As stated on my Facebook page recently, Bella is not a football fan. I'm starting to think it's not really anything to do with football but the fact that when football is on no one pays attention to her. This is not acceptable human behavior. Last night my hubby and son were playing Madden on PS3. Bella wasn't interested at first but once she tried getting their attention, a few times to no avail she came to get mommy to help her with this task.
I guess pulling me off the bar stool in the kitchen was her way of saying "back me up here". I explained to her when the boys are playing Madden; leave them alone. She didn't get it. She went back to the living room and tried blocking their view by jumping around in front of the TV and growling at their feet. Since the TV is an 83" monstrosity, that didn't work very well. They simply ignored her and continued taking jabs at each other about the others lack of sporting prowess and the dog continued ranting and raving.
Being a female I figured, I'd clue her in. Once there is a game on of any sort;, whether it be a video game, rerun of last week's highlights on ESPN, a team they don't really follow, or an actual Patriots game, there is no amount of moaning, crying, pouting, stomping, yelling and screaming. OOPS; I meant barking or growling that is going to get their attention until the game is over or at least a reprieve meaning a commercial. Good luck puppy dog - If a tantrum doesn't work for mommy it isn't going to work for you!!!
Now the question is, what do we do for the Superbowl!!! Maybe we will put her in a Giants jersey and call it a day... At least she'll have something to chew on while the rest of us watch the game.
