Hamster Masters the Fine Art of Chillaxing
Mario the hamster knows how to relax. On a recent afternoon, Mario was caught by the paparazzi hanging out in his tub, munching on a carrot, seemingly without a care in the world.
“That hamster is always chillin’ like a villain,” said Us Weekly editor Ariana Gribaldi, trotting out a descriptive classic. “That’s why our readers love him so much – everyone wants to be able to hang out with Mario.”

Puppy Successfully Plays for 5 Hours Straight
Bianca had been cooped up in the house all weekend due to rain, so on Monday afternoon when the sun finally came out, her mother kicked her out with instructions not to come back until dinner. Always a headstrong and confident puppy, Bianca wasn’t fazed. Five hours of play? Easy.
It was a lot harder than she anticipated.
“By around 4 PM she started to drag,” said neighbor Willis Thompson. "I could tell she wasn’t used to this kind of extended playing – she clearly hasn’t been training.“
Bianca rallied, though, and was able to make it the full five hours until dinner at 6 o’clock. The exhausted dog ate two full bowls of puppy chow before going to sleep.
"I don’t blame her mother,” said Thompson. “A puppy that’s been indoors all weekend can get mighty fussy. But I think Bianca bit off more than she could chew. She’ll definitely stretch before trying to play that much in the future. I’m sure she’ll be feeling this one tomorrow.”

Cat Union Local 402 Elects New Leader
After a bitter and some say divisive election, Annabelle has emerged as the new president of the Cat Union Local 402. The 402 is a large union, consisting of all four kitty brothers and sisters in the house, as well as the tabby next door and the Scottish Fold across the street and the American Shorthair twins two houses down.
As chapter president, Annabelle’s number one agenda item is increasing the length of nap time in the afternoon and securing a right of way to the food dish from the dogs who guard the kitchen. Annabelle has made it known that the cats are willing to strike en masse if their demands aren’t met.

Cocker Spaniels Set Guinness Record for Longest Cuddle
Siblings Lilly and Marshall have broken the world record for longest cuddle after holding an embrace for 26 days, 7 hours and 17 minutes. The cocker spaniels have been training for a little more than a year.
“They kept getting close, but losing their grip toward the end,” their coach Martin Fielding tells The Fluffington Post. “We’re thrilled that they nailed it in front of the Guinness people.”
