Dog Prepares Early for Caribbean Vacation

Chester, a chocolate lab from New York City, just put in for his first vacation in over a year. The dog is taking two weeks in January to visit the caribbean island of St. Barts and he’s very excited.

“He’s been wearing those damned goggles around the office for a week,” said Bruce Jacobs, his boss at the accounting firm where Chester works. “Ever since I approved the time off it’s been, ‘snorkeling this’ and ‘tanning that.’”

Jacobs said he understands that the pup is excited, and he deserves the vacation, but, “this is a place of business. He’s got take off those damn goggles.”

Pups Vigilant About Dropped Food Watch

Oscar and Clarence don’t miss out on dropped food. Even the tiniest crumbs will always get snatched up by these vigilant pups.

The two dogs make up the Murphy Household Food Watch, which was formed in 2009 after an entire pumpkin pie was dropped on the floor during Thanksgiving and went uneaten for at least 7 minutes before being cleaned up.

“After the pie incident, Oscar and Clarence vowed never to let a piece of food drop without being eaten,” said the puppies’ official biographer Sue Corliss.

Their initial goal of leaving no food uneaten after 90 seconds was met within the first year. "Now they’re down to an average of 34.6 seconds for 2013,“ she said. "It’s truly impressive.”

With the holiday season right around the corner, the dogs better be on their A-game.

Puppy’s Pillow Fort Deemed Structurally Unsound

Tazzy the dog spent a recent Saturday morning designing and constructing what he was sure would be a durable and functional pillow fort. Unfortunately, it was deemed unsafe by county building inspectors and fell down shortly after completion.

“It was a very modern and pragmatic design. A lot of usable space and no waste,” said pillow architecture professor Lenora Eastman. “But Tazzy didn’t account for his own size and weight when laying out the foundation, so the whole thing was doomed from the start.”

No one was hurt in the incident, though Tazzy pride was bruised. The vacant couch will be turned into a Dunkin’ Donuts early next year.
