Dog Is Enjoying Retired Life

Last year, when Crowley retired from his job as a mailman harrier, he wasn’t sure what he would do to pass his time. “It was forced retirement,” says long-time friend Olga Thornton.  "He didn’t want to leave, but if he wanted to collect his pension, he had to.“

These days, though, Crowley is loving the retired life.  He’s recently completed a move to Boca Raton, FL, where he spends most of his time by the pool, at the buffet, or tearing up the shuffle board court (literally – he loves to chew on it).

"If you’d told me three months ago that Crowley would love being retired, I’d have laughed,” says Thornton. “He was always so dedicated to his work, and full of energy.  But he’s really taken a shine to the lifestyle.  I think these are the best years of his life.”

Puppy Photographer Goes to Great Lengths for Perfect Shot

Angus, a photographer and noted puppy from Berlin, Germany, is always after the perfect picture – and he’ll do whatever it takes to get it.  Recently, that has meant wearing a head-mounted camera everywhere he goes, 24/7, so that he always has his camera at the ready should a great shot develop.

“Well, he’s a dog, so he doesn’t have pockets,” said friend Henrik Eichel. “This was the only way we could think to keep his camera with him, ready to shoot at any moment.”

Puppy in Tears Over Spilled Water

A puppy named Ghia was noticeably upset Monday morning when an aggressive dash to quench her thirst resulted in an upside-down water dish. The spill expanded a foot in diameter, maybe more, according to witnesses.

“It’s a bad situation, sure,” says Ted Klein, a source close to the situation. “But she doesn’t have to cry about it. We’re not talking about milk here.”

A French bulldog named Charlie scored the winning touchdown for the Tiny Titans, a casual but competitive summer football league.

“It was a Hail Mary pass,” says Darryl Wichman, Charlie’s fellow Titan. “Nobody thought he’d catch it. But Charile came through in the clutch.”
