It’s Game Time!

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on February 1, 2009

Good afternoon, sports fans!  Well, this is it: The granddaddy of them all, the brass ring, the game for all the marbles — the Super Bowl.  And with it comes the time-honored Super Bowl traditions; first, dressing up the pets so they can share in all the Super Bowl excitement!

Oh yeah, I'm feeling it.  How about you, Stan?

Like, rah.

And if that’s not thrilling enough, it’s time once again for the Animal Planet Puppy Bowl!  Here are highlights from last year’s action-packed game!

Thanks to Chief Sister Officer for the Steelers pet pics!

Ahh, the water-dish tongue cam! A genius innovation.

2 Mandy 02.01.09 at 7:32 pm

I purrfur the Kitteh Half Time Show, but Puppy Bowl is cute.

3 Theresa 02.01.09 at 7:32 pm

PS, Way to rock the Terrible Towel, Mean Joe Kitty!

Little-known fact: Steelers fans believe afghans are good luck!

5 Nik 02.01.09 at 7:49 pm

Clearly, having a Groovy Crocheted Afgan from the 70’s is a requirement to properly dress your pets for the Big Game…

6 Nik 02.01.09 at 7:50 pm

@Nakey, is that true?!

7 Annie 02.01.09 at 8:07 pm

Okay My absolutely most favorite part of this post is the kitty wearing Mardi gras Beads.

W00T Kitty.

ANd the Afgans

MAkes me want to snuggle up with the puppy and the kitty.
Wanders off to watch teh puppy bowl video from last year

I don’t suppose there is any hope of this years puppy bowl getting posted here?
I don’t have Cable. : (

8 Dara 02.01.09 at 8:29 pm

9 jay 02.01.09 at 8:32 pm

thats coolio

10 chanpon 02.01.09 at 8:37 pm

Terrible shmeribble. These towels are oh so cuddly and snuggable.

11 Rooanne 02.01.09 at 8:41 pm

Aha ha ha ha
I love when the puppy steals the refereeeee at the end. Does that mean he won?
Where are the Caridnal pups/kitty dress up? Fair is fair.
(not that I watch football. I just think fair is fair).

12 Malinki 02.01.09 at 9:21 pm

Absolutely true, Nik.

Afghans are good luck, perogies will put hair on your chest, and halushki will make you strong. And if the Steelers can’t take you out, the babushka mammas will be right behind them :)

13 Argentee 02.01.09 at 9:36 pm

I’m watching Puppy Bowl V right now! Don’t forget to go to animal planet’s website and vote for MVP – Most Valuable Puppy!

14 doxnsox 02.01.09 at 9:54 pm

CARDINALS FURBABIES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If not then *insert EYE ROLL here*

15 JudyRB 02.01.09 at 10:04 pm

This just in – the win goes to the BEAGLE!!! Yeah Beagles!! – Puppy Bowl that is – Kurt Warner in the Super Bowl!

16 Suze 02.01.09 at 10:24 pm

You know the world’s okay when grown men will referee and announce Puppy Bowl. The “streaker”….and the embarrassed tailgaters…oh gawd, I was a having a baaad day, saw that, and couldn’t stop laughing. And I so want that big red fluffy puppy. Just watch Puppy Bowl. Forget that other silly bowl.

17 wannadance 02.01.09 at 11:52 pm

like, rah.

(palpitating for mike, as usual….sigh….)

18 Kar 02.02.09 at 12:01 am

They had a “steaker” at the puppy bowl? what the heck was that? A chinese crested puppy?

19 Kimberly 02.02.09 at 12:13 am

“Clearly, having a Groovy Crocheted Afgan from the 70’s is a requirement to properly dress your pets for the Big Game”

Heck yeah! I still have mine in my family’s college colors that Granny made for me!

20 Kzootie 02.02.09 at 1:08 am

I can’t believe it, I made a afgan just like that in 1973.

Loved the kitty getting his own treats.

21 Clare 02.02.09 at 1:25 am

*scratches head*

So you have a sports competition between the two teams punned in the previous post… okay, worked that bit out… but it’s called the Super Bowl, and the sport is… football.

Errr….?

22 Sara 02.02.09 at 1:46 am

Take a moment to appreciate the crotcheting abilities of Pittsburgh grandmothers. Wonderful technicolor acrylic blankets.

23 Annie 02.02.09 at 1:56 am

LOL Clare where are you???

24 berthaservant 02.02.09 at 2:31 am

To be fair, the Arizona pets likely live in warm weather and are probably not prone to snuggling deep into afghan warmy goodness because it’s 85 degrees out.

Would love to see one lounging near a cactus, tho.

25 MissMac 02.02.09 at 3:34 am

AH firmly believe that the support of these two helped the Steelers to victory tonight!!!

26 Malinki 02.02.09 at 3:45 am

Sara, actually the word is ‘crochet’.

But thanks anyway, your spelling is probably fun too :D

27 totalee puppy 02.02.09 at 12:36 pm

An exciting game and commercials were fun–except for the one about an urge to punch small animals-aieeeeeee! w00t for half-time.

28 kultgirl 02.02.09 at 5:24 pm

MMMMMM Puppy Bowl.
My fave was Schroder, who just laid down in the middle of the field for a tie-tie nap.

29 Theo 02.02.09 at 5:33 pm

The tail-gaters were the best.

30 jewlzy 02.02.09 at 10:31 pm

Kultgirl, my favorite was Schroder too! Who would have thought that a beagle/husky mix would be so freakin’ adorable?! However, I didn’t like that he got a puppy-foul for napping on the field…

31 Kyle Winland 02.04.09 at 3:29 pm

These were perfectly nice animals until some black and yellow was added. It looks like the animals are enjoying the new look, ok, maybe not. These pets would look better in orange and brown. No matter what they are dressed in they are still cute.

32 Joy 02.06.09 at 5:55 am

awww I love the animals

who’s blog is this anyway?

33 Kristen 02.07.09 at 2:30 pm

How great would it be to just lie down in the middle of the that mini football field and be covered with puppers?!

34 Theo 02.07.09 at 3:24 pm

Joy — Rupert Murdoch. (You didn’t hear that from me.)
