Critics: Frenchie’s Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe Needs Work

The return of fall means pumpkin spice everything, but one Frenchie foodie has yet to impress critics. Frankie attempted the autumnal favorite “pumpkin spice latte” (or PSL, made famous by Starbucks) by going to the source.

“He’s a nut for fresh ingredients, so he started with a pumpkin right out of the patch,” says Leonard Avery, a friend of the pup. “He really went to town on that thing.”

Once he had enough pumpkin flavoring, it was time to brew and spice the coffee. But its debut at a local coffee shop in Denver, CO was met with lukewarm reviews.

“It had a hint of pumpkin, but mostly just tasted like wet dog,” says Cameron Singleby, a coffee critic for Beans Magazine. “The PSL is a delicate art form. I think Frankie just needs a bit more practice.”

Local Pug Does Not Trust New Dog Walker

A local pug named Verne loved his old dog walker. He looked forward to each afternoon when Shelby would stop by the house, take him and his bother to the park, and then come back and give them each a piece of pepperoni.

But Shelby retired, and this new guy – Max – can’t be trusted. He’s always late and he never has cured meats.

“He thinks Max is up to no good,” said Lisa Mendoza, whose Alsatian Willy plays with the two puppies at the park. “He seems like a pleasant guy, but I guess those pugs were set in their ways. No one likes change.”
