Pup Has Trouble Sticking to Healthy Diet
Pup Has Trouble Sticking to Healthy Diet
Dieting is hard. That’s the lesson one local puppy learned recently. After his doctor ordered him to eat more healthy foods, Willie, a Jack Russell Terrier, decided to quit saturated fats and fried foods completely.
“He starts every day off with eight ounces of coffee, black, some lettuce and tomato on whole wheat toast and a bowl of non-fat, plain yogurt with fresh fruit,” said Stephanie Minogue, a close friend. "The problem is that he’s hungry again a couple of hours later.“
According to Minogue, Willie has tried snacking on dehydrated kale chips, but just can’t get into them.
"Inevitably, he ends up munching on some beef jerky or making a run to KFC and his calorie limit for the day is blown,” she said. “It’s a work in progress.”

TIP: Save Space By Using Hanging Cat Planters
Is your cat garden taking up too much space? Have your moved your cats indoors off the porch or front stoop for the winter and suddenly find yourself with a cramped living room? Noted cat horticulturist Horace Wagner recommends using hanging kitty planters.
“Hanging cat planters not only free up floor space,” said Wagner, “but kitties thrive in them.”

Dog Protests Company-wide Pay Cuts
Dog Protests Company-wide Pay Cuts
Copernicus the dog has worked at Wiley & Glazier, a specialty gifts catalog located in Yonkers, NY for the past seven years. After multiple consecutive quarterly losses, management team made the decision this morning to announce company-wide pay and schedule reductions. Copernicus did not take it well.
According to co-workers, the dog decided to stage a sit-in in his boss’s office.
“He’s really miffed about the latest pay cuts,” said cubicle mate Aaron Walker.
According to Walker, Copernicus may have a legitimate beef. Wiley & Glaziers has been hemorrhaging customers the past few years because the company has balked at getting into e-commerce.
“We don’t even have a web site, let alone Facebook or Twitter accounts,” said Walker. "Copernicus has been pushing for us to develop a social media strategy for years, so this was the last straw.“
No word on how long Copernicus plans to stay put in his boss’s office.
