It may shock some of you to know that I have never seen a football game from begining to end.

But it's hard to ignore this time of year, what with that Super Bowl thing happening on Sunday.

But people like me have a choice: Sunday is also the day of the fifth annual Puppy Bowl!

What's a Puppy Bowl? Well, it's puppies running around a tiny football field for a couple of hours. That's pretty much the whole enchilada. Oh, when they have accidents, a man comes out and blows a whistle.

The animals are all rescue dogs and I think charity might somehow be involved, but really who cares about that?

Cats are somehow involved in the half time show.

And get this: According to Wikipedia, 8 million people watched it last year.  

It's at 1 p.m. on Animal Planet.

Go here for more details.

If you've never seen it, it's worth sticking around at least until they show the "bowl cam."

I'm thinking of having a Puppy Bowl party. I'm going to invite the neigbhorhood dogs, which includes Buddy, Tango, Cowboy and Tess.

I had a very nice chat the other day with a man named Jeremy Mooney, who works for a company that is producing a show for Animal Planet.

" Housecat Housecall"  is similar to "The Dog Whisperer," but it features bad cats. I told him that my cat pooped in my shoe last week and he said that's exactly the kind of feline they're looking to feature on their show.

I'm not eager to introduce Riff to a national audience, but they are holding auditions for other bad kitties. If you have a pussycat with behavioral issues, keep reading. It might become as famous as Joe the Plumber.

This is from the e-mail he sent me:

We are seeking families with a cat (or two or three) behavioral issues (e.g., sleeping in unusual places; always trying to escape to the outdoors; overpampered and in need of an attitude adjustment; one cat not getting along with another cat or a dog) or relationship situation (stress of moving with a cat; cat separation anxiety, perhaps with someone in the miltary; advice on caring for a special needs kitty - blind, 3-legged, etc..).

On the show we will meet the cat and the family and hear about their needed assistance from us, send in our team, led by Dr. Katrina Warren, make suggestions, give advice and then come back and see how it all has evolved.

We would like interested cats and their family to tell us a little about their unique feline by emailing us at HousecatHousecallTV@gmail.com.

The show's consulting veterinarian and medical director is Dr. Stacy Fuchino of Redondo Beach.

Dog Groomers wanted.

If so, you can download the application and fill it out. It needs to be returned with a photo of yourself and a 5-10 minute videotape taken from an unedited day in your life -- as you go to your grooming, pet styling and/or mobile salon.
