Puppy Bowl: February 2012 Archives
Fumble, a young Chihuahua/terrier mix from the spcaLA in Long Beach, has just scored in the big time.
The puppy is set to make his television debut as part of the starting lineup on Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl VIII show - aired during Sunday's Super Bowl game.
TOP DOG. Fumble, who came from the spcaLA, will be playing in Sunday's 7th annual Puppy Bowl.
Ana Bustilloz, who is the director of communications and marketing for spcaLA, decided last year that Long Beach needed to find a cute, furry football player to star in the annual Puppy Bowl.
So all together now: GO FUMBLE!"I asked our wonderful staff to recommend some puppies," Bustilloz said. "Cuteness was a major factor, but the puppy would also need to handle a long plane ride to New York City... We saw Fumble, and he is just so cute. He was a good size and a beautiful puppy."

From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
