Our dog is a very big part of our family. We aren’t necessarily big football people, but we do enjoy watching the SuperBowl. But what’s even better is the Puppy Bowl, my girls love to watch the dogs and really enjoy it. Of course, we need to cherish Brutus as we watch the puppy bowl as well :). What better way to enjoy time with our lovable dog than to give him some special new items.

I know that Brutus doesn’t really watch T.V., but he sure does enjoy watching/hearing other dogs.

Puppy Bowl Items:

I’m just sure your puppy has dreamed of being a referee, cheerleader, or even the star player of the team. Your dog can take part in the festivities of the Puppy Bowl with a new line of products from Animal Planet meant to make you smile. With costumes, t-shirts, football-shaped chewy toys, and more, your doggy will be viewing the most intense pet sporting event of the year in a stylin’ way.

My Thoughts:

I am an absolute huge fan of each of the wonderful Puppy Bowl Items that we received.
