Out of Work Dog Starting to ‘Get Weird’

Out of Work Dog Starting to ‘Get Weird’

Friends are starting to get concerned about Tawny, a Shiba Inu pup who has been out of work for seven months. Pups say the dog, who was laid off from her job as a dog food taster last year, has stopped looking for a job.

“She doesn’t even leave the house anymore,” said Tony Malkoff, the dog’s across the hall neighbor. “She gets her food from FreshDirect, everything else from Amazon. Most of the day I think she just sits in her apartment watching Netflix.”

But it’s not the reclusive behavior that has friends worried, it’s what Tawny is doing behind closed doors.

“Last night she invited my wife and I over for dinner,” said Malkoff, “and when we arrived, she wanted us to participate in a scene-by-scene reenactment of 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. That movie wasn’t even very good. Plus, she wanted me to be Stryker. That makes no sense.”

GARDEN TIP: Plant Your Guinea Pigs Now

Spring is finally here, which means it’s time to start planting your cool-weather crops, if you haven’t done so already. Lettuce and broccoli are seasonal favorites, but don’t overlook guinea pigs!

Whether starting from seeds or sprouts, start your pigs in a small pot in a warm, but shady spot. Avoid direct sunlight if possible. Be sure to water your pigs daily, and use plenty of carrot tops, celery and lettuce as fertilizer.

In about 2-3 weeks, you should see some new growth. After the fourth week, your pigs should be ready to transplant into a small pig pen, lined with cedar chips and an exercise wheel. Enjoy!

Kitten Loses Hide-and-Seek Tournament in Semi-Final Round

Many fans of the Gold Cup Hide-and-Seek Tournament, held annually in Peoria, IL, were excited about the prospects of a new contender – a fresh-faced kitten named Gus.

“Gus had everything going for him,” says Daniel Gibson, a writer for Sports Illustrated who has covered the Gold Cup for five years running. “He’s very small, very quiet and very grey. In short, easy to hide.”

But an upset came in the semi-final round, where Gus took a chance on a bowl that was just too shallow.

“He realized his mistake right away,” says Gibson. “But at that point, it was too late. Best he could do was ride out the decision. They found him about 12 seconds later, and he was eliminated.”
