Dog Builds Hobbit Hole

Dog Builds Hobbit Hole

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Jake the dog was always a Lord of the Rings fan, and now, he has his own little piece of Middle Earth. The pup recently completed work on a hobbit hole, modeled after the distinctive dwellings in J.R.R. Tolkien’s tales. The finished product looks like something straight out of the Shire… more or less.

“I don’t remember hobbit holes being described as ‘plastic,’” says Brian Moss, a friend. “He also could have dug into the ground a bit more. Still, it’s a pretty decent approximation. For a dog.”

Jake is now reported to be planning an even more ambitious project.

 "He’s going to make a doggy Minas Tirith,“ says Moss. "The blueprints look impressive, but I’m not sure how he’s going to pull it off. He may have to subcontract out."

Puppy Can’t Break Soda Habit

Puppy Can’t Break Soda Habit

By Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

Scraps the dog has been trying for months to cut back on his caffeine and sugar intake. But he’s learned the hard way that forbidden fruit does taste the sweetest.

Although friends and family have supported Scraps in his efforts to quit, he has backslid on multiple occasions.

“He’s a fiend for Dr. Pepper,” roommate Michelle Dobbs said. “I came into the kitchen one day and found him rolled over, trying to drink every drop out of the last can we had. It was pathetic, really.”

The pup’s inability to kick the soda habit isn’t for lack of trying. He spent some time last month visiting a nutritionist, with the unfortunate name Chrissy Pepper.

“She had a name plate on her office door reading ‘Dr. Pepper,’” said Dobbs. “Needless to say, Scraps couldn’t handle it.”

Dog Country Singer to Tour U.S.

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

To outsiders, Grace the dog seems little more than a gimmick – but to true fans of country music, she’s the real deal.

“You talk about the all-time greats – Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard – Grace is right up there,” says Billy Norman, editor-in-chief of Country Time magazine. “Sure, her songs don’t make much sense, but she’s a dog. No one expected they would.”

The pup has proven so popular that she’s now set to embark on a nationwide tour. Most dates have already sold out.

“She’s going to start out in Boston and finish up in Nashville,” says Norman. “That’s also where the largest Petco happens to be. I’m going to say they planned that one ahead of time.”
