‘Hood Dogs’ Surpass ‘Purse Dogs’ as Pet of Choice Among Socialites

Move over tiny purse-sized Chihuahuas, there’s a new vogue pet in town.  According to a landmark study conducted by People magazine, more socialites have chosen “hood dogs” to “purse dogs” over the past 12 months.

“At one time, a socialite’s ensemble wasn’t complete without a purse-sized puppy as an accessory,” said People associate editor Claire Melo, who noted that Paris Hilton’s love of small-sized puppies helped popularize the trend a few years ago.  "These days, though, we’re finding that hooded sweatshirts are the preferred mode of doggy storage among the debutante set.“

Hamster’s Run-In With Robot ‘Adorable,’ Say Experts

A hamster in Chiba, Japan had what experts are saying was a “most adorable meeting” with a tiny Amazon.co.jp spokesrobot last week.  The two creatures met at a professional mixer at a downtown club and were reportedly very cautious at first.

“It was a lot of sniffing from the hamster and confused ‘beep-boops’ from the robot,” said one witness.  "But by the end of the night, they were getting along famously.“

The two are now fast friends and have already accepted an offer for a movie deal from Disney, loosely based on their week together.

‘Presidential Looking’ Cat Mistaken for Mitt Romney

‘Presidential Looking’ Cat Mistaken for Mitt Romney

A cat in Tampa, FL named Smokey was today mistaken for Republican nominee for U.S. President, Mitt Romney.  The cat was reportedly minding his own business at a cafe downtown, when a throng of GOP supporters and journalists descended upon him.

“He just looked so presidential sitting there reading the New York Times, we were sure it was him,” said Anne-marie Hayhurst, who was in town for the Republican National Convention.  "We asked for an autograph and it wasn’t until his signed his name ‘Smokey’ that I realized it was a cat and not Mitt Romney.“

Political pundits often talk about a candidate’s ability to "look presidential” as an important factor when predicting close races.  Of course this particular cat’s ability to look like a commander-in-chief has no bearing what-so-ever on whether candidate Romney can project that image.
