English Bulldog Wins Beauty Contest
Gidget, a bulldog puppy from San Clamente, CA, has emerged victorious in the Long Beach Bulldog Beauty Contest.
While the talent portion was a little touch-and-go (plate spinning is not her forte), Gidget did wow the judges in the costume parade. Her theme: “Gidget Goes Hawaiian.”

Clothing Company Awarded Patent for Greatest Kitten T-Shirt of All Time
The U.S. Patent Office is notoriously cautious in awarding legal ownership of superlative intellectual property. Previous bids for “Greatest Waffle Iron Ever” and “Sweetest Bill Cosby Impression” have been rebuffed on grounds of subjectivity.
However, in what some are calling a game-changing move, the office has granted The Mountain T-Shirt Store a patent for “The Greatest Kitten T-Shirt of All Time” (pictured above).
“It’s fairly cut and dry,” says Norman Aquillar, senior patent examiner in Washington, DC. “This is literally the greatest kitten T-shirt that has ever been made. We would be remiss to deny IP protection of something that is so universally and undeniably true.”
Area Cat May Suffer From Social Anxiety Disorder
Psychologists are debating whether to formally diagnose a very shy local cat with social anxiety disorder.
“On the one hand, he may benefit from the treatment that comes with a diagnosis,” says Dr. Roman Gannet. “On the other hand, he may just like keeping to himself. On the other hand, he is a cat.”
