Golden Retriever Opens Doggie Driving School
Golden Retriever Opens Doggie Driving School
Packing up your pooch for a drive to the vet or groomer can be a pain. Why can’t dogs drive themselves to their own appointments?
That’s the question (and market demand) Roxy hopes to address. The golden retriever cut the ribbon on her new business, Doggie Drivers’ Ed, and her student roster is already filling up.
“Am I concerned about having dogs – who can’t tell the difference between food and their own puke – driving on our nation’s highways?” asks Luke Childress. “You bet. Did I sign my terrier Jonesy up for driving classes? Absolutely. I’m tired of driving him to soccer practice every morning. He’s old enough to afford some independence.”

Cat Re-Opens Diplomatic Relations With North Korea
Cat Re-Opens Diplomatic Relations With North Korea
Belligerent rhetoric from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un heated up over the weekend, with threats against South Korea and the U.S. flying furiously.
Concerned for the welfare of his nation, a cat named Lilo worked his contacts in Washington and was able to get a direct line to Pyongyang with the hope of cooling tensions.
“He figured if Dennis Rodman could do it, he might as well try,” says Jerry Rusbacher, a friend of the cat who teaches international relations at Florida State University. Rusbacher is referring to the unfettered access granted to the former NBA star when he visited Mr. Kim earlier in March, which perplexed many analysts. “Not sure how much progress Lilo made, but it sounds like he and Kim Jong-un had a productive conversation.”

Though she only just announced her one-night-only performance at Lincoln Center in New York City, Missy the hamster has already oversold the venue, drawing classical music enthusiasts from around the region.
Her concert will feature Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, and there is talk of a special guest appearance.
“I really hope it’s Yo-Yo Ma,” says Ashley DePalo, one of the lucky fans who scored tickets. “I saw them play together in Colorado Springs. It was amazing.”
