Terrier Prevails in Prize Fight with Sponge

Marley, a Jack Russell Terrier, went the distance in last night’s headlining bout at Caesar’s Palace in Atlantic City, NJ against an ordinary household sponge.  The dog was exhausted after his victory, which came on a technical knockout in the 12th round, but pleased.

“I had them even through ten,” said boxing analyst Cherry Weinkrantz.  "It was still anyone’s fight going into the final round, but Marley really came out swinging.  His form was flawless and he landed a lot of great, late-round chews.  That’s why he walked away with the title.“

Puppy Has Big Plans for Yard

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

According to sources, Max the Lab just can’t wait to get started on his owner’s backyard. The enterprising puppy has recently expressed interest in converting the drab quarter-acre plot into a veritable dog playland.

“Yeah, he really wants to turn the place around,” says Bob Stewart, a friend. “He’s nothing if not ambitious.”

Blueprints obtained by The Fluffington Post have hinted at the true scope of Max’s vision. Among other amenities, the plans call for a bouncy castle, water slide and ball pit, all built to puppy proportions. 

“The bacon stand is going to be awesome,” says Stewart. “Of course, he’s going to need permits for everything. Let’s hope the mayor isn’t a dorkwad about it.”

English Bulldog Wins Funny Face Competition

Bruce “The Moose,” an English Bulldog from Ottawa, Canada, has prevailed in the annual Tri-County Funny Face Tournament with a nearly perfect score of 97.6.  "His routine was almost flawless,“ said long-time judge, Simon Brundage.  "If he had ‘stuck the landing,’ so to speak, on the googly eyes during his final funny face, he might have gotten a perfect score.”

As it is, Bruce will be taking home the grand prize trophy for the fourth time in five years and there is already talk of labeling his dominant run a “dynasty.”
