Pug Starts Training at the Y

A pug puppy named Biff has begun working out in the gym at his local YMCA. 

“He’s in there two or three times per week,” said Craig Hopkins, who runs a daily Crossfit class at the Y. “I haven’t been able to recruit him for my class yet, but he’s been doing a lot of strength training and cardio.”

The pup is reportedly trying to shed the last few holiday pounds before swimsuit weather returns in a few months. Though he’s reportedly not considering Hopkins’ Crossfit class, a source close to the situation tells The Fluffington Post that Biff is thinking about signing up for Thursday night Zumba.

Pomeranian Is All Packed for SXSW

Vincent the Pomeranian is ready for SXSW. He’s already completely packed, according to sources close to the situation.

“This is his first time down to Austin for South by,” said friend Cameron Hepworth. “So he’s really really excited.”

Hepworth worries that as a first-timers, the dog might over do it. 

“He’s got a list of about 50 parties he’s already RSVPed for on Eventbrite,” said Hepworth. “If he tried to go to them all, he’ll burn out for sure.”

Dogs Start Touch Football League

A group of dogs from Portland, ME have convened a pick-up touch football league. The pups meet on Sundays on a field at Edward Payson Park and play two games with 20 minute halves.

“It looks like really great exercise,” said Phillip Carter, who jogs in the park at the same time the dogs play. “It seems like they’re pretty serious about it and they do a lot of running.”

When reached for comment, Tanner, one of the puppies who organized the league, said, “Ruff ba-rooo, aroo woof!”
