One of the adorable pups starring in the Puppy Bowl!!!


That’s right!!! It’s February 1st…the day football fans have been waiting for since the beginning of the season. However, believe it or not, there are some of us who don’t actually watch the Super Bowl (except for the ads)!! We would much rather be watching Puppy Bowl V, on Animal Planet. This is the fifth year of the Puppy Bowl and will prove to be the best yet.

The first Puppy Bowl was held February 6, 2005 and aired the same as it has in each year…on Super Bowl Sunday!!! The pups are given tasks and teams and may the best pooch win!!! The Bissell Kitty half-time show wowed the crowd at the second Puppy Bowl and is now a yearly tradition. The first tailgate party for Puppy Bowl was part of the events of Puppy Bowl III and even though it was missed in Puppy Bowl IV, it is making a return today. Pepper the Parrot will sing the National Anthem to the crowd of spectators in Puppy Bowl V!!!

This is not only a fun and alternative way to enjoy Super Bowl Sunday, the show serves a very good cause. All of the puppies and kittens that will be shown on Puppy Bowl V have been “recruited” by local animal shelters. As a result, if you see any animal that you would like to adopt and bring home for your own Puppy Bowl, they will be available for adoption. I think this is another great way to bring dogs into the lives of anyone!!! There are over 20 pups that will be on the “turf” today and you can check them all out by clicking here!!! Watch and enjoy!!!
