Area Dog Springs Ahead, Oversleeps 3 Days
Waking up after losing an hour of sleep during the switch over to daylight savings time is hard for everyone. But a local pup named Pirate took it harder than most.
“She snoozed right through her alarm,” says Amy Friedman, a source familiar with the situation. “And she just kept snoozing.”
All told, Pirate slept three days since the time change, waking up Wednesday afternoon in a daze and rather hungry.
“She missed Super Tuesday and the latest NCIS: Log Angeles, but thank God she has a DVR,” says Friedman with a sigh of relief. “I’m just glad she’s OK and well-rested.”

Chicago Pup Wins New Wheels on ‘Price Is Right’
When Skip took a five-day weekend in L.A., he had one singular goal.
“To get on ‘The Price Is Right’ and win the Showcase Showdown,” says Murray Finkelstein, a longtime friend of the Chicago golden retriever pup. “Well, he did one of those things.”
After waiting in line at the Culver City studio, Skip joined the audience of Monday’s taping and was called to the stage by the announcer during the second round.
“He was surprised to be called, but you could also tell he knew this was his destiny,” says Mary Aker, Skip’s grade school classmate, who watched her old friend on the broadcast from her home in Evanston, IL.
Skip then bid $1 on a dinette set, and sure enough, each of his competitors went over. He subsequently won a game of ‘Cliff Hangers,’ earning him a sweet Radio Flyer wagon (pictured), but when he returned to the stage to spin the big wheel, fate wasn’t on his side.
“His first spin landed him $.65, but another contestant was already at $.75,” says Aker. “So he had to spin again if he had any shot. That one put him over.”
