Pug Becomes Living Billboard to Make Holiday Cash
Pug Becomes Living Billboard to Make Holiday Cash
Hamilton the pug needed some holiday spending money, so the intrepid dog hatched a plan to become a living billboard on the Internet.
“He already had a fairly sizable Instragram following,” said his close friend, Tory Smythe. “So he leveraged that to spread the message about his services.”
Hamilton hasn’t yet closed a deal, but Smythe said he’s had plenty of interest from retailers interested in doing some extra Christmas marketing.
Editor’s Note: This pug really is named Hamilton, but he’s not selling his marketing services to earn spending money – the photo above was actually part of a campaign to raise money for the Curly Tail Pug Rescue and the Ohio Pug Rescue (his rescuers!). Please consider donating, and follow Hamilton on Instagram.

Guinea Pig Refuses to Upgrade to Windows 8
Guinea Pig Refuses to Upgrade to Windows 8
A 5-year-old guinea pig named Plumca (short for “Plumcake”) is reportedly the last hold-out in her office when it comes to upgrading her PC.
“She absolutely refuses to make the jump to Windows 8,” says Tom Halifax, the Director of IT at Coleridge Mutual Insurance Co. “I mean, I can’t really blame her. Windows 7 is a beautiful OS. And what’s up with the whole ‘Metro’ thing? Who needs that? But still, the latest updates close a lot of security holes in our network.”
Plumca’s resistance has included hunger strikes and chaining herself to her laptop.
“I’m not sure they can fire her over it,” says Judy Crosshaven, a co-worker. “But she’s not making the bosses happy, that’s for sure.”
