Below are the adorable entries from our AfterEllen crew. Frankie the Badass Plays for: Grace Chu via her friend Miriam Breed: Dachshund/Beagle/Jack Russell mix! Position Played: Wide receiver (you throw it and she will dash!) Special Skills: 1. can put Usan Bolt to shame in the 100M dash. also she can do the lethal 2. belly roll: one roll and she can paralyze an entire crowd of people. 3. stealing socks and hiding them. 4. incredibly good kisser. Eloise Petunia Peanutsmith (Ellie) Plays for: Emily Donofrio Breed: Rat Terrier Position Played: Offense Special Skills: Swift on her feet and at a hefty nine pounds, this nimble girl can weave in and out of the opposing team with ease. Henry Brutus Wigglesworth Plays for: Emily Donofrio Breed: Terrier mix Position Played: Defense Special Skills: With a quick temper and slight aggression disorder, Henry is an excellent tackler. Francine “Franny” Fishpaw McManus Plays for: Bridget McManus Breed: Chihuahua/Rat Terrier (and possibly Tasmanian devil) Position: Running back (this bitch can run!) Skills: Violent bed humping (which might freak out her opponent), obsessive with food and fetch, can put herself to bed and tuck herself in (it’s adorable) and she seems to feel no pain when she injures herself, which happens a lot! Taffy Davenport Plays for: Karman Kregloe Breed: Jack Russell/Chihuahua Position Played: Coach Special Skills: Outwitting all human and canine opponents, destroying paper products (including the other team’s playbooks), barking at officials Deleuze aka “The Dooze” Plays for: Marcie Bianco Breed: Chi-mix-of-many-things; some people think she’s a Lancashire Terrier, but that’s very fancy. Position Played: belly up Special Skills: bedroom eyes; the ability to make girlfriends love her more than they love me; eating an entire rotisserie chicken in one sitting; snoring louder than a motorbike engine roars. Scout Portard Hogan Plays for: Heather Hogan Breed: Beagle Position: Special Teams (punt and kickoff return) Special Skills: Runs a 4.24 40, impossible to tackle, undaunted by angry spectators, will literally never let go of the ball. Margaret Jo Hogan Plays for: Heather Hogan Breed: Rocky Road Mix Position: Water Girl Special Skills: She just wants you to be happy. Stella Rue Rafus Plays for: Eboni Rafus Breed: Cairn Terrier/Silky Terrier Mix Position: QB (because she likes to call the shots) Special skills: running (especially if she’s chasing rabbits) catching balls in mid air, bobbing and weaving (especially if I’m trying to get something from her that she shouldn’t have) intimidating other dogs with her fierce growling and barking, and despite her small stature, loyally protecting her team. Lola aka “Dodes” Plays for: Trish Bendix Breed: Pug Position Played: Linebacker Special Skills: Stocky but low to the ground, Lola makes up for her lack of speed and endurance by placing herself in the center of the action, and hoping you don’t hit her too hard. She’s also great for any kind of “distraction” plays, with her mouth breathing and the endless sounds emanating from her short-nosed face. Sydney. Syd Vicious when she’s nasty. Plays for: Erika Star Breed: Corgi Position Played: Short Stop? Er, I mean, Defensive End. Special Skills: She’s low to the ground, built like a tank and defends her toy box with her life. She’s able to herd and contain multiple cats, deftly get underfoot when she needs something dropped and is known to attack any dog at the park who is on the receiving end of an enjoyable afternoon chuck-it sesh. Boomer Plays for: Dorothy Snarker Breed: Long-Haired Chihuahua Position Played: Running Back Special Skills: Stealing slippers. Thinking he’s bigger than he actually is. Looking dapper as hell during post-game interviews. Ginny “Beefsteak” Atwell Plays for: Elaine Atwell Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog Position: Tight end (it’s what Jimmy Graham plays) Special Skills: Energy so boundless she can only be photographed while sleeping, spring-loaded legs, eats all varieties of poop (I guess that’s more of a hobby than a skill) JP (Jamaica Plain) Guccini-Dougherty Plays for: Jill Guccini and Kathy Dougherty Breed: Shepherd Mix Position: whatever positions are in football Special skills: Ferociously licking own asshole, tearing the shit out of toys, barking at the mailman/opponents like a mad woman.
