Local Dog Getting a Little Too Into Craft Beers

Local Dog Getting a Little Too Into Craft Beers

by Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

After trying his first Belgian import at a party, local dog Fritz has become obsessed with craft beers. He’s a regular at The Frisky Beagle, where he’s been getting an education in microbrews from bartender Leah Fairbanks.

“Fritz is one of our best customers,” Fairbanks told The Fluffington Post. “He’s always down for a flight and sampling whatever’s new on tap.”

Owner Max Schneider has started joining Fritz on his outings to The Frisky Beagle, if only to be a responsible influence.

“Even after a crazy night of partying, he’ll still insist on having a cold one with breakfast,” Schneider said. “I keep telling him that ‘hair of the dog’ actually isn’t a good thing, but he just barks at me and downs a pint.”

Cat Apartment Building Now Has Wait List

Cat Apartment Building Now Has Wait List

Kitty Place, the new low-rise apartment building catering specifically to feline sensibilities that opened last month in the downtown arts district, already has a wait list. 

According to the developer, the 65 unit building began leasing late last year and was nearly to capacity even before it opened. The last apartment went under contract over the weekend and a wait list has begun to fill up.

“There’s a huge demand for affordable, cat-sized housing in downtown,” said project manager Muriel Casbo. “Kitty Place has all the amenities a cat could want: 24-hour concierge, communal napping rooms, scratchable walls, a sun spot in every apartment.”

A planned high-rise condominium project, Feline Towers, lost funding during the housing market collapse of 2008, but the success of Kitty Place may put it back on track.

Cat Caught Breaking Into White House

Cat Caught Breaking Into White House

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

According to government sources, Coco the cat is currently being questioned in relation to an attempted break in early this morning. The target? None other than 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

“We caught her on camera digging under the fence, and then, when that didn’t work, just hopping over it,” said special agent Chris Tyler. “She’s been a very bad kitty.”

Though rare, animal altercations with the President have become an increasingly prevalent issue. Readers may recall an incident earlier this year when a grizzly bear interrupted a state dinner and refused to leave.

“We don’t believe this would have been as severe,” said Tyler. “That’s besides the point, though. We treat all threats equally.”

As a first-time offender, Coco could face a lesser sentence, even more so if she agrees to a plea.

“We’re taking it one step at a time,” said Tyler. “I’ll tell you one thing – she’s not helping her case by not talking.”

President Obama was reported to be in the White House at the time of the break in, with his dogs, Bo and Sunny.
