Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show "Barkets"

We've always associated January and the start of the new year with new resolutions, new goals, new diets, and of course-- the start of a new bracket season! Don't get us wrong... we are by no means sports experts, but there is something fun about filling out a bracket - whether it be for The Bachelor or the Super Bowl, we just can't help ourselves... (Ha, I bet you did NOT know that about us).

This is why were were SO EXCITED to get an email from the folks at Purina ProPlan about their Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show bracket.

YES! Finally a bracket we're actually qualified to fill out! Dog lovers can compete in this game of "barketology" to win $1 million*! (Side note, does this technically make it a "barket"?)

Simply visit www.dogshowbracket.com and use your canine intuition to pick your group and overall "Best in Show" winner.

Hurry and don't delay -- the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show will air on February 13th and 14th at 8 PM EST.


Good luck!




*The prize will be split amongst all of the verified owners of a perfect bracket

Puppy Bowl XVIII

While we're kind of "meh" when it comes to the Super Bowl, we are super "YAY" about the Puppy Bowl! That's right, for the 8th year in a row, the Puppy Bowl is back! And yes, this year in addition to the Kitty Halftime, there is a mini piggy pep squad! So what if Puppy Bowl is kind of silly-- we seeing nothing wrong a serious dose of "Awwwwwwwwww!"

A big thanks to Barkzilla reader Monica, who sent us a link to this special behind-the-scenes interview that was posted over at the Wall Street Journal:



Don't forget to tune into Animal Planet on Sunday, February 5th (the same day as the Super Bowl.. duh), at 3 PM ET! If you miss it the first time around, have no fear-- last year it ran on repeat!
