Sydney here. I know some of you think it’s some other kind of Sunday, but not here in the Bruce household. I’m happy to report that for many of us and our humans Animal Planet’s “Puppy Bowl” will be the television feature. What is the Puppy Bowl you ask?
Well, the cable network Animal Planet has constructed a big play area for puppies. It is designed to look like a football playing field and puppies are dropped in through a big chute, and a camera watches them as they play. There is no commentary, just a little music. There are also Instant Replays of any excellent puppy action, and there is a Puppy Water Bowl camera so you can see what it looks like from the bottom of the bowl when a puppy drinks water.
This year they have also thrown a bone to the cat lovers with a “Kitten Bowl” halftime show. I’m happy about this because my sister Sadie would have been in a bad mood for several days if there wasn’t something about her species (you know how cats are).
The Puppy Bowl is on right now and will play through the day. Here are your links. Tammy will now take me for my walkie, and then we will come back home where she will do her Sunday house chores (I supervise) and rub my tummy. Have a great Sunday.
Animal Planet has reinvented the Big Game with the cutest, fuzziest and – at times- fiercest players on the field. When we say “rookie” we aren’t kidding – some of these athletes are just nine weeks old. From bulldogs to boxers and everything in between, it’s a fantastic team playing in a spectacular brand-new stadium. Join us for tackles, fumbles and fouls on the third annual Animal Planet Puppy Bowl premiering Sunday, February 4, 3-6 p.m. ET with encore presentations at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. ET only on Animal Planet.
Meet the Puppy Bowl Players here.
So, I turn on Animal Planet to watch some of the Puppy Bowl. Guess I was a little too early and caught the end of the Ugliest Dog contest. Did anyone else see Tator-Tot, the winner for the last two years? Oh my. That poor little thing. Besides being VERY homely, she appeared to be a bit “slow” as well. I had to turn it off. Oh man. I think I’m going to have to lay down.
I just hope Sydney didn’t see this.
They had the “Kitten Bowl Halftime Show” last year too. Needless to say lots of “ooooohs” and “aaawes” in my house today watching that!
I would have been better off watching this over the Super Bowl.
The Kitten Bowl drives my cats ballistic. So it’s essentally entertainment on TWO levels!
