Bakery Employs Puppy Taste Tester

Bakery Employs Puppy Taste Tester

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

When it comes to new items, New York’s Dominique Ansel Bakery doesn’t take any chances. The famed patisserie recently hired a Golden Retriever puppy named Paisley to test its sweet treats before they hit the shelves. The results, as they say, speak for themselves.  

“So far, she’s liked everything,” says head pastry chef Michael Cortis. “The DKA and Salted Pistachio Religieuse both tested exceptionally well. If it’s good enough for Paisley, it’s usually good enough for customers.”

The discerning pup has first dibs on nearly everything the bakery sells – except the world-famous Cronut.

“Oh, we don’t let her test those,” says Cortis. “She has to wait in line like everybody else.”

Confused Bunny Thinks He’s a Cat

Confused Bunny Thinks He’s a Cat

by Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

Carrot has spent so much time looking at cat videos online that he has started adopting several feline activities. Close friend Ryan Mars took him to the local clinic after frequently finding him curled up in bowls, vases, and boxes.

“It was really weird,” Mars said. “Carrot would get himself into cat-like places and then be stuck. He’s a bunny after all, they’re not really known for being agile and flexible. So it seemed like he needed help, for his own safety.”

Behavioral psychologist Naima Patel said this scenario was an increasingly common experience among those who spent more than five hours a day looking at cat-related content.

“This is not an isolated case,” she said. “I once had a goat in here trying to purr. That was a weird day.”

Cat’s Closet Organizing Business Folds

Cat’s Closet Organizing Business Folds

According to a Facebook post, Luna the cat has decided to shutter her closet organizing business after just four months. 

The business got off to a hot start after the cat invested heavily in a local advertising and PR blitz at launch. 

“She spent a lot on full page ads in the local alt-weekly and got a five minute spot on the evening news right after she opened,” said friend and business advisor Mina Kravitz. Luna also built a fruitful referral partnership with the nearby branch of The Container Store. “She was overbooked almost instantly." 

But then the negative Yelp reviews started to roll in.

"She was great at organizing a closet, but her client’s clothes kept getting mysteriously shredded,” explained Kravitz. “In the end, she was paying out on so many damage claims she had to just close up shop.”
