’t suit up.

Area Puppy Fetches Stick, Unsure How to Proceed

When local puppy Asher, a German Shepard – Labrador Retriever mix, fetched a stick on Thursday morning, he wasn’t sure what to do next. So he just stood there, looking kind of unsure of himself.

“We had been working on fetch, and we’d gotten as far as, ‘you chase after the stick and pick it up,’ but we hadn’t addressed the ‘bringing it back’ part,” explained Aisha Franklin, a source close to the situation. “He’ll get it. He just needs more practice.”
