Bella Bowl weekend is traditionally a busy one in our household. That’s right, it’s not just Super Bowl weekend around here.
We throw an annual Super Bowl party known as Bella Bowl… we’re up to Bella Bowl V. The dining room has been christened Puppy Stadium for the day. Sometimes Bella will rock Giants paraphernalia for the party – but her interest in wearing a jersey is usually short-lived. Such a fair weather fan…
Anyway, I’m excited to add a new tradition to our Bella Bowl/Puppy Bowl/Super Bowl weekend… the All Things Dog Blog Super Dog Sunday Blog Hop!
I didn’t have the heart to make her wear her jersey and let me take a new photo, given that the Giants didn’t even make the playoffs. So let’s just agree that the pose above is how she reacted when she learned this news.
I love Super Bowl Sunday. If I’m being honest, I’m not always that into the game. However, I am into throwing a party (we host an annual party affectionately known as Bella Bowl – this year it’s Bella Bowl V). I’m also into watching (and judging) hilarious commercials. Finally, I’m into the ridiculous cuteness that is the Puppy Bowl. So you can imagine my glee when I stumbled upon this video from the Wisconsin Humane Society:
I’m not a Packers fan – but I’m not a Steelers fan either. However, I think this video has convinced me to root for the Packers this weekend. That many puppies can’t be wrong.
(Oh, and this year I’ve found another reason to love Super Bowl Sunday – it’s also the day of the Super Dog Sunday Blog Hop courtesy of All Things Dog!)
If I had to guess, I’d say that Bella is not a football fan (jersey photos notwithstanding). Although she loves rope bones and plush toys, balls have never been her thing. Seeing Bella playing with a tennis ball is kind of like finding a four-leaf clover. It’s an extremely rare occurrence.
Anyway, football season is here! It’s my first year participating in the confusing world of fantasy football – I may not know what I’m doing, but I do think my team name is pretty awesome. (Go Rush Puppies!) Accordingly, today’s No Frown Friday takes us to the gridiron…
Your punny pet names for the week are inspired by some Hall of Famers: Terry Bradspaw, Vince Pombardi (for your Pomeranian football fan), and Howly Long.
Got some time to kill before the games start this weekend? You can watch full episodes of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show – including this episode about Snoopy’s football career.
In my quest to find the perfect video for today’s post, I came across the very talented dog below. He’s not playing football in the American sense of the word… but he’s cute so we can overlook that, right?
He makes me smile.
In other dog news, next week you can help dogs simply by writing a post on your blog. For every blogger that posts about the Pedigree Adoption Drive between now and September 19, Pedigree will donate a bag of dog food to shelter dogs. Cosmo Havanese over at To Dog With Love has all the details. Go check it out! We’ll be doing a dedicated post on the subject next week – hope you will too.
More of a blog reader than a blog writer? That’s okay – for every new person that likes the Pedigree Adoption Drive on Facebook, Pedigree will donate a bowl of food to shelter dogs. It doesn’t get any easier than that!
