Puppy’s Calendar Is Completely Booked

8am, walk. 8:30am, bark at squirrel. 9am, kibble. 10am, play with ball. 11:30, chew on bone. Noon, dog park. And that’s just half the day. It’s easy to see that Chili the dog’s social calendar is completely packed.

“It’s basically impossible to schedule any time with her,” said Tamryn Heinz. “I was able to get 15 minutes a couple of weeks from now between a shampoo and digging a hole in the backyard. But that was really lucky. She had a cancellation.”

Chili is reportedly planning to move her calendar from paper to iCal soon to keep better tabs on her day-to-day schedule.

Puppies Squabble Over Hawaiian Vacation

After winning a trip to Hawaii on Wheel of Fortune’s Best Friends Week, puppy pals Scout and Buster couldn’t decide how to split the winnings.

“The issue was really that they both want to take their girlfriends,” said Sam Ainsley, who lives next door to Scout. Apparently the prize package only came with two tickets – one for each of them, or for one of them with a guest. 

“I think they’ll eventually just realize they should go together,” said Ainsley. “But I really have no idea how they’re going to divide the PT Cruiser they won in the bonus round.”

Pomeranian Shakes Up Fashion World

As London Fashion Week wraps up there is one name on everyone’s lips: Marni. The Pomeranian puppy and her eponymous company shocked the fashion world this week by putting on an envelope-pushing show of avant-garde dog accessories.

“#ToDieFor,” said Patrice Favreux, the style editor for French Vogue, in a tweet about the Marni show. “Puppies everywhere are going to want this. Mark my words.”

According to a spokesperson for Marni, the brand has already sold out of its fall line, with much of the stock going to auction.

“That’s unheard of for a rookie label,” said Q. Raimi, a puppy fashion blogger. “This dog has something special. No doubt about it.”

Local Dog Not Fooled by Healthy Food

An area dog named Clover has filed charges against his owner alleging that broccoli was fed to him.

“My client is still not able to sleep through the night,” says Clover’s lawyer, Todd Foreman. “He is plagued by terrible nightmares about the broccoli incident.”

According to Foreman, the dog was originally told that the vegetable was a new kind of healthful puppy chow. After tasting the “foul demon weed” (Foreman’s words), he knew he had been tricked.

The toy poodle is seeking $50,000 in compensatory damages for emotional distress.
