Wisconsin Dog Cheers Packers to Playoffs
Frodo, an 11-year-old pup from The Badger State, was thrilled to see the Green Bay Packers ascend to the NFL playoffs in early December. But he kept cheering his favorite team as they trounced the Titans for their 11th win.
“After the Packers scored their seventh touchdown against the Titans, Frodo decided it was safe for him to snooze a little and store up energy for the playoffs,” says Colleen Weir, a source close to the situation.
YMCA Doggie Pool Re-Opens After Renovations
The doggie lap pool at the local YMCA has re-opened after extensive renovations, according to activities director Angie Tilchen. The pool needed to be completely resurfaced after a large tear was found in its lining in October.
“In addition to the new pool lining, we also upgraded the filtration system and repainted the locker rooms,” said Tilchen.
The YMCA pool is a popular winter hangout for local dogs, who like to get exercise by swimming laps. According to Tilchen, the renovations cost $32,000 and were funded in large part by grant money.

Area Pup Becomes First Licensed Canine Masseuse
History was made on Friday when a local Chihuahua puppy named Roger became the first licensed canine masseuse in the United States. After two years of coursework and 500 hours of paws-on practice and apprenticeship, the talented puppy was awarded a license from the State Board of Health.
“He’s ecstatic,” said Alice Lumley, one of Roger’s teachers at the Suncoast Academy of Massage Therapy, where he completed his coursework. “He was one of our best pupils and really deserves this.”
Roger’s clients confirm the high praise given to him by his professors. "Oh, that dog has magic paws,“ said one client, who wished to remain anonymous. "He’s got me as a client for life.”

Beagle Sleeps In After Week of Holiday Parties
Cody, a 4-year-old Long Island beagle, has posted a “Do Not Disturb” sign on his bedroom door after five consecutive holiday parties left him totally wiped out.
“The term ‘party animal’ is an understatement when it comes to Cody,” says Jillian Stevens, a friend. “He’ll go all day and all night, but the next morning can be tough. He’s got to rest up now – New Year’s Eve is right around the corner!”
