Ahead of Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl X this Sunday, hype for the annual special was amped up recently when First Lady Michelle Obama and the First Family’s dogs Bo and Sunny worked to “train” some of the pups for the big game.
Joined by 12 first- and second-grade students from Harriet Tubman Elementary School, Michelle Obama, Bo and Sunny put the puppies through their paces to make sure they were ready to compete in Puppy Bowl X, and to be healthy for life. Animal Planet says it was inspired by the First Lady’s Let’s Move! initiative to overcome childhood obesity, and wanted the Puppy Bowl pooches to be ambassadors for canine fitness and fun for the whole family.
“It was so much fun to see the Puppy Bowl X Team work out at the White House,” said Michelle Obama in a release. “This year’s pups showed us that getting active and lapping up plenty of water are important ways to keep our bodies healthy and energized. And as our family has seen with Bo and Sunny, going outside to walk and play with your pet is a perfect way to get moving and have some fun every day.”
The 13 puppies taking part in this training camp were from various shelters and rescue groups. Bo and Sunny lined the dogs up for practice on the White House South Lawn to run through tire and tackle drills, hone their ball and chew-toy skills, play fetch with the kids and take water breaks. This was all followed by a nap in the grass.
Puppy Bowl X premieres Feb. 2 at 3pm ET/PT on Animal Planet.
Possible doggie ping, offset by the barf factor.
The Mooch walking Bo only has made her fat @$$ even bigger.
Back when we had grace and class in the White HOUSE.
Better keep those puppies away from Barry, they’re like veal to him.
“And as our family has seen with Bo and Sunny, going outside to walk and play with your pet is a perfect way to get moving and have some fun every day.”
So BO and MO are up at dawn, out walking the dogs in sub-zero temps?
Training puppies?
Probably using the portions of the Constitution that Barry hasn’t already used.
Is She going to be on the Puppy Bowl? If so I am not watching it.

Nope it s simpler than that.
Check around on some of the Bigfoot websites and you’ll find out that Sasquatch will eat dogs. This is part of her organic garden!
Did they bring extra poop bags to pick up Michelle’s little “accident” she left on the front lawn
I know. Does she have to ruin everything?
I’m not even a sports fan and this repels me. I can’t imagine how you guys feel.
Well, so much for the puppy bowl, it was good while it lasted.
Is there anything these creeps can’t destroy?
Where’s PETA when you need them?
Save the puppies!!!!
Are kids getting fatter since Michelle started this nonsense?
Did you see Bohner stand up and give her an ovation when Obama complimented her?
He really seemed impressed with her.
I sure am learning that white presidents better show diversity in their chosen photo ops, but black presidents don’t have to. Diversity for thee.
Boner was just jealous of Mooch’s skin color.
