Rep. Hurley to hold workshop on puppy juggling

A state lawmaker today announced that she will hold an informative workshop Saturday to show her constituents how to juggle puppies. Freshman Rep. Julia Hurley said in an interview that in addition to holding her dog Pepper out of car windows, she sometimes enjoys tossing small canines into the air to catch and retoss again as a form of sport. "My dogs obviously enjoy it," Hurley said. "They're very happy. They love to be thrown up into the wind." Hurley first learned to juggle cute animals at the Mitt Romney School of Transporting Domesticated Animals on Roofs of Moving Vehicles. The Lenoir City Republican is a 2004 graduate of the school. Although Hurley has long been an animal lover, she came under fire in March when she was caught whacking her dog with a rolled-up laptop.
