Puppy Starts Homemade Pesto Business

Puppy Starts Homemade Pesto Business

Pesto is great. You can put it on pasta, you can put it on sandwiches, you can just dip Italian bread in it.

A love of pesto is what’d driving Humphrey the mastiff puppy to put all his savings into a new business venture: Presto Pesto.

“Humphrey has planted a large basil garden in the backyard,” said the dog’s business partner Tony Maggliotti. “He plans to use his own, homegrown basil and to locally source parmesan cheese. But the secret ingredient? He’ll be using pistachios instead of pine nuts.  It’s delicious.”

Humphrey will ship his first batch of Presto Pesto in June.

Cat to Star in Cymbalta Commercial

Cat to Star in Cymbalta Commercial

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Frankie the cat rarely goes outside. He also sleeps up to 16 hours a day. Naturally, he was the perfect subject for Cymbalta’s latest television ad.

“We wanted to show people the real face of depression,” says Dustin Gregory, spokesperson for Eli Lilly & Co, the drugmaker behind the antidepressant. “Frankie embodied that morose, melancholy outlook better than any of the humans we’d considered. He was made for this role.”

For his audition, Frankie had to stare blankly out a window and appear “despondent” and “listless.”

“He nailed it,” says Gregory. “You could tell he’d been feeling this way for a long time. Or maybe it was just him being a cat. To be honest, we really don’t know.”

Dog Masters Upward Facing Dog

Dog Masters Upward Facing Dog

Though it is one of the most widely known and oft-used yoga posts, Upward Facing Dog is, ironically, extremely difficult for canines to perform. That’s why a local dog named Rusty was so psyched when he finally mastered the pose over the weekend.

“He’s been coming to my class for about five months,” said yoga instructor Katrina Light. “So far he had only been able to perfect child’s pose and, oddly enough, the cat pose. Both of the dogs, downward and upward, were giving him trouble.”

That all changed on Saturday, when Rusty busted out Upward Facing Dog and held it for three minutes.

“We were all really proud. I guess he’s been practicing at home,” said Light.
