Dog Concerned ‘Frankenstorm’ Could Cancel Trick-or-Treating

Area dog Toby is concerned that the massive pre-Halloween storm bearing down on the East coast of the United States could interrupt his plans for Halloween fun.

“He’s not really concerned about power outages, downed trees or flooding,” said friend Jaime Bruckman.  "Toby already boarded up his dog house and has a stock pile of bottled water and beef jerky. He’s prepared. No, what’s really got him worried is that Hurricane Sandy might disrupt trick-or-treating on Wednesday.“

Toby is apparently a huge fan of Halloween.  "He lives for October 31,” said Bruckman.  "He put a ton of effort into his wizard costume this year and he’ll be crushed if he can’t go door-to-door with it.“

Twin Cats Always Mirror Each Other in Sleep

Twin Cats Always Mirror Each Other in Sleep

Scientists are baffled by twin cats, Merry and Pippin, who reportedly always sleep in an exact mirror image of one another.  

“Even if we place them in disparate starting positions or in separate rooms, they somehow always wind up sleeping exactly like the other,” said leading cat biologist and feline sleep expert Dr. Tobias Winslow.  "I’ve never seen anything like it.“

A polysomnogram revealed nothing out of the ordinary about the cats’ brain functions, eye movements, muscle activity, breathing or heart rhythms.  "We had expected to find that Merry and Pip were synched up on an internal level,” explained Winslow, “but it is literally just in the way they position their bodies for slumber.”

More tests will be done later this month during a scheduled comprehensive sleep study.
