Grown Guinea Pig Won’t Give Up Childhood Toy
Grown Guinea Pig Won’t Give Up Childhood Toy
A Dutch guinea pig named Indiana Jones is suffering from a bit of separation anxiety. He simply refuses to forego his favorite childhood Teddy bear.
“We’ve tried embarrassing him, bribing him – even an intervention,” says Charles Felkas, a close friend of Jones. “He just takes that thing everywhere he goes.”

Cat Photographer Falls Asleep, Misses Life-Changing Shot
Cat Photographer Falls Asleep, Misses Life-Changing Shot
World-renown cat photojournalist Pippin of Rotherham, England was out a little too late last night, and his career paid for it dearly.
Just as he nodded off this afternoon, a fighter jet roared past his window, narrowly avoiding an asteroid on a collision course with the Earth, which was destroyed at the last second by a ballistic missile, launched by a dinosaur.
If only he had been awake to capture this once-in-a-lifetime moment. Alas, there is no photographic proof.

Post Office Experiments With Puppy Mail Carriers
Post Office Experiments With Puppy Mail Carriers
In its continued efforts to stem costs, the USPS has rolled out a pilot program in which puppies replace mail carriers on simpler suburban routes.
“We don’t want to lay people off,” said Ralph Comack, spokesperson for the Postmaster General at a press conference Saturday. “But puppies work real cheap. If the program is a success, we could slash $20 million from the budget in two years and keep the mail flowing without interruption.”
The program, however, is off to a ruff start.
See what we did there?
Never mind.

Guinea Pig Refuses to Leave the House After Bad Haircut
Tickle, a 1-year-old guinea pig from San Francisco, CA, just wanted a little off the top. She was mortified to find that her stylist had totally botched her look.
“It was all uneven, frizzed out,” says Amanda Carter, a close friend. “She started crying and said she wouldn’t go out in public until it grew back in.”
