Puppy Prevails in Safe Seat Lawsuit

A Brooklyn, NY puppy named Rumpi has won in court after being sued for allegedly stealing a spot on the couch.  According to court documents obtained by The Fluffington Post, the puppy stood accused of taking a prime place at the end of the couch that had been occupied by one Howard W. Baines of 175 Penn St.

Baines alleged that he only vacated the seat for “a few minutes” to get a snack from the fridge while the two were watching a basketball game.  When he came back, he testified, “Rumpi was sitting on my seat and he wouldn’t move at all.”

Marcia Streiber, an attorney for the defense, argued successfully that because Baines failed to call “safe seat” when he got up for a snack, the seat became fair game.  Judges agreed, and Baines was ordered to pay court fees.

Dog’s Bout With Vacuum Ends in Stalemate

A New York pup named Franklin had gone three rounds with a vacuum cleaner Sunday evening when the ref finally called it a draw.

“Every time the vacuum came around, Frank would just hide under the bed,” says spectator Cal Demay. “It’s a pretty cheap way to fight, but he’s definitely safe under there. The ref was right to call it – it wasn’t going anywhere.”

The vacuum’s manager has already called for a rematch.

REPORT: Newborn Retriever Pups Already Have Vacation Plans

CNN is reporting that a litter of golden retriever puppies, just a few days old, have already made plans to “get out of Dodge” and escape January’s bitter winter weather.

“They were so warm and toasty before they were born,” Millie Caldwell told the cable news network. “Then they came out and were like, ‘what the f*** is this? It’s freezing! People live here?’ One of them figured out Expedia and they booked a flight to Miami.”

There’s no official word yet as to their plans once they arrive, but sources say a poolside cabana may be involved.
