Cat Pins Dog In Exciting Wrestling Bout
Cat Pins Dog In Exciting Wrestling Bout
In what is being hailed by sportswriters as “the inter-species fight of the century,” Bing the cat managed to pin Rummy the dog in the fourth round of a Greco-Roman wrestling match on Sunday.
“Everyone was betting on Rummy,” says Cal Camden, who covers contact sports for The New York Post. “When Bing locked him in that half nelson, the whole match shifted. Then it was over in two minutes.”

Canine Casual Gaming on the Rise
Canine Casual Gaming on the Rise
Mobile and social gaming has exploded in recent years, but dogs have traditionally been behind the curve.
“Pups are not early adopters,” says Rich Calloway, editor at gaming blog Kotaku. “But when they finally come around, they are a demographic force to be reckoned with – and game developers have taken notice.”
Dog-friendly mobile games like Gnaw Something and Turds With Friends have proven their worth in app stores, the latter reaching 50 million downloads last week. While many of these games are free to play, developers like Zynga hope to cash in on their popularity with in-app ads for bacon products.

Post Office Raises Rates on Overnight Puppy Delivery
Post Office Raises Rates on Overnight Puppy Delivery
More bad news for the USPS. Plummeting revenue has forced the Postmaster General to hike rates on the overnight delivery of puppies. This comes on the heels of a recent price increase on first-class kittens.
“We have to raise rates to keep up with rising fuel costs,” says Harold Lemon, spokesperson for the USPS. “Shipping puppies gets expensive.”
Many in the canine shipping industry are concerned.
“I’ve been shipping puppies with the Post Office for 29 years,” says Greg Lewis, co-founder of the Puppy of the Month Club. “This might be the year I switch to UPS.”

Area Dog Loses Bet
Area Dog Loses Bet
By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent
On the surface, Jack the Shih Tzu and Remy the Retriever appear to be the best of friends. However, neighbors report that under this friendly facade lies a fierce competition for dominance that, more often than not, results in unfortunate consequences.
Such was the case this week when, as witnesses tell The Fluffington Post, Jack brazenly agreed to a bet put forth by Remy. “So basically the gist of it was, ‘I bet that you can eat that whole bowl of kibble. If you can’t, you have to dress up like a pumpkin.’” says Fred Hillman, a source close to the two. “Oh man, Remy got him good."
According to dog expert Kenneth Phelps, competitive antics like this are often par for the course, especially during the formative years. "You see this kind of stuff all the time,” says Phelps. “Dog bets another dog, that dog loses, has to do something stupid."
Phelps admits that the pumpkin costume was "especially harsh,” but notes Jack’s resiliency throughout the ordeal. “Oh yeah, Jack’ll get him him back,” Phelps continues. “This is still anyone’s game.”
