Puppy Bowl XV vs. Kitten Bowl VI written by Joey Baloney aka The Cat

     Puppy Bowl XV is going to be the best one yet! This year's Puppy Bowl will include 93 Puppies from 53 Animal Shelters from the US, Puerto Rico, and Costa Rica.  And for the first time ever, a one-hour special airing Feb. 3 (8 p.m. ET) on the Animal Planet Channel called the Dog Bowl will turn the spotlight on older canines in need of homes. The Dog Bowl II, is making its second straight appearance after last years inaugural debut which was so successful all the dogs were adopted and went to heart felt homes. The Dog Show II will air tonight before the Super Bowl and will include 63 dogs from 15 states and feature fully grown mutts—adults and seniors—playing their own game of furry football. The teams will consist of Team Goldies and Team Oldies. The Dog Bowl II airs on Animal Planet on Saturday, February 2 at 8 pm.
     Puppy Bowl XV kicks off with a furry group of line barkers and wide retrievers, making adorable fumbles and tumbles in an effort to score winning touchdowns for Team Ruff and Team Fluff.  For the eighth year in a row, America's favorite "Rufferee," Dan Schachner, returns to call the puppy penalties, furry fumbles and terrier touchdowns. Two of this years pups have special needs, one is hearing-impared and one is three-legged. The halftime show will feature kittens playing with lights, laser pens, balls of yarn and other toys. Along with dozens of kittens, some of whom jumped out of a large cardboard cake; a sloth eating pieces of fruit; baby porcupines who shyly chased each other in circles; a baby kangaroo who jumped in and out of a cloth purse backstage; and a capybara who was most excited about eating the corn on the cob offered by his handler. Youth volunteers lined the sides of the field and made sure no puppies, porcupines or other animals fell off the stage during the game. The Puppy Bowl will air on the Animal Planet Channel at 3 pm (est) on Sunday, February 3rd, 2019 with the Puppy Bowl pregame show starting at 2 pm (est).
     The Kitten Bowl starts Super Bowl Sunday off at 2pm on the Hallmark Channel. NFL icon Boomer Esiason will return as the Feline Football League Commissioner.  Beth Stern again hosts the big showdown from Hallmark Channel Stadium, featuring adoptable "cat-letes" playing with cat toys, taking cat naps and generally behaving like the adorable fluffballs they are. Beth has fostered countless animals in need while working to find animals homes, and she’s excited that the 2019 Kitten Bowl will highlight the cathlete’s personal stories. This year's players competing for the "National Championship of Feline Football" trophy include kittens rescued from recent natural disasters. Other Commentators for Kitten Bowl VI include Dean Cain, Rodney Peete, Rashad Jennings and Boomer Esiason and the event partner is again North Shore Animal League America. Turn into the Hallmark Channel on Feb. 3 at 2 PM EST. This year also marks the first annual Cat Bowl which airs on the Hallmark Channel on Saturday, February 2 at 10 EST. Older Cats that need good homes.
     An estimated 50 million viewers will be watching Puppy Bowl XV and  over 25 million viewers will watch the Kitty Bowl VI.  Major sponsors who purchase commercial time for these Bowls must also commit to being sponsors and advertise all year round with all programming on these channels. Puppy Bowl XV official sponsors include PEDIGREE, Petco, BISSELL,  Dairy Queen, GEICO, AllState, Milkbone, Chewy.com, Purina, PetFinder.com, Twizzlers, Wisdom Panel, Tinder, and Subaru and Southwest.  Kitty Bowl IV official sponsors include Meow Mix and Allegra ,Subaru, Liberty Mutual Insurance, and Pet Smart just to name a few . All the puppies and kittens are available to be adopted right after the Bowls air on television through the shelters and some are even adopted by staffers of the events.  My favorite part is seeing how cute all the kittens are as well as how well the puppies play together and knowing that all my friends will get adopted and go to good homes to be with their new families. So if after watching the Kitten Bowl and Puppy Bowl you decide you or you and your family is looking for a kitten or cat, puppy or a dog, please visit the animal shelters in your area and pick out a new family member. Remember to always have your Cats and Dogs spayed and neutered.
