Puppy Strikes the Tennis Ball Motherlode
A puppy named Dexter has acquired what local media is reporting as the “biggest haul of tennis balls ever purchased at an estate sale.”
“He really hit the jackpot,” said Terrence Winnell, an appraiser of antique sports equipment. “I mean, I’ve never seen a trove of balls like that. And for what he paid? It’s unheard of.”
The dog is reportedly planning to “play his tail off” over the next few months and chew each ball to smithereens.
In addition to the balls, the estate Dexter purchased included a number of rare books and first editions, which he also plans to chew.

Kitty Rights Group Protests ‘Cat Hats’
Feline rights groups are up in paws over an alarming new fashion trend among dogs: cat hats. The style started showing up in Paris last fall, but has begun to spread to other parts of the globe. At least one cat hat boutique has opened up in Brooklyn, NY in the past month.
Felines for Universal Rights (FUR), an advocacy group that works for equal rights for all fluffy animals, has vehemently opposed the trend.
“It’s barbaric,” said Stephanie Day, a spokesperson for the group. “Cats are living, breathing creatures – they are not fashion accessories.”
No one in the cat hat industry could be reached for comment at press time.
