Corgi Prepares for Epic Birthday Bash

by Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

To celebrate the transition from puppyhood to doghood, Detroit corgi Jackson has planned a birthday party of epic proportions. He’s rented out an entire dog park for all his closest friends, and even hired A-list party planner Carly Stevenson to help take care of all the details.

“Jackson told me he wanted an event on the scale of My Super Sweet Sixteen,” Stevenson said. “We’re going over the top: party hats designed by Marc Jacobs, catering by Pat LaFrieda meats, and a special performance by Iggy Azalea. He also tried to get a chocolate cake made by Duff Goldman, but he’s a dog, so that wasn’t going to fly.”

Dog De-Stresses After Rough Week

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

After a particularly stressful week of submitting reports and reviewing spreadsheets, Knox the dog really needed to unwind.

“He works so hard, and never really makes time for himself,” says friend Chris Dippold. “When he didn’t answer any of my texts, I knew something was up.”

Indeed, Knox had designated last Saturday afternoon as official “me time.” That meant no calls, no texts, and certainly no emails. The pup headed straight to his local day spa for a mani-pedi, facial and scalp massage. 

“He seemed totally relaxed when I saw him last weekend,” said Dippold. “I think I’m going to take some ‘me-time’ too – assuming that Groupon is still good.”

Puppies Reenact Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’

In a YouTube video that has gone viral this week, two midwestern border collies named Skye and Safir created what critics are calling a “pitch-perfect rendition” of Michael Jackson’s iconic music video for “Thriller.” Their version, which has already racked up 2.1 million views, has been watched slightly less than the nearly 200 million times that the official original version has on YouTube, but is nonetheless impressive.

“We’ve seen a lot of ‘Thriller’ reenactments over the years,” said A. V. Club writer Sean Moorhouse. “From the annual Halloween parade in Lexington, KY, to flash mobs in New York City, to prisoners in the Philippines. But this one takes the cake for me.”

According a source close to the dogs, the pair worked on their moves for weeks.

“You think a dog can just roll up one day and shoot a nearly flawless tribute to the greatest music video of all time? Hardly,” said the source, who wished to remain anonymous. “Those two practiced every day for months. They rented this barn a few miles from their house so they could have privacy and they really got into it.”

The pups listened to the song and run through the moves up to 60 times each day, and would spend hours dissecting the film and watching the “Making of” video.

Next, the talented duo plans to tackle 1994’s iconic Spike Jonze video, Sabotage by the Beastie Boys.
