Reformers Challenge ‘No Girls Allowed’ Rule at Raccoon Tree House
Reformers Challenge ‘No Girls Allowed’ Rule at Raccoon Tree House
For as long as it has existed, the raccoon tree house in the big oak tree has been a ‘No Girls Allowed’ club. But following the retirement of aging leader Benny, some are calling for reforms to long-held traditions.
“No girls allowed just doesn’t fly this day in age,” said Alison Vance, a spokesperson for the reform group. “This is a perfect time for the club to explore what qualities they want in a new leader, and an acceptance of female leaders should be a priority. It’s time to change.”
The club is expected to elect a new leader this week.

Laser-Eyed Cats Take Over Bedroom
The scene this morning is tense at the Murray household, where a group of four cats with lasers for eyes have taken over the downstairs master bedroom.
“We all got up early to go get waffles at Breakfast Nook,” explained family matriarch, Sue Murray, via the phone. “When we got back, the bedroom door was shut, and I thought to myself, ‘That’s strange. I don’t recall shutting this.’”
When Murray opened the door, she found that the room had been taken over by the laser cats.
The police have called in a S.W.A.T. team and are attempting to make contact with the kitties.

STUDY: Pilates Growing In Popularity Among Dogs
STUDY: Pilates Growing In Popularity Among Dogs
Sparky, a puppy from Boston, MA, thinks he may have finally found a way to stay in shape that he’ll really enjoy: pilates. According to a new study from Ohio State University, he’s not alone.
The study found that pilates is on the rise among puppies aged 2-5, especially in the Northeast.
“We’re finding that dogs really enjoy pilates, but more importantly, that they stick with it,” said lead author, Whitney Jones, a Ph. D. student in kinesiology. The study found that pilates enrollment is up 40% among pups since 2011 and dogs are sticking with it an average of six months.
As for Sparky, the puppy has been having trouble sticking to any one single exercise routine or program, but thinks pilates will work long term.
“He would would start out great, but then get bored of exercising and peter out,” said friend Carson McKeel. “With pilates, he has all those balls and foam blocks to play with. He loves it!”
