Dachshund Wins Big Playing Online Poker

Move over, C.M. Coolidge. This dog playing poker has gone digital, and managed to rake in a whopping $65,000 in three months.

Zoey, a dachshund from Welcome, NC, plays on UltimatePoker.com for about seven hours a day, whittling real money away from novice players – most of whom have no idea she’s a dog.

“A lot of inexperienced players try to make big moves early on to cash out as soon as possible,” says poker expert and coach Willy Davis. “Not Zoey. She plays a slow game, bleeds ‘em dry. Eventually, that pays off big.”

Rare Photo of Kitten Sitting in Box

Rare Photo of Kitten Sitting in Box

The Fluffington Post has obtained this incredibly rare photo of a kitten sitting in a box.

“The box is the kitten’s natural habitat,” said feline naturalist Keith Levick, “but due to aggressive recycling programs, many boxes are being removed from living room floors. This is devastating to the kitty environment.”

Levick explains that kittens generally like to sit — or “roost” — in boxes for hours at a time, but that obtaining photos of this activity is exceptionally rare, and becoming more rare due to the destruction of the boxlands.

Bunny Sheds Pounds With Raw Food Diet

A local bunny named Tom is reporting that he has lost some serious weight after switching to a vegan, raw food diet a few months ago.

“Tom will pretty much only eat plant-based foods and he’s probably 95% raw,” said friend Caroline Senna.  "He’ll make the occasional exception and have some olive oil braised carrots once in awhile, but mostly he sticks to the diet.“

And boy has it paid off.  Senna reports that Tom has lost three ounces since starting the diet in May and is now nearing his target weight.

Professional Kitten Snuggler Weighs in at 3 Pounds, 2 Ounces

Sugar Ray Paws, current reigning champion in the featherlight kitten weight class, weighed in at 3 pounds, 2 ounces today this afternoon ahead of Friday’s title bout in Atlantic City.

“Paws is in the best shape of his life,” said trainer Jesus Saeverin. “There’s no way this match lasts longer than four rounds.  Tops.”

While some kitty snuggling analysts have chided Saeverin for providing “bulletin board” material for Paws’ competitor, the kitty has every reason to be confident.  He’s 26-0 in his career and his last five bouts haven’t gone the distance.

Oddsmakers have Paws as a 6-1 favorite.
