CBS Announces Puggle Sitcom

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

What happens when a carefree puggle suddenly learns he’s a father? Viewers will soon find out when Oh, Puggle comes to CBS this January. The sitcom will tell the story of Max, a freewheeling bachelor who must abruptly change his ways when an adorable puppy (puggle newcomer Bruno) enters his life. 

“We’re really excited about this one,” says Vice President of Programming Glenn Geller. “Max and Bruno are the perfect onscreen pair. They barely even need direction – like in the pilot episode, where they try to share the same blanket. We pretty much just let the camera roll for that.”

California Husky Ditches Doggie Paddle for Shallow End

Los Angeles-based husky Ireland (“Woofies” to her friends) is a snow dog by trade. She beats the California heat with frequent dips in the pool, but you won’t find her in deep water.

“She always prefers the shallow end,” says Christine Beaumont, a lifeguard at the municipal pool. “In fact, we set up a private pool for her to hang out in. There’s only about two inches of water in there at any given time.”

Despite Odds, Cat Reaches Healthy 2nd Birthday

When Curious George was just a kitten, vets learned that he had a broken pelvis.

“The poor wee thing was still managing to run and jump around on it!” says his foster parent Amie Whiting of Christchurch, New Zealand. “The vets were pretty adamant that he was going to be put down, but we said, ‘no way!’ ”

After two months in a crate with as little movement as possible (“Seriously, try keeping a 3-month-old spastic kitten in a cage!” says Whiting.), his bones had knit, and he was finally healed.

“Celebrating George’s second birthday after he was destined to be put down is pretty awesome, especially because he is such a kooky, weird little dude.”

Dog Models New Line of Justin Bieber Overalls

Ike, a pup from Oakland, CA, has scored the exclusive modeling contract for Justin Bieber’s new line of designer overalls, fashioned after the ones he wore himself when meeting Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

“They’re called Bieberalls, and it’s farming chic,” says Bieber’s apparel publicist Stacy Rosco. “Ike was really perfect for showing off this kind of cutting edge fashion. Look for him on billboards and magazines everywhere this spring.”
