As February 3rd nears, excitement has raised to a fever pitch for the upcoming bowl game. Who will emerge as the reigning champion? What spectacular action will become the long remembered memory of the occasion? Will there be another half time wardrobe malfunction? The answer to these and any other questions in anticipation of the event can be obtained by tuning in to the “Animal Planet” on February 3rd at 3 pm.
Animal Planet? You read it right. The fourth annual Puppy Bowl will air concurrent with the Super Bowl on Super Sunday, February 3rd. If your interest level in professional football is on the wane because your favorite team isn’t involved, this is a superb alternative. It is the second most watched TV show in that time slot. Viewership exceeds that of the State of the Union address. Originated in 2005 as an alternative to the big game, it has become increasingly popular. Yes, there are those who really don’t care about football.
The format is simple. Take a mock stadium, put in ten to twenty puppies (no more than three months old) of varying breeds from a local animal shelter. Cover it in green outdoor carpet with yardage markers. Provide a referee (human) to throw the flag to cover any inadvertent accident and let the fun begin. Don’t worry if you don’t see your favorite breed in action, substitution is frequent and you’ll probably spot it sometime.
At about one-and-a-half hours along, a half time show provides a dozen or so kittens with a scratching post for your entertainment. For your “water bowl’s eye view” of puppies drinking, a puppy cam is installed beneath a clear glass water bowl. While you may not see a long bomb into the end zone, there is enough rough and tumble to satisfy every taste.
Folks, this is television at its best. Exciting, wholesome, funny, clean, and immensely entertaining, it definitely ranks as a “must see.” Every participant is available for adoption so everyone's a winner. Remember, Sunday, February 3rd, 3 PM, join me and watch it and laugh.
In His abiding love,

If I remember, and my memory is full of holes these days, I shall tune in to the Puppy Bowl. We have already purchased snackage in preparation for our "Not Watching the Super Bowl" celebration. This could be entertainment of high order. Thanks for the recommendation!!!
