Westie Turns Balloon Animal Talents Into Business Venture

Arthur the Westie always loved making balloon animals.

“It was just a hobby for a long time,” says Melanie Lindberg, a source close to the situation.

But at a child’s recent birthday party, Arthur began to entertain the kids with his quirky blend of balloon shapes and screwball comedy.

“The kids ate it up,” Lindberg recounts. “They couldn’t stop laughing. Everyone kept shouting, ‘More! More!’ ”

On the heels of that success, Arthur went into business mode. So far, Westie World Entertainment, Inc. has locked down seven gigs in June alone.

“The phone is ringing off the hook,” says Marty Prince, who now manages Arthur’s busy calendar. “We’re going to need to start hiring some more help ASAP.”

Local Terrier Demands Watermelon

A Boston terrier named Maverick has been camped out for hours in the hope that he might score a slice of watermelon.

“Of course he wants watermelon,” says Heidi Colms, who witnessed the standoff. “It’s the perfect summer snack.”

Sources close to the situation tell The Fluffington Post it’s unlikely Maverick will achieve his goal, but it’s possible the media attention will drive awareness around this issue so that future pups may enjoy the delicious treat.
