Puppy Wavers on Debt Ceiling Debate

A dappled dachshund named Harry remains undecided on whether the U.S. should raise its debt ceiling again. President Obama has been pushing for the raise, while many House Republicans remain staunchly against it.

“On one hand, he has serious concerns about our national debt,” says Oscar Simmons, a friend who often discusses politics with Harry over bacon. “On the other hand, it would be pretty disastrous if America defaulted on its loans. I know Harry plans to do a bit more reading on it. It’s a complicated issue, especially for an adorable puppy.”

Puppy Loves His New Moped

Italian puppy Giancarlo is the proud owner of a new Piaggio scooter, and he couldn’t be happier.  According to reports, Giancarlo uses the scooter for everything – commuting to work, picking up groceries, cruising around town, day trips to the coast.  

“It’s surprisingly versatile,” said Guiseppe Cicilline, a source close to the situation. “He really loves it.  Giancarlo really likes eating bugs, so this type of vehicle is perfect for him.”

Dog Owns Every Gadget, Still Bored

A New York puggle named Kingsley is obsessed with technology, say friends.

“He owns three tablets, two smartphones, two computers and a smart TV,” says Stan Kivolowitz, the dog’s former roommate. “And yet somehow, he’s still completely bored. I don’t get it.”

It’s likely due to over-stimulation, according to Dr. Jan Kholer, a puggle psychologist at Princeton University.

“If a dog has too many options, it can be paralyzing,” Kholer tells The Fluffington Post. “Too much to do can feel like nothing to do.”
