As the Super Bowl approaches this weekend, so does the Puppy Bowl!  This is almost as exciting as the actual Super Bowl this year.  If you don’t know what the Puppy Bowl is all about, it’s basically a bunch of puppies running around in a model stadium.  In other words, awesomeness!  I guess you could say I’m a softy for puppies, but let's be honest, who doesn't love puppies.

The puppies featured in the Puppy Bowl are from shelters, and the show contains information on how viewers can adopt rescued puppies and help their local shelter.  To see this year's starting line-up for the Puppy Bowl visit Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl IX webpage or view a live camera on the Puppy Playpen. 

Too bad Baxter couldn't be in the Puppy Bowl.  He would have dominated!
