Day 3 - Pet Pals 6th Annual 19 Days of Christmas Giveaways

Baby it is cold outside. 

We better giveaway something that will help you warm up. That is, will help you warm up if you put something warm inside of it. 

Before Day 3 item is posted, I (Pet Pal Keli) have to show you my helper. A couple months back, there was a loss in a family and this kitty kat needed a new home. This sweet girl was rescued from a shelter and there was no way we could see her go back there, so Pet Pal Keli's family took her in no questions asked. Puck the Kitty is her name. She thinks she is helping me out sooooo much by looking at me with those big blues while sitting on my.................keyboard! We LOVE her dearly (even though she does get very sassy, some call it catitude)!

Ok back to the giveaway! Take a look at what Pet Pals is giving away for Day 3! This is a 16 ounce thermal insulated, temperature retention, 100% stainless steel inside and out mug that says, "LIVE, LOVE, BARK" on both sides! Really, it is neat! Was purchased at Lewis in Sioux Falls, they have (or had) so many neat mugs there, was hard to choose. I think I stood there by the display for over 15 minutes trying to decided, LOL! Since I couldn't decided between this one and another one, I bought both. So make sure you stayed tuned to the giveaways!

Countdown to the Puppy Bowl

The one week countdown to the big game has started and Pet Pals is incredibly excited.  This year's game is poised be the biggest and best yet!  Additionally, the battle between brother coaches is all everyone is talking about, making what's been dubbed the 'Bowlnese' an epic game before it's even started.  That's right, Puppy Bowl IX, the biggest event on all fours is back and less than one week away.

Airing Sunday, Feb 3, @ 3 PM E/P on Animal Planet, this year's show is more creative than ever with all kinds of pets, tons of fun, and lots of cute puppies of course.  This year, the teams will be coached by two dogs from the same litter in honor of the two brothers coaching this year's Super Bowl teams.  Gunner and Zeus are 14-week-old Bernese Mountain Dog brothers with plenty of puppy experience and will be calling the plays that will most certainly lead to lots of puppy kiss tackles, tug-of-wars, and toys in the end-zones.

In all, there will be 63 puppies in this year's bowl game.  Each of the puppies are from shelters or rescues  and can be rafted into their forever homes for some well deserved love after their hard work on the field.  Animal Planet works with Petfinder to select the pups and will accept players from any breed or mix.

Puppies aren't the only pets featured during the Puppy Bowl though, with this year's game including at least;

• a hamster flying the blimp over the stadium,
• a kitten halftime show, including 21 kittens also from shelters and rescues and up for adoption,
• hedgehog cheerleaders,
• and the sideline reporter 'Meep the bird', who can also be followed on game day @MeepTheBird the for the latest news and behind the scenes moments.

Keith Barraclough/Discover

There are also other great game features this year, including;

• the ever popular Cute cam,
• the water bowl cam,
• a tail-gaitting party prior to the game,
• and a puppy hot tub party for the players to relax after the big game.

Find out more about this year's Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet, where you can see this year's roster for both teams and even watch the festivities on game day.
