Golden Retriever Announces Bid for City Council
In an address to constituents on Wednesday, a golden retriever named Yuuko officially announced that she will run for city council.
“Yuuko’s top concerns are jobs and rising property taxes,” says Jon Combs, the dog’s campaign manager. “No one will fight harder for the middle class than she will.”
But she may not have to fight too hard for the job. The incumbent, Mark Cambria, has reached his term limit, and as of this writing, Yuuko is running unopposed.

Dog Mom Inks Reality Show Deal
By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent
In what’s being called “a major deal” by industry sources, Lucille the dog has signed an exclusive contract with the TLC network to star in her own reality series. She won’t be alone, as her eight newborn puppies will also be prominently featured.
Tentatively titled Lucille Plus Eight, the series will chronicle the joys and struggles of raising a decidedly adorable brood.
“We’ve never done anything like this before,” says Keith Newsom, Vice President of Programming. “It seemed like a no-brainer, though. Busy moms will really identify with Lucille. And those puppies? America will know their names by heart.”

DESIGN TIP: Stagger Cats for Dramatic Effect
When most people hang cats, they do so in a straight horizontal or vertical line across their available wall space. But design expert Carly Dorochovich says that’s a mistake.
“Achieving a dramatic designer effect at home is as simple as staggering your cats along the wall,” says Dorochovich. "Simply hang your cats at alternating heights to create a much more textured wall look. Your focal wall will seem much more exciting as a result.“
