Meerkat Middle Child Ruins Family Photo

Dr. and Mrs. Moorehouse just wanted a classic family portrait. The well-to-do meerkat couple made arrangements with the desert’s best photographer, AJ Felps.

“The kids were well behaved at first,” Felps tells The Fluffington Post. “Everyone lined up and gave their best smiles. But then one of them started acting out.”

Felps is referring to Clayton, the middle pup, who began making faces and fidgeting during the photo shoot.

“It’s classic middle child syndrome,” says Felps. “I see it all the time. But Dr. Moorehouse had a good father-son talk with him, and got him to settle down.”

However, a source tells The Fluffington Post that Moorehouse promised Clayton ice cream in exchange for good behavior.

Chipmunk Triathlete Accused of Doping

Chipmunk Triathlete Accused of Doping

World-class chipmunk triathlete Cheeks Malone, has been accused by the Federation of International Rodent Athletics of using banned performance enhancing substances.  Though Malone has yet to test positive for any illegal agent, FIRA indicates that numerous first-hand reports from former teammates and trainers implicate the chipmunk in doping.

“These accusations are baseless and without warrant,” said a spokesperson for Malone.  "Cheeks has never knowingly taken any illegal performance enhancers.  He is a natural talent who trains hard and competes on his own merits.“

If found guilty by FIRA, Malone could be banned from competing at the Olympics in London later this year, where he plans to represent the United States as a distance runner and cyclist.

Cat Picks Cruise Destination on a Whim

Harold K. Thuman (of the Cambridge Thumans) loves to travel. The cat takes cruises nearly every season, and with autumn on the way, it’s time to get a September voyage on the books.

But Thuman is not a meticulous planner. He leaves his destination to chance by spinning the globe. Where his paw lands is anybody’s guess. This fall he’ll be taking in the lovely sights and sounds of Newark, NJ.
