Puppy Really Wanted That Last Piece a Pie

By Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

Astor, a black lab from Brooklyn with a flair for baking, brought a strawberry rhubarb pie to her friends’ Labor Day picnic on Long Island. The afternoon was a great success, but after the meal, Astor got wrapped up in a game of frisbee and never got a chance to taste the fruit of her labors.

After a thorough investigation, sources revealed that Jackson Jefferson ate the last slice before Astor had a chance to call dibs. The eight-­year-­old had already enjoyed a first slice when he chose to gobble up the final piece, but claimed that he didn’t mean to deprive the lab of his dessert.

“I asked twice if everybody had had some pie,” Jefferson said in his defense. “It’s not my fault if Astor didn’t hear me!”

Astor did not comment on his hurt feelings, but did stare mournfully at Jefferson for the remainder of the picnic.

Celebrity Pooch Hits Coney Island Incognito

By Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

Being a celebrity isn’t all red carpet premieres and designer threads. When you’re a public figure like Pugsy, host of the reality TV show Big Barker, just running out for a rawhide without causing a paparazzi swarm is almost impossible. FluffPo’s gossip column has just learned that Pugsy may be using disguises in order to escape his SoHo loft and roam the city in peace.

Today, he wanted to enjoy a last summertime hurrah without the stress of having photographers or fans in his face, so he opted for a clever costume.

FluffPo caught up with Pugsy’s rep, Maria Andrade, while the pup was in line for one of the popular roller coasters. “He just wants to be able to enjoy the boardwalk like a normal dog,” Andrade said. “So I came up with the idea of this disguise! We’ve been here for hours and nobody has recognized him!”

Suddenly, Andrade looked concerned. “Wait, is this on the record?”

Dog Attempts Camouflage, Fails

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Frank the dog did not want to go to the vet.

Rather than employing the same old tactics, however, he decided to try something a bit different – camouflage.

“He’d been watching some nature documentaries about animals that can blend in with their surroundings,” says owner Karen Black. “He thought it’d be easy to do the same thing.”

It wasn’t. Upon seeing Black with keys in hand, Frank darted to the nearest houseplant – only to be found seconds later.

“I guess you have to give him points for effort,” says Black. “It’s not his fault his sense of color is off. Still, it was funny watching him try to actually blend in.”

Black was not available for further comment as she had left to look for Frank, who was just lying on the carpet a second ago.
