Puppy Bowl 2008!

Is it me, or is this year’s Puppy Bowl on the Travel Channel much rowdier?

If I were looking to adopt one of the players, I don’t think I’d opt for that scruffy little terrier whosis - a white Westy, perhaps? He looks like hell on wheels. He’s been chasing and wrestling with all challengers nonstop for a long time. Tires me out just to watch him!

I was complaining to my husband that our lack of cable meant a lack of puppy bowl …

Definitely rowdier, compared to last year. I wonder if they put something in that water bowl.

Those fluffy dogs are so adorable!

Puppy Bowl!!!

My favorite was the little brown puppy, who kept trying to play with the gigantic malamute. So cute. The puppy who kept digging in the water bowl was adorable, they must’ve had to refill it twice because she decided the water belonged on the field, not the bowl.

Pardon me for a second, I need review the events this Puppy Bowl.
EEEEEEEE!!! Puppies!! Little fluffy wuffy bundles of fur…

It just goes to show, the only fun toy is one that another dog has.

Oooh, I forgot this was on! I love the little brown Poodle mix puppy.

Every time they show that water bowl from underneath I totally crack up. EVERY time.

I wish they had a Kitten Bowl. This would work best though with a person involved, to lie on the floor for the kittens to use as a mountain. I volunteer, if they are looking.

Why did I type Travel Channel? I meant Animal Planet.

That little Yorky pup has no fear of man nor beast. He instantly tackles even the giant Akita pup.

Our cat Clarence is watching the Puppy Bowl with great attention. His ears are perked up, and he hasn;t moved.

The puppy bowl features the Bissel Kitty Halftime Show, with a stage, twirling colored lights, kitty toys, kitties playing with toys, kitties wrestling, kitties hiding from other kitties, kitties ambushing other kitties, and a finale featuring kitties and lots of confetti.

Oh, I missed that! I hope they replay it. Kittens rolling around is the best. :slight_smile:

This is the single most adorable thing I’ve ever seen on TV. :slight_smile:

Did they have a French Bulldog?

I watched the entire Puppy Bowl yesterday. It’s mesmerizing. We don’t have any pets, so I have to get my "aww"s vicariously.

Did anyone see the New York Times article about it this weekend?

I missed the halftime show :(.

Here’s last year’s.

I have to say I’d never heard of this before and accidentally ran into it. Awesome! The (human) game was too good to keep me diverted for too long, but I suspect PB5 will be a fixture next year. :slight_smile:

The colored, swirling lights were a mistake. A white cat on a red carpet is cute, but shine an orange light on it and it all just looks orange.

This was predicted 15 years ago, by the way, on Dinosaurs. Earl becomes a network executive and has a big hit with his new show Box of Puppies.

I agree.

I think the swirling lights may have freaked the kitties out enough that they weren’t as playful as they should have been. Next year, they should lose the lights and bring on the catnip!

There’s such a thing as a puppy bowl? Ah geez, I just cute-ed myself to death. Cuter then Scott Bakula in a red flannel blanket.
