Dog Makes Embarrassing Medal Podium Faux Pas

According to eye witnesses, James, who placed second at the recent World Competitive Golden Retriever Cup, made a mistake of etiquette while on the medal podium.  Witnesses tell The Fluffington Post that while the national anthem was playing, James put two paws up on the gold level of the podium and leaned there for a full three stanzas.  

A spokesperson for Henry, the winning pup, shrugged it off.  "James is a great competitor.  I’m sure he didn’t mean anything by it.  He just got caught up in the moment.“

The two dogs will likely meet again at the Olympics in London later this year.

Area Pug Goes Bonkers for Cupcakes

Penny the pug’s love of cupcakes has been a boon to Dot’s Cupcake palace on third – Penny’s local supplier – but it has nearly brought the pup to ruin.  Penny is reportedly on the brink of financial disaster due to her cupcake addiction.

“She’s obsessed with them,” says Dot Abernathy, proprietor of Dot’s Cupcake Palace.  "Penny is my best customer.  Even when friends try to tell her it’s the same as cake, just smaller, and that she could save money by buying a full-size cake instead of a dozen cupcakes… she won’t have any of it.  Heck, she won’t even list to me!“

According to Penny’s accountant, the pug will need to curb her cupcake habit soon or she may not be able to afford the rent on her ocean view dog house.
