Area Puppy Fetches Stick, Unsure How to Proceed

When local puppy Asher, a German Shepard – Labrador Retriever mix, fetched a stick on Thursday morning, he wasn’t sure what to do next. So he just stood there, looking kind of unsure of himself.

“We had been working on fetch, and we’d gotten as far as, ‘you chase after the stick and pick it up,’ but we hadn’t addressed the ‘bringing it back’ part,” explained Aisha Franklin, a source close to the situation. “He’ll get it. He just needs more practice.”

Dog Writes Letter to Town About Spelling Error

If there’s one thing that Skip, a local Chihuahua pup, can’t stand, it’s spelling errors. That’s why the dog was incensed when he visited the local community pool and found a sign asking patrons to please take off their “shose.”

“Not only did they spell ‘shoes’ wrong, Skip doesn’t even wear shoes,” said friend Gordon Miller. “So the sign was wrong and irrelevant. Of course he wrote a strongly-worded letter to the town about it.”

Local Dog Places Third in 5K

Jelly Roll, an Alaskan Husky-Pointer mix from Brighton, UK placed third in a 5K race this morning. The dog beat out a number of notable competitors, including last year’s champion, a Weimaraner from Chelmsford.

“This is quite an achievement for Jelly Roll,” said Janny North, a long-time friend and training partner. “He used to be kind of, well, pudgy, as his name would suggest. But he’s really put in a lot of work to get in shape. We may have to change his name!”
