Puppy’s Home Perm Experiment Goes Awry

Puppy’s Home Perm Experiment Goes Awry

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Fritz the puppy had been preparing for weeks for his speaking engagement at the local Rotary Club. Even so, he still didn’t feel quite ready.  

“There was something missing,” says Hank Fellows, a source close to the situation. “He needed the perfect hairstyle.”

With hours to spare, Fritz decided he only had one option: A home perm kit from 1987. Unfortunately, the results left much to be desired.

“It probably would have benefited him to read the instructions,” says Fellows. “He didn’t let the activator set before he washed it – big beginner’s mistake. It looked awful. He wasn’t happy at all.”

Fortunately, Fritz was able to reschedule the speech.

“He said he got food poisoning,” says Fellows. “Guess that worked for them.”

Cat Loses Laptop

Cat Loses Laptop

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Oliver the cat knew he shouldn’t have taken his new MacBook on the bus. Even in its clearly marked tote bag, the laptop was all too easily forgotten when Oliver got off at his stop last weekend.

“I couldn’t believe he would just forget it like that – he’s only had the thing for a month,” says Dan Welker, a source close to the cat.

Despite filing a claim with the local bus company, Oliver has yet to see his computer. As one would imagine, things just haven’t been the same.

“He’ll go to Starbucks, but he won’t know what to do,” says Welker. “Normally, he’d have his MacBook with him. Now he just sits there, waiting for his coffee to boot up. It’s actually pretty sad to watch.”

Chihuahua Toots in Team Meeting, Human Blamed for Smell

By Stacie Grissom, BarkBox Blogger

When 7-year-old Cricket Bean ate a piece of avocado out of the office trash can, she had no idea the havoc it would wreak on her tiny digestive system. 

“We were sitting in the BarkBox office debating the imperative engineering qualities of the perfect squeaky toy when I smelled a smell so foul that I naturally assumed it was of a human source,” says Danielle Maveal, Cricket’s office mate. “I wrongfully accused my co-worker Rob, and our relationship hasn’t recovered since.”

No word if Cricket Bean plans to scavenge future snacks from the office trash.

Home-Schooled Kitten Wins Scritch National Spelling Bee

Home-Schooled Kitten Wins Scritch National Spelling Bee

By mirandate, FluffPo Correspondent

It’s official. Another home-schooled kitten has taken the top prize at the 86th Annual Scritch National Spelling Bee. Geneva, a Russian Blue whose parents home school her in Lansing, Michigan, won the bee late in the fourth round when 8-year-old Hannah Lewis of Nebraska was eliminated on the word “shwarmerei." 

Spelling coach Roslyn Morgenstern tells The Fluffington Post, "Geneva has been training hard for this moment almost from the moment she was weaned. That being said, I do think she got a little lucky when they gave her ‘klnnnnnnnmmkoiii’ as the last word. She almost slipped up and only spelled it with only six N’s.”

Dog Reenacts Historic Chariot Battles

By mirandate, FluffPo Correspondent

Astro, a dog from Alpharetta, GA, has recently become involved in his local chapter of SCA, the Society for Creative Anachronism. As a new member, he is participating in local re-enactments of historic battles. 

Chapter president Alton Suther said, “Astro is a very helpful new member of the SCA. Although his primary interest is in ancient warfare and chariots, he’s been a big help at other re-enactments, too. He’s great at fetching historic swords and sticks. I just don’t have the heart to tell him that dogs didn’t actually ride chariots in ancient Greece. Oh, well.”
