Yipee!!

Charlie was born in Indiana and I grew up in Indianapolis, so to have the Indianapolis Colts playing in the SuperBowl today was really special! And to play against neighboring Chicago (the Bears)... excellent!! It's been decades since either team did so well, so we're happy for both of them, but we do have a soft spot for the Colts.







First we got our snacks together, because what's SuperBowl without some chips?














At opening kickoff, when the rival Chicago Bears immediately scored a touchdown, it looked like we were in really big trouble!












First quarter: "Oh, woe is us! The Colts look terrible. Freda and Wally (who are Bears fans) are probably pretty happy about now, though...














Then the game turned in the Colt's favor. "Mom? Can this be happenin? Suddenly we're not lookin' so bad..."














Yippeee!! An interception and a touchdown!!!






"Ok, Mom, our little horses won; they beat those big bad bears! Now let us play some ball!"

Even tho I love to play football, I don't follow all the games, because SHE likes to watch people skate around with sticks on slippery white stuff chasing a little black thingy. I still want to send my congrats to the horsies for playing the game I love!!!

Love nibbles,
Miss Sunshade

The moms really enjoyed the game, but all the yelling was a little disruptive to me. We were for the Colts, too!

P.S. I wish the super bowl was a big bowl of food instead.

hey charlie--looks like you enjoyed the games (and those sweet potato chips are the greatest!!!!!) i agree with sherman. the super bowl should mostly be about big bowls of food. the colts fans could celebrate and we bears fans could drown our sorrow in snacks.

Pretty spectacular game. I was convinced the passing game would tank in the rain. I was at IU when the Colts rolled out of Baltimore at midnight to move to Indie (and in Tucson when the Cards moved to Phoenix). After so many years it's nice to see them have some success.

I LOVE Charlie! I stumbled upon your blog just by searching "dogs with blogs". You take great pics and charlie is adorable. I have two dogs and love dogs in general. In fact, my second job is working at a doggie day care! Keep up the great pics and the great work!

Hey, Charlie. Glad you were happy with Colts winning. I'm not into football all that much. Probably a girl thing. But if you're happy, I'm happy!!

Love, Mary-Margaret

Hi C-Bux,

Im glad your team did OK. We didn't watch the game this year, if Dad's team isnt playing, he doesnt want to know about it :-)

I hope you gave the game a "Roll of Approval" :-)
