Superbowl or Puppy Bowl 2011?

Do we watch the Superbowl or the Puppy Bowl, or both? I vote for both. If you’re an animal lover, this show is the top dog! If you love football, this is your weekend.

“The biggest event on all fours is back! Puppy Bowl returns for its seventh consecutive year with an all-star, all-adorable cast that’s ready to mix it up on the grand gridiron of Animal Planet Stadium. Puppy Bowl VII brings viewers a loveable lineup that’s itching to play in a winning combination of terrier tackles, touchdowns, puppy penalties, fumbles and Fido first downs.”

Superbowl Sunday is the perfect time for adults and kids to indulge in their favorite junk-food delights, without the guilt.  Rocket Boy will have his cheeks stuffed like a chipmunk with chips and dip. The other day he misplaced his bag of mini-muffins and went ballistic on me. He ran screaming through the house that he couldn’t find a small bag of chocolate chip muffins that were probably baked and packaged in early January.
I think they rank right up there with the use by date on Twinkies, “please use by 2040.”

Mine, all mine!

Channel Chick is a chocolate lover. She claims that she has to have the sweet treat while doing homework, it makes her think better. At least when she’s shoving chocolate delights in her mouth I don’t hear any screamin’, smart mouthin, or hear any door slammin’ and that’s a good thing.

Could someone grab me a snack?

Mommies In Orbit likes to sample all of the goodies.  Smart Border Collie and Black Dog look forward to Superbowl, it’s their favorite foodie day besides Thanksgiving. Smart Border Collie takes it to the limit. She puts on her snuggie, grabs the most comfy spot on the sofa, and waits patiently until someone leaves their plate. She’s almost reptilian-like in the way her jaws open and snap shut so rapidly.

It’s mostly a complaint free evening for the adults. The kids don’t complain about dinner, because it’s a snack fest instead. The adults get to kick back and enjoy the game and commercials, and the dogs get to snuggle with their humans. All is well in the land of Mommies In Orbit on Superbowl Sunday.
