Golden Retriever Announces Bid for City Council
In an address to constituents on Wednesday, a golden retriever named Yuuko officially announced that she will run for city council.
“Yuuko’s top concerns are jobs and rising property taxes,” says Jon Combs, the dog’s campaign manager. “No one will fight harder for the middle class than she will.”
But she may not have to fight too hard for the job. The incumbent, Mark Cambria, has reached his term limit, and as of this writing, Yuuko is running unopposed.

Dog Mom Inks Reality Show Deal
By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent
In what’s being called “a major deal” by industry sources, Lucille the dog has signed an exclusive contract with the TLC network to star in her own reality series. She won’t be alone, as her eight newborn puppies will also be prominently featured.
Tentatively titled Lucille Plus Eight, the series will chronicle the joys and struggles of raising a decidedly adorable brood.
“We’ve never done anything like this before,” says Keith Newsom, Vice President of Programming. “It seemed like a no-brainer, though. Busy moms will really identify with Lucille. And those puppies? America will know their names by heart.”

Dog and Cat Host Awkward Dinner Party
Phil and Daisy, a dog and cat from Canton, OH, are known for their parties. The pair throw extravagant barbecues and dinner parties throughout the year, including a now-legendary gathering for Halloween. But last week’s dinner missed the mark.
“It was clear from the get-go that something was amiss,” said Faruq Ahmad, a guest at the party.
According to Ahmad and others, Phil and Daisy would barely look at one another during dinner, and Daisy kept making passive agressive meows at Phil’s expense. "It was awkward,“ confirms Ahmad. "The food was still fantastic, but by dessert, I think we all just wanted to get out of there.”
No word on what caused the riff between the cat and dog pals, or if they’ve mended fences in time for tomorrow’s big 4th of July block party.

Puppy Cancels Gym Membership in Favor of ‘Walkies’
Sources inside a Bally Total Fitness tell The Fluffington Post that a puppy named Coco has closed her membership there, claiming she gets plenty of exercise by going on walks.
“We were really disappointed to see her go,” says Reggie Kalb, the gym’s manager. “But if she’s staying fit just with walkies, then more power to her.”
