Long-Distance Relationship Is Hard for Bulldog Couple
Long-Distance Relationship Is Hard for Bulldog Couple
When Haldo the bulldog was assigned to a six-month post in Abu Dhabi for work, he was worried about the effect it would have on his then-new relationship with fellow dog Annabelle. Now 14 weeks into his assignment, things are going better than expected.
“It’s still really hard on both of them,” said Lachlan Tripp, a coworker at Haldo’s company. “But they’re also closer than they were at the start, if that makes sense.”
The two pups spend at least an hour each night using Google Hangouts to chat. Coordinating across timezones (Annabelle is in Denver, CO) can be difficult, but they have so far made it work.
When Haldo’s work assignment ends in a couple of months, they are planning to take a vacation together to the Dominican Republic.

Cat and Guinea Pig College Roommates Not Getting Along
Cat and Guinea Pig College Roommates Not Getting Along
A guinea pig named Cam and a cat named Frasier have feuding. The two college roommates have been at each other’s necks since January, when a housing lottery put Cam in Frasier’s room. The cat had previously been alone in his double occupancy room.
“Frasier was really enjoying the bachelor life, living in his oversized single,” said mutual friend Nathaniel Nesbit. “He was really set in his ways and Cam has just gummed up the gears.”
According to Nesbit, the two most often fight about trivial things, like the placement of art, which opera to listen to while studying, or whether to catch up on the This American Life podcast during breakfast or supper.
“It’s funny – they’re actually a lot alike,” said Nesbit. “If they could just get beyond their petty bickering, I bet they’d be good friends.”

REPORT: Area Dog Needs a Bath
REPORT: Area Dog Needs a Bath
According to multiple reports from the backyard, a local dog named Domino is in dire need of a bath.
“He’s been out there digging holes and flopping around in the mud for three hours,” said one onlooker. “There’s no doubt about it: That’s one dirty Scottie.”
It’s unclear when Domino will get a bath or how much cleanup will cost, but there are unconfirmed reports that he won’t be let into the house until he’s at least been hosed down.
