Before we settled in for a night of watching the Super Bowl on the boob tube, the boys and I headed out to get some play time in.
We had just received several inches of the white stuff, which gives us an optimum playing field.
This is normally play time for Leroy and I because Sherman usually opts to find a stick and lay down and chew on it but on this day he was quite annoyed that the white stuff had hidden all of his sticks.
He searched for a few minutes but eventually decided that the snow had eaten them all.
I thought he was just going to head back inside but much to my delight he went and dug out his football from the patio.
Leroy was just as shocked as I was.
I normally don’t play hardcore fetch with Sherman because of his bum knee.
We usually play inside in a contained, padded environment.
But who could resist this face?
Right?
Game on then.
In the first half he took the ball all the way in for a touchdown and had perfect form while doing it.
Just like he did when he was a rookie.
He made a few nice grabs in the second half.
But unfortunately we couldn’t finish the game because Leroy tried to make a few illegal tackles and even tried roughing the passer so we called it quits before someone got a concussion again………………………… but it was definitely a bowl game to remember 🙂
p.s. I don’t have the code for MM yet. As soon as I get it I will put it in. Sorry!

I try to take advantage of those rare opportunities also. Or when the dogs start wrestling or chasing each other, I will stop to watch. Life goes too fast not to.

Love that Sherman got in the super bowl spirit with a little football. Sounds like Leroy needs to be benched - although I'm happy he's feeling so good that he's up to his old tricks.

That looks like a great game. I bet Storm would have loved to join in, of course she would hog the ball. :)

That's better than the puppy bowl! Next year you should stream it live on the web. Pay per view!
