Puppy Bowl VII

I love football as much as the next girl but I'm not too excited about the Packers or the Steelers this year. I pretty much just watch the Super Bowl for the commercials. The NFL is not my bag. I prefer to watch guys play for the love of the game and not just for a pay check.

So at 2pm CST my TV will be tuned to Puppy Bowl VII on Animal Planet. What can make your heart melt faster than an adorable puppy rolling around and chasing other adorable puppies? Nothing... unless you have a heart of stone.

All these cutie patootie puppies are rescues looking for a home. You can see the starting line up here. What a great way to bring awareness to these adorable puppies that deserve a loving home.

I'm excited to see Big Red flex his muscles. What an adorable Shepeard Mix. He is from Butch's Place rescue in Cleveland, AL and loves the Golden Girls (I do too).

Calvin has also caught my eye. He's a Border Terrier Mix and is also a member of Oprah's Book Club. He is from Catawba County Animal Services in Newton, NC.

These rescue dogs have a special place in my heart because my "puppy" is a rescue as well.

If you are looking for a puppy, please consider adopting before you spend hundreds of dollars on a pure breed. Rescues will love you just as much, if not more.
