Puppy Sinks Entire Life Savings Into Risky Real Estate Deal
Puppy Sinks Entire Life Savings Into Risky Real Estate Deal
Quentin, a Yorkshire Terrier from Walla Walla, WA has always been known as a conservative investor by his friends. That’s why everyone was surprised when he announced that he was putting all his money into a new hotel project on Baltic Avenue and a housing development on Marvin Gardens.
“Usually he just bides his time until he lands on Free Parking,” said close friend Andy Clemens. “So it was kind of a shock to see him go all in like this.”
Friends tried to dissuade the dog from spending so much on the projects, especially the hotel.
“Houses on Marvin Gardens can be flipped for a pretty penny if you do it right,” said Clemens, “but Baltic Ave isn’t a great part of town. A boutique hotel there just isn’t a smart investment.”
While Quentin will have most of his personal assets tied up in these two new projects, his family does also own a significant portion of the electric company.

Cat Sleeps Through Alarm for 3rd Straight Day
Cat Sleeps Through Alarm for 3rd Straight Day
A local cat is on thin ice with his employer after arriving late to work for three consecutive days. Smudge, pictured above, just can’t seem to wake up when his alarm clock goes off.
“Not sure if he’s sleeping so hard that he doesn’t hear it, or if he just forgets to set it properly the night before,” says his roommate Stanley Pincer. “His boss gave him one last chance, I really hope he doesn’t screw it up.”

Dog Turns Party Trick Into Traveling Roadshow
Dog Turns Party Trick Into Traveling Roadshow
A San Francisco, CA dog named Jack has long been a hit at family gatherings and cocktail parties.
“He can balance just about anything on his nose,” says Candice Yen, a source close to the situation. “Soup cans, footballs, cookies, you name it. People would give him a standing ovation at Game Night.”
It wasn’t long before Jack’s friend Mark Steinway saw an opportunity.
“I told him he’s too talented for these little parties,” Steinway tells The Fluffington Post. “He’s got to take that out on the road and make a name for himself.” Jack took Steinway’s advice, quitting his job in HR for a small publishing company and investing a chunk of his savings in a van, costumes, signage and a website.
“Stack on Jack was born, and we’re headed to 25 U.S. cities this summer,” says Steinway, who now serves as Jack’s tour manager. “There’s not a ton of money in these kinds of live shows, but we’re hoping for an endorsement deal to come through soon.”
