Retriever Wows Collectors at Pine Cone Convention
Retriever Wows Collectors at Pine Cone Convention
The International Pine Cone Collectors Association (IPCCA) held its annual convention in St. Louis, MO this week, and attendees enjoyed a rare treat.
“A golden retriever brought in the largest collection of jumbo cones I’d ever seen,” says Margie Wolcott, who has attended the convention every year since 1985. “The color, the texture – I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Designer Debuts ‘Short & Stout’ Bulldog Clothing Line
Designer Debuts ‘Short & Stout’ Bulldog Clothing Line
Fashion designer Cara Swig knows all dogs aren’t long and lean.
“Some dogs have curves, and they should be proud of that,” Swig tells The Fluffington Post. “But it’s not always easy for plumper pups to find clothes that fit well.”
As such, Swig has debuted her new line of dogwear called “The Short & Stout Collection,” available exclusively at Target.
“They’re really cut with bulldogs in mind, but any portly pooch should find something to suit his or her taste,” says Swig.
The line goes on sale June 5th.

Ferret Scholar Proposes Radical New Form of Government
Ferret Scholar Proposes Radical New Form of Government
Dr. Kenneth Geller, professor of political science at Dartmouth College and obvious ferret, has published a controversial paper that outlines a new governmental structure.
“He calls it Ferretocracy,” says James Goodwell, a graduate student who assisted Dr. Geller with his research. “Basically, ferrets rule over everyone with a benevolent but iron will. It’s kind of like Plato’s Philosopher King. But with ferrets.”
So far, the theory has not been well received in academic circles.
“It’s a nice idea, but it doesn’t account for ferret nature,” says Roger Kemnitzer, noted author and political analyst. “If you concentrate too many ferrets at the top, you run the risk of corruption. Without checks and balances, a ferret oligarchy could run amok, and you’d be back in the dark ages,” he explains. “But with ferrets.”
