Local Terrier Demands Watermelon

A Boston terrier named Maverick has been camped out for hours in the hope that he might score a slice of watermelon.

“Of course he wants watermelon,” says Heidi Colms, who witnessed the standoff. “It’s the perfect summer snack.”

Sources close to the situation tell The Fluffington Post it’s unlikely Maverick will achieve his goal, but it’s possible the media attention will drive awareness around this issue so that future pups may enjoy the delicious treat.

Longtime friends and roommates Doyle and Lacey have just put the finishing touches on their sitcom pilot, tentatively titled The Barkers.

Set in New Jersey, The Barkers follows the hilarious hijinks of two dog roommates who co-write a sitcom pilot.

“They always say, ‘write what you know,’ ” says Janine Goldberg, a friend of the two dogs. “But this script is pretty awful.”

Industry insiders say the pilot is being considered by CBS for the time slot after Two and a Half Men.
