Meet black and tan smooth 'Poochie,' and human Laura Nichols, who hail from Maplewood, New Jersey. Poochie is a hot commodity in the household because the humans have entered a "furnace abstinence" contest (What, are you joking us?) where bragging rights and an iceberg-shaped trophy are at stake for those who can go the longest without turning on their furnaces. According to USA Today: Nichols and her four teenage children vie for the use of the 30-pound dog as an overnight leg warmer to stave off the 50-degree chill in their home.
We would normally tell you to read more about this green activity at USA Today, but we're hoping this trend doesn't catch on. Seriously.
Hi all, I bet Poochie is loving all the attention!! Getting to sleep with the whole family on a one-on-one basis. What more can a dachie ask for!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate to be the debbie downer here, but all I can think of with this furnance abstinence nonsense is frozen pipes. Not cool.
ReplyDeleteThe dog I'm sure is loving the attention.
