Local Pug Too Young to Date, Say Adoptive Parents

Little Belle the pug was adopted by her family just over a year ago on her first birthday. Now two, the pug is beginning to grow up. But even though she’s older, she’s still too young to date, say her parents.

“Look, I know she has a huge crush on this Akita in her class, but Belle is just not old enough for dating,” said Carol Kessler, who adopted the the dog last year. “Maybe when she’s three, but two is too young. End of discussion.”

We’re told that Belle has locked herself in her room and is listening to nothing but Dashboard Confessional.

REPORT: Prairie Dogs Are Lousy Secret Keepers

According to new research from Pepperdine University, prairie dogs are among the worst at keeping secrets in the entire animal kingdom. The species topped the list of most loose-lipped animals.

“Prairie dogs are loquacious by nature,” said study author Dr. Greg Papprikash. “They love to gossip and they can’t help trading juicy bits of information.  As a result, they’re really crummy at keeping confidences.”

Also in the top five: whales, moths, polecats and arctic puffins.

Guinea Pig Wins Homemade Taco Competition

Guinea Pig Wins Homemade Taco Competition

An area guinea pig named Nacho has won a national homemade taco competition run by the Food Network.  His recipe for a bacon, lettuce and tomato taco won raves among judges and will be featured in an upcoming Food Network cookbook.

“Everyone loves bacon, so putting bacon in was almost like cheating. It’s like putting truffle oil on something,” explained judge and Food Network producer Wiley Kinnis. “So we probably actually judged Nacho’s entry harder than the others.”

But Kinnis said that Nacho really knocked it out of the park with his chipotle aioli.  

“Man the [expletive] aioli,” he said. “I still have dreams about it.”

Lamb’s Winter Look Sparks Interest From Paris, Milan

The chilly winter air prompted a Watkins Glen, NY sheep to bundle up her lamb on the way to school one morning. The duo was snapped by a fashion photographer, and the lamb’s chic jacket has been circulating in designer circles from New York to Paris to Milan.

“A lamb already wears a coat of wool,” says fashion writer Monique Rivera. “To wear a jacket on top of that is such a bold statement. It’s brave, is what it is.”

Fashion blogs are already speculating about the lines that may emerge from this single photo, though it may be spring before anything hits the runway.
