Puppy Longshoreman Fired on First Day

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Bo just wanted a job on the high seas.

The aspiring longshoreman and puppy had answered a local ad looking for part-time dock help. The pay was meager, but the promise of adventure was too great to resist. 

“He thought he’d actually be working on the ships,” says Ray Folger, Bo’s co-worker of one day. “I had to explain to him that he’d just be loading stuff and making sure the ships don’t float away. He got the first part down alright.”

The second part proved more difficult. Bo had been on the job only an hour when the cargo ship assigned to him started drifting out to sea.

“That’s when the boss showed up,” says Folger. “Needless to say, he was pretty mad. Bo tried swimming out to get it, but it was too little too late.”

At press time, the newly unemployed pup was said to be applying for other positions, including zookeeper and mall security guard.

Pup’s New Fall Collection Features Ready-to-Wear, Accessories

By Anna Washenko, FluffPo Correspondent

Lulu, the renowned canine fashion designer, offered The Fluffington Post a sneak peak at her fall collection at her private studio. The ready-to-wear items feature her usual interest in soft, fluffy fabrics. Notably, the papillon is expanding her creative talents into more than clothing, and the next season will include a foray into accessories. 

“She was inspired by a Caribbean vacation this spring,” sewing assistant Veronica Broussard said. “She wanted to capture that warm, tropical feeling during the colder weather without it looking too tacky or tiki. And of course, she’s found the perfect balance.”

Above, Lulu models her Marguerite fur clip. Pink satin bow, with orange and white silk ribbons, black Swarovsky crystal. $1,200.
