Chicago Dog Loses High-Stakes Game of ‘Cranium’

Chicago Dog Loses High-Stakes Game of ‘Cranium’

The popular board game Cranium is often a source of fun at parties and small family gatherings. But in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Chicago, IL, a weekly get-together has turned into a high stakes gambling operation.

A bull pug named Louise took a big risk Tuesday night, when she bet her crate and bed that she would win the final match.

“She was doing well, until she got one of those clay sculpting clues,” says Charles McDowell, a spectator. “Without thumbs, she had a really hard time making Romeo and Juliet out of purple Play-Doh.”

She came in second, losing her last worldly possessions to the victor.

Puppy Lays Claim to Vast American Wilderness

Puppy Lays Claim to Vast American Wilderness

When a beagle named Copper set out on a mapping expedition last fall, he never dreamed he’d find such pristine, untapped wilds. The puppy has sent reports back to base camp with tales of vast, uninhabited forests in the Great Smoky Mountains of the Southeastern U.S.

According to his bank rollers, Copper has claimed the land for himself, and set up a make-shift municipality called Copperton. Early reports indicate that he has begun settling the wilds.

“It’s hard to mark 187,000 acres of Appalachia with your pee, but Copper’s working on it,” says park ranger Dan Fillion, who is keeping tabs on the puppy from a distance. “He can make claims all he wants. This place has been federal parkland since 1934.”

It’s likely Copper is unaware of the legal challenges to his claim, but friends of the beagle expect him to fight for it in court when the issue arises.

Dog Swears It’s Snow, Not Dandruff

A local pup named Ranger wants everyone to know that the white flecks in an unfortunate picture of him making the rounds on Facebook are snow flakes, and not dandruff.

“Ranger wants to make it perfectly clear that contrary to rumors he does not have a dandruff problem,” said Patrick Landon, a spokesperson for the dog. “He just happened to be out playing in the snow when the shot was taken. It was cold enough that the flakes weren’t melting as they landed on his fur.”

Puppies Finally Find Suitable 2013 Calendar

Puppies Finally Find Suitable 2013 Calendar

It has taken nearly two months, but Buster and Chance, two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels from Boston, MA, have finally found a 2013 wall calendar that they both could agree on.

“They share a bedroom,” said Skeeter Winslow, a source close to the pair of dogs, “so it was imperative that they find a calendar they both liked.”

So what did the two pups pick? Predictably, they settled on a calendar featuring photos of other Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies.

“I’m glad they found something,” said Winslow, “but seriously, what a lack of creativity!”
