New Evidence Suggests Puppies Evolved From Dinosaurs

Discovery Magazine has published new paleontology and genetic research that suggests modern day puppies share ancestry with dinosaurs.

The two-part study, conducted jointly by Oxford University and Yale, examines physiology across the fossil record, and notes that hip and joint bones in today’s dogs bear a striking resemblance to those of the Triceratops, a giant horned herbivore that roamed North America in the late Cretaceous Period.

Few scientists have linked dinosaurs with mammals, evolutionarily speaking, so it is expected that this research will endure some serious criticism.

Cats Find Scraps From New York Fashion Week

You may not have seen Henry and Maggie on the catwalk during New York Fashion Week, but they managed to secret away some designer samples after the hottest shows in town.

“They just volunteered at the Paul Smith show – ushering, cleaning tables,” says Ruth Cable, a friend. “No one noticed a few missing bow ties.”

Dog Regrets Installing Low-Flow Shower Head

In an effort to save water and “go green,” 5-year-old cocker spaniel Ralph Bear Morris installed a low-flow shower head in the master bathroom about three months ago. While his water bill is slightly lower, he’s having some regrets, according to sources.

“He really misses the massage setting,” says Angie Cornell, a friend. “There’s nothing like a nice hot, firm shower. It just kinda dribbles on him now – he hates it.”

Dog Founds Book Club at Local Library

A 2-year-old pup named Nala just can’t stop reading. She’ll scoop up anything she can get her paws on – fiction, history, science, chick lit.

But she was never sure if other dogs in her community had the same voracious reading appetite; that is until she started up a book club at her local library.

“Dogs came out of the woodwork,” says librarian Tabitha Cole. “Who knew we had so many 4-legged readers in our midst?”

Chicks Tie the Knot in Beautiful Private Ceremony

Though they may be young, it was clear to guests that Herman and Sherry Cluckingham are truly in love. The society chicks were wed Thursday evening in front of family and friends, and while there was some concern about their age, no one in attendance maligned the nuptials.

“It was beautiful,” says Martha Graham, one attendee. “They insisted on reciting their own vows. That’s when the water works came on for me.”

Attire at the event was provided by renown bird clothier Chicks in Hats. The bridal party donned some of this season’s most sought-after headgear.

“Chicks in Hats is extremely hot right now,” says fashion blogger Kerri Potsdam. “Expect the signature style to grace magazine covers for months to come.”
