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.
Training camp or poop camp?
Moochelle looks very stupid. Is she on drugs?
There are only nine children in the photo. What happened to the other 3?
Who carried that ONE water bowl for the dogs?
Is that a manual teleprompter in the background?
Moochelle looks extremely crazy.
I count only eight
Sorry to have to say this, but look between Michelle’s legs - I think that’s the bottom half of a kid, making it 9 (or at least 8 1/2).
No actually I read a few years ago their dog walker gets paid like $125,000 a year.

“Is there any part of our lives that they won’t stick their noses into?”
Just (unsuccessfully) pretending to be relevant to anyone outside of the ghetto; this cow is on kids’ shows and such doing the same. I’m glad she is so grotesque in appearance; most children will not view her as someone they can relate to. Even libs admit nobody (on either side of the aisle) even listens to Obama anymore when he speaks; they all know it is meaningless blather fabricated to invent a “legacy”. When he leaves office and the economy is in much worse shape than when he was ordained our king, we will hear how he fixed things and gave healthcare to all, while his wife got America in shape. A completely bogus legacy...
Same here...Guess Downton Abbey and then bed.
They cant stay away from a camera.
I used to enjoy the Puppy Bowl, but I guess I’m done with it now. At least she isn’t telling me what I should feed my own dog... yet.
Initially, with the ‘cutesy’ writeup, I thought this was satire .... sadly, not so.
never mind.
Great. Even the Puppy Bowl has to be soiled by the ever-present fat-bottomed beast.
