Dog and Cat Wait 7 Hours for Cable Guy
Dog and Cat Wait 7 Hours for Cable Guy
Roommates Paxton and Piper knew they had a problem when their home Wi-Fi network was unable to communicate with the Internet.
“Their laptops would connect to the network no problem, but they were unable to load any websites,” says Sherri O’Neil, a neighbor familiar with the situation.
After rebooting the router several times, Paxton the cat called the cable company.
“This was at 8:30 in the morning,” says O’Neil. “Comcast said they would be there within the window of 11 and 2. I’m not sure what Pax and Piper were planning to do with no Internet for hours. It must have been awful.”
What’s worse is that Comcast didn’t show up until 3:30pm. “Seven hours from when they placed the call,” says O’Neil. “They were so anxious the whole day. I could see them peering out the front door and looking for the truck coming down the street.”
The roommates eventually got their connectivity back, and quickly turned to the Internet to blog about their customer experience.

Futuristic Puppies Sleep in Adjacent Pods
Futuristic Puppies Sleep in Adjacent Pods
In the future, we’ll all sleep in giant egg-shaped pod beds.
At least, according to puppy futurists Sammy and Wiggles. The two dogs, who are staff lecturers at the Rhode Island School of Design, presented a paper at a conference in Düsseldorf, Germany today, in which they assert that within the next decade, humans (and puppies) will begin sleeping in special pressurized, sensory deprivation eggs. The puppies claim that the pods will help us live longer.
“But they won’t be for cats,” according to the paper. Cats already live a long time, write the pups, so this new technology will just level the playing field.

Dog Skips Work for Beach Day
Dog Skips Work for Beach Day
Rio, a dog from Los Angeles, CA, played hooky at work today, opting to relax at the beach instead.
“The weather has been beautiful,” said companion Claudia Barr, who also called out from her job. “There was no way Rio wanted to be cooped up in that office another day.”
The Boston Blue Terrier works at a local radio station in the promotions department and has not taken a vacation or sick day in two years. Co-workers doubt she’ll get in trouble, even if her boss finds out she wasn’t really sick today.
