Pup Completes Tough Mudder in Record Time

When Dean the dog signed up last minute to compete in a Tough Mudder without any training, friends thought he was nuts. 

“There was no way he would be able to finish,” said close friend and Tough Mudder enthusiast Steph Wilson. “It’s not that he’s not in shape – he’s as active as the next dog. But this is different, plus, he never follows through. He came to CrossFit with me once, two years ago, and then bailed.”

But Dean lucked out. The course he signed up for turned out to be tailor-made for all his strengths.

“It almost wasn’t fair,” said Wilson. “All the obstacles were perfect for him. The frisbee catch, the puddle jump, the stick carry, the squirrel chase, the roll in smelly leaves… it was all stuff he’s great at.”

He finished with a canine course record time of  2h 21m.

Dog Buys Boat for Summer

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

When warm weather hits, most dogs are content with some fresh water and air conditioning.

Not Ollie.

Faced with yet another boring summer, the pup finally broke down and bought what he always said he’d buy – his very own boat.

“Yeah, he’s been mentioning it for years,” says Brent Milligan, a friend. “I never thought he’d actually do it.”

Furnished with doggie necessities, the vessel boasts a 25 hp engine, bucket seats and built-in GPS. There was one thing it didn’t include, however – a driver.

“That’s the thing with boats, unfortunately,” says Milligan. “He’s going to be really disappointed once he finds out.”
