Puppy Celebrates Christmas In July

A local puppy has decided to dispense with waiting and celebrate his favorite holiday nearly six months early. 

“Kaiser loves Christmas,” said family friend Judy Ong. “The carols, the cookies, the movies, the presents.  He loves it all.  He was doing pretty well waiting for the actual holiday, but about a month ago he started getting the itch.  You know, humming ‘Rudolf’ all day, eating candy canes with every meal.  Something had to be done.”

Their solution?  A special “Christmas in July” celebration this past weekend.  "We went all out,“ explained Ong.  "Decorated a tree.  Put Home Alone on the telly.  Drank egg nog.  Exchanged gifts.  Kaiser tuckered himself out, but I think this will satisfy him until the 25th.”

Scientists Trace Pomeranian Heritage to Teddy Bears

Geneticists at the University of California, Berkeley will publish new findings on the breeding heritage of Pomeranians.

“We’ve found a fork in the family tree that may explain why Poms are so puffy and cheerful all the time,” says Daniel Kromer, a senior researcher. “It seems they share a common ancestor with Teddy bears. It makes a lot of sense. I mean, just look at those things.”

Chihuahua Laughed Out of Comic-Con for Lame Costume

A Chihuahua named Sunny arrived in San Diego, CA this weekend, ready to get his geek on at Comic-Con.

“He’s a big Superman fan, but didn’t have a lot of time to make a costume,” says Allan Lansford, a source close to the situation. “He walked in there with a plastic cape, and those nerds really roasted him.”

Witnesses say Sunny left the convention early out of sheer embarrassment.
