Chipmunk Blown Away by Olympic Opening Ceremonies
As soon as Carl tuned into the broadcast of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies, he was glued to his TV. The chipmunk from Trout Lake, MN was “blown away” by the artistry and narrative, according to friends.
“Carl was really floored,” says Roslyn Baltz, a source close to the situation. “I think I caught him tearing up during the Mary Poppins part.”

Cat’s Online Shopping Addiction Leads to Bankruptcy
A cat named Sparky from Rahway, NJ has racked up a debt of $36,000 after a four-day binge on ecommerce sites like Amazon and Zappos.
“Piles of boxes just started showing up at our apartment, maybe 10 to 15 per day,” says Ken Philips, Sparky’s roommate. “I asked him if he could afford all this stuff, but he wasn’t worried at the time.”
When the compound interest on his credit cards started kicking in, that’s when Sparky knew he was in trouble. The cat filed for bankruptcy within four months, and the online retailers are in the process of reclaiming their goods.
“You’ve got to live within your means,” says Philips. “I think this was a big lesson for Sparky.”

Tensions Run High In Backyard Standoff
Sources on the ground near the patio door are reporting that a three-hour standoff between cat and dog factions has grown in intensity.
“The cats are holding their ground firm,” says Clinton Selvy, a witness who is observing from a save distance. “They won’t let the dogs back into the house. But the dogs are holding the line, likely as a matter of pride.”
There are unconfirmed rumors that the dogs may attempt to sneak in, perhaps through the side door.
