Puppy Trains for ‘American Ninja Warrior’

· Leave a Comment

An area Jack Russell terrier pup named Yax has been hard at work training for an upcoming appearance on the hit NBC show “American Ninja Warrior.” Friends say the puppy hits the dog park for up to 3 hours daily to prepare for the show.

“It’s mostly agility training. A little bit of strength,” said Allan Segura, who lives with Mitsy, a shih tzu who also trains at the park. “I see Yax out there every day when I go with Mitsy. He looks really good. He’s gonna crush it on the show.”

Yax will be the first dog to compete on “American Ninja Warrior” and the show’s producers indicated at Upfronts earlier this year that the episode may be a testing ground for a possible animal themed spin-off in 2017.

Puppy Has Best First Week of Work Ever

Puppy Has Best First Week of Work Ever

Pugsly, a dog from Redmond, WA, recently completed his first week at his new job as a QA tester for the Windows division at Microsoft last week. How was it?

“The best!” reports roommate Willard Franco. “Between the numerous cafe and restaurant options, the on-site organic spa, the Xbox-equipped lounges, the frisbee and soccer fields, the wifi everywhere, and the flexible schedule, he was on cloud nine.”

Pugsly also apparently joined photography and archery clubs during his first week, took care of his dry cleaning, and spent some time in the on-campus gym.

“It really sounds like summer camp,” said Franco. “But I guess he got a lot of work done, too.”

The best part, though, says Franco, is that the building Puglsy works in is dog-friendly.

“It could have been awkward, otherwise.”

REPORT: Baby Crane Masters Hokey Pokey

For months Rupert, a baby Sandhill Crane, has been trying to get the hang of the ‘Hokey Pokey.’ Finally today, say sources close to the situation, he put it all together and successfully completed a verse.

“You know the lyrics, right? ‘You put your right foot in. You put your right foot out. You put your right foot in and you shake it all about.’ It was the shaking part that had him all confused,” said dance instructor Jane Levy. “He would do more of a flail than a shake.”

Rupert has been practicing daily since November.
