The Barking Lot (02/04/12)
The Barking Lot is a regular weekly feature of this just in…Written by my lovely wife, Jennifer and me. It opens with the weekend dog walking forecast followed by the main blog from dog lover, Jennifer. Then it’s DOGS IN THE NEWS and our close. Enjoy!
THE WEEKEND DOG-WALKING FORECAST: We grade the weather outlook for taking your pet outdoors.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy skies early, then partly cloudy in the afternoon. High 40. "C"
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. High of 36. "C"
Here’s my lovely wife, Jennifer with this week’s main blog:
This Sunday while Daddy is watching Super Bowl XLVI, Kyla & I will be watching Puppy Bowl VIII and enjoying every minute of it. (We won’t, however, be yelling loudly at our TV.) Could Mommy & Daughter help PB VIII draw a better rating than the Giants & Patriots? Um, probably not.
However, for those of us enjoying PB VIII we will have a new ref in charge as well as an incredible lineup of cuteness. Better than just “cute” though, the show does more than highlight who looks good on the field. This bowl game focuses on the adoptability of these darling doggies. They are always happy to share the success stories of people-and-pooch pairings like this one.
If you are like most sports enthusiasts, clearly you favor the NFL’s offering over Animal Planet’s. Although they can’t compete with NBC this Sunday, every participant is surely a winner.

Thanks, Jennifer.
