Dog Family Scrutinized for Permanent Frown 

by Ashley Welter, FluffPo Correspondent

Chicago residents Spike and Joan Miller have come under fire recently due to their permanently less-than-thrilled appearance. However, sources close to the family insist that they are indeed very happy. 

Betty Silverman, 78, lives next door to the Millers on Partridge Ave just outside of downtown Chicago. In an exclusive interview, Silverman told The Fluffington Post, “I’ve lived on this street for 30 years, and the Millers are one of the nicest families I’ve ever met. If anyone judges them by their looks, well shame on them!”

The dogs moved to the Chicago just a few months after their first pup Billy was born, so that he would have access to the best academic and athletic programs in the state.  

“Miller’s a bright kid,” said Karl Voigt, the football coach at Granite Ridge Academy, where Billy attends. “He’s got a great arm, too. Honestly, I thought grumpy was ‘in’ these days."

Local Dog Is Unimpressed With Wine Selection

Einar, a 3-year-old French Bulldog who recently moved from Norway to Brooklyn, NY, has so far been unimpressed with the wine selection at local restaurants.

“He heard New York was a foodie town,” said friend Kilian Meyer. “He was excited to sample the local fare.”

But so far, said Meyer, the dog hasn’t been thrilled by what he’s found. 

“The food has been to his liking, I think,” he said, “but the wine pairings have been awful. I mean, yesterday he ordered a can of beef and peas Pedigree and the sommelier paired it with a Riesling. Seriously? Everyone knows you need a full-bodied red for that.”
