Super Bowl Sunday
Anthropomorphize -v. to ascribe human form or attributes to (an animal, plant, material object, etc.)
I know pet owners are prone to thinking their pets are like people. I'm sure you can tell by the Bears shirt Bella is wearing, that Dane and I are guilty of this. However, it's incredibly hard not to anthropomorphize your dog when you see how much they love tv, in this case the Puppy Bowl.
Every year on Super Bowl Sunday, Animal Planet will air the Puppy Bowl. It's basically a bunch of adorable puppies playing in a football themed room. Every once in a while they'll substitue in new puppies, have an instant replay, or a puppy will happen to run around the room with a toy and score a "touchdown.". There is also a referee, which I'm pretty sure is the guy who drew the short straw or lost a bet and is being punished by dressing up in a ridiculous referee costume and separating the puppies if they get a little to rough. Did I mention there are hamster commentators and a kitty half-time show?
It's an absolutely ridiculous, yet adorable, production. Every year I can't resist turning it on because Bella runs over to the tv puts her paws up on the stand and watches the action. Once she got so excited that she actually jumped onto the tv stand. Every time I have to laugh just a little because she looks like a furry little person rooting for her favorite team.
