As many of you know, I'm not much of a football fan. My husband and my dogs have always loved football, but not me.

To give you an idea...
During last night's Superbowl, Jim asked:

Isn't Tom Brady dating Jessica Simpson?

To which I replied:

NO... Jessica Simpson was dating Tony Romo! Now quit asking me all these football questions, would ya?

Yes, that is the extent of my football knowledge, folks.

So anyway... last night before, during, and after Superbowl XLII, I channel-surfed over to Animal Planet and watched some of Puppy Bowl IV with my dog.

Here's how that went. [Hint: too cute!]

What follows is my growing collection of dogs that have been photographed wearing Halloween costumes.

People send me these types of pictures all the time via email. But I don't like to post 'em online unless I can credit where they came from.

In support of all dogs everywhere...

In an effort to bring greater awareness to the issue of animal abuse, and give your dog a little something to gnaw on, I thought I'd share with you an interesting new dog toy called The Vick Dog Chew Toy.

[Thanks for the heads up, Randy.]

For those who enjoy the sight of a dog sprinting... with full-out dogged determination and a purpose...

You'll surely enjoy these running dog photos.

Running brings pure joy... as seen in these dogs' eyes.

The following funny dog pictures represent some downright serious determination on the part of our four-legged friends.

In each photograph, it's as if the dog is saying, "I'm not giving up this toy... no matter what!"

See for yourself...
