REPORT: Newborn Retriever Pups Already Have Vacation Plans

CNN is reporting that a litter of golden retriever puppies, just a few days old, have already made plans to “get out of Dodge” and escape January’s bitter winter weather.

“They were so warm and toasty before they were born,” Millie Caldwell told the cable news network. “Then they came out and were like, ‘what the f*** is this? It’s freezing! People live here?’ One of them figured out Expedia and they booked a flight to Miami.”

There’s no official word yet as to their plans once they arrive, but sources say a poolside cabana may be involved.

Area Dog Gets Up Early to Watch Presidential Inauguration

According to friends, Hanky the dog got up early to watch the U.S. presidential inauguration this morning.  The official swearing in is occurring on Sunday morning – Hanky plans to watch the liveblog on Politico, with all the big public inaugural festivities on Monday, which he’ll watch on YouTube.

“He never misses any big presidential event,” says friend Mary Aushultz.  "Political conventions, debates, election night, the inauguration, the state of the union… it doesn’t matter. If it involves a president or presidential candidate, he’s plopped on the couch with CNN on.“

And what if anyone tries to change it to something else?  Say, playoff football?  "Oh he won’t have any of that,” says Aushultz.  "I mean, he won’t bite or anything, he’s a good dog.  But if you change the channel, he’ll just give you the most withering stare.“

"I tried to tell him the parade isn’t until tomorrow,” Auchultz continued, “but he just gave me that stare.”

Puppy Enlist Disciplined For Napping

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

According to the United States Army, a new recruit has been reprimanded following an incident that occurred last week. Army officials tell The Fluffington Post that Pvt. John Snugglekins was caught “taking a nap” during a routine drill.

“Private Snugglekins was spotted at approximately 0800, peacefully sleeping while making cute noises,” says Army spokesman Craig Froomkin. “The drill sergeant on duty was notified of the infraction, and the private has been placed on leave. Pending a review, it is expected that he will be punished to the fullest extent of military law. While it is recognized that Private Snugglekins is a puppy, and that growing puppies need their rest, examples must still be set. We believe these actions to be appropriate.”

Puppy Hates Casual Fridays

Business formal is the required attire Monday through Thursday at the office where Mac the dog works, so why should Friday be any different?

“Mac really believes that the clothes make the man, er, dog,” said co-worker Wayne Tran. “He takes great care to make sure he looks his best every day of the week, and he finds it insulting that when Friday rolls around, people start dressing like slobs.”

Mac has started a petition in his office to convince management to do away with casual Fridays, but so far he only has one signature – his own.
