Dog Is Enjoying Retired Life
Dog Is Enjoying Retired Life
Last year, when Crowley retired from his job as a mailman harrier, he wasn’t sure what he would do to pass his time. “It was forced retirement,” says long-time friend Olga Thornton. "He didn’t want to leave, but if he wanted to collect his pension, he had to.“
These days, though, Crowley is loving the retired life. He’s recently completed a move to Boca Raton, FL, where he spends most of his time by the pool, at the buffet, or tearing up the shuffle board court (literally – he loves to chew on it).
"If you’d told me three months ago that Crowley would love being retired, I’d have laughed,” says Thornton. “He was always so dedicated to his work, and full of energy. But he’s really taken a shine to the lifestyle. I think these are the best years of his life.”

Area Cat Does All His Own Stunts
In an effort to dispel the rumors that he has been using a stunt double and elaborate computer effects, a local cat named Stuttgart has put out a series of photos and videos detailing his stunt work. An expert in photographic forensics employed by The Fluffington Post confirms that the videos and pictures have not been altered: Stuttgart appears to be doing all the stunts himself.
“Stuttgart takes his craft very seriously,” said his agent, Alan Greenberg, in a statement. “He has always performed his own action sequences and will continue to do so.”

Tiny Finch Joins NBC’s ‘Today’ as Weather Bird
Tiny Finch Joins NBC’s ‘Today’ as Weather Bird
In what industry insiders are calling a completely unexpected move, NBC has hired a tiny finch with little on-air experience to handle weather updates for the third hour of Today each morning. Prior to landing this national gig, the finch was a weather analyst for NBC 5 in Dallas-Forth Worth, TX and a production assistant at a CBS affiliate in Oklahoma City, OK.
“I’m shocked,” said Tom Anders, a writer for Variety. "With so many talented on-air meteorologists to pull from at both the Weather Channel and NBC’s vast affiliate network, to hire a completely untested finch is completely baffling. Still, I wish him the best.“
