Area Pug Goes Bonkers for Cupcakes

Penny the pug’s love of cupcakes has been a boon to Dot’s Cupcake palace on third – Penny’s local supplier – but it has nearly brought the pup to ruin.  Penny is reportedly on the brink of financial disaster due to her cupcake addiction.

“She’s obsessed with them,” says Dot Abernathy, proprietor of Dot’s Cupcake Palace.  "Penny is my best customer.  Even when friends try to tell her it’s the same as cake, just smaller, and that she could save money by buying a full-size cake instead of a dozen cupcakes… she won’t have any of it.  Heck, she won’t even list to me!“

According to Penny’s accountant, the pug will need to curb her cupcake habit soon or she may not be able to afford the rent on her ocean view dog house.

Office Dog Shows Management Potential

A hardworking dog named Velcro was delighted to hear he was placed on a management track as of Wednesday morning.

“He’s been with the company a while now, and he’s great with clients,” says Arnold Kaplan, Velcro’s direct supervisor. “If he keeps up the good work, he might run this company someday.”

The promotion comes with a number of benefits, including a modest salary bump and a key to the executive wee-wee pad.

Don’t Deprive Your Pup of DogTV

Further evidence that the entertainment industry is going to the dogs: the nation’s first 24 hour television network aimed at canines has launched in San Diego.  If things go well in the test market, aptly named “DogTV” plans to expand nationwide.

The channel provides first-of-its-kind programming aimed specifically at dogs.  DogTV currently airs three types of programs: relaxation (soothing programs aimed at putting your pooch in a peaceful state), stimulation (simulated play with other dogs to get your pup off the couch and moving around), and exposure (meant to get your dog used to everyday situations, like riding in the car).  Using a mix of 3-6 minute segments – dogs apparently have people-sized attention spans – DogTV offers what it calls “just the right balance for the daily routines of our beloved ‘stay-at-home’ dogs.”

The channel also streams online.
