While waiting for the big game to get underway, a far more agile team took to the field. These players are not in it for fame or fortune – they just enjoy the love of play and gladly accept payment in cookies. Get your game face on –
for the Golden Rule Training Puppy Bowl! We start by sizing up the competition…
accompanied by a Pregame Staredown…
And then, Kickoff!
There he goes…Man in motion!
Excuse me…Defensive Holding!
Pooch Kick…
And Punt Return!
Hey wait, is that a deflated ball on the field??
Let’s Huddle Up and rethink our strategy…
And they’re off…
Oh, Sack!
I do believe that is an Illegal Horsecollar Tackle! (I have no idea what that is, but my husband says “use it.”)
And is that a lame attempt at Illegal Substitution?!
Hey Ref! Unsportsmanlike Conduct on the field!
This game is getting out of hand. Two Minute Warning!
Special Teams. Is it just me, or is it hard to tell who’s on what team?
No fair, no fair…Piling On!
Regroup: Calling an Audible
Hey, that’s what we call a Forward Pass!
And Fumble!
This game is rough! Intentional Grounding…
Nose Tackle…
Chop Block…
Running Back…
and Touch Down!
Did someone call a Time Out?
Water Boy!!
This game was called on account of excessive cuteness…
Play resumes next week in puppy class!

Love, love, love! Especially the “Is it me, or is it hard to tell who’s on which team?” Brilliant work, Audrey, on catching the highlights of a great HB Puppy Bowl 😉
LOVE puppy class! 🙂

You have such a gift for writing and sharing your dog pictures.
That was really a wild game. I love the players. They are all so cute. It looks like everyone had a great time at this game. My favorite team was the “Dog” team ❤️
Great fun to read, thank you. Joy
Too funny. Love the last guy. 🙂
Oh! My! God! Too cute!!! I’m not sa football fan, but I love watching dogs/puppies having fun playing together! Thanks for the pix – and the bright start to a partly cloudy morning!!
