Wednesday of last week I shared with you Harley’s impending field trip to the Bark Bowl Game. Bark Bowl Sunday – the first of what can only be an annual championship game of the NFLL (National Furry-Leg League).
The day of the scrimmage, the weather was unforgiving. The wind chills made the frigid temperature rip right through you like you wouldn’t believe. They were gone most of the day and they spent the majority of the time outdoors! Pawhaps that is why Harley returned looking exhausted and frazzled. He walked slow and sloppy, like a man who had seen the bottom of several bottles. He snored that night like Rip Van Winkle. #loud
The consensus from the other pet parents were similar to mine – their pups also laid comatose the rest of the evening! I was super anxious to see the photo’s – I could only imagine the fun they all must have had.
This years game was between the two Olde Towne Pet Resort locations. The Seahawks of Springfield traveled to the Patriots stadium at the Dulles location.
Strapped in the van, with his lunchbox in tow, Harley and the rest of the team left promptly at 10:00am…
Since Harley was a Seahawks draft pick, I shall introduce his team #biasofcourse
From left to right:
- Tucker the Retriever
- Georgie the Doodle
- Hera the Doberman
- Harley the Doodle
- Kahlua the Shepard
When they arrived, Hera made it clear there would be no interviews…
I found it entirely too difficult to select a few photos because they are all so pawcious. Team jerseys, referees, and a lot more, the staff at OTPR really went all out.
Here’s a slideshow to make you smile all doodle day!
And as with any major sporting event, there’s always those famous video clips / sound bites that only a few get to see. So feel special 🙂 because YOU are among the privileged to laugh some more…
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PATRIOTS…
Both Harley and Hera were in shock at the end of the game…
So, I’m gonna end this blog post and look after my little sports junkie. He’s still a little down, just keeps laying around hugging his jersey #sosad…

We love the daycare Bailie goes to once a week, but yours really goes over the top with ideas! How fun and how nice to be sacked out from such a fun outing.
February 2, 2015
You are so right Emma – Doodle Dad and I are seriously looking into relocating to Charleston SC (my happy place) and my heart aches when I think about not being able to take him to OTPR. They are without a doubt the greatest group of pet loving people I have ever met. Since my grown children are still here in this area, we would race to day camp overtime we come this way to visit.
February 2, 2015
As always another AWESOME blog post! We love our Harls 🙂
February 2, 2015
Thanks Katy, thanks for always include us in OTPR activities 🙂
February 2, 2015
You are by far my FAVORITE blogger. We love our Harley and had a blast during the game!
February 2, 2015
Awwhhhh – thanks Ashley. You and Harley have been furever furrends for so long – you’re like another human sister!
February 2, 2015
Doodle mom, World Class Production! Thanks for sharing. It really was an awesome day of play.
February 2, 2015
Dixie, I love the relationship Harley has with OTPR – you are truly an extension to his family…. #thanksforincludinghim
February 2, 2015
That was awesome!!
February 2, 2015
Thanks Baby – I think you and John would have loved being there to watch – pawhaps next year 🙂
February 2, 2015
Awesome! Harley’s tackle was my fave!
February 2, 2015
Ha! I loved that one too Amanda. And my second fav was his blocking the Doberman running the touchdown.
February 2, 2015
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!!! Love how many doodles are at the day care!! There is even a Dash look-alike!! Absolutely love all the pictures, the idea, the sacked out pup at the end of the day!! Congrats to you and to Old Town Pet Resort!!!
Thanks for sharing. (We were rooting for Seattle. Heartbreak city in our house last night…)
February 2, 2015
The Dash look-alike is named Bacon. I don’t know him, he’s a Dulles camper, but he sure is cute! It was a really fun day 🙂
February 2, 2015
Awesome! What a team you had.
February 2, 2015
Talent Hounds – OTPR is the best!
February 2, 2015
What a fun event!!! Looks like you all had a great time!
February 2, 2015
Dory – they had a blast 🙂 He was so tired it was hilarious!
February 2, 2015
Your daycare is so creative. Poor Harley. Did you reassure him there’s always next year?
February 2, 2015
I did Mr. N. I told him we’ve got a whole year to get it together. He didn’t seem impressed LOL
February 2, 2015
That looks like too much fun! And no cheaters or poor sports! You’ll get ’em next season, Harley!
February 3, 2015
That’s correct Jackie – there were no cheaters, and no poor sports. We certainly hope there is a next time, and we will certainly be there 🙂
February 2, 2015
OMST! I love that Harley has a seahawks jersey! You guys rock! This looks like you guys had a great time!! I wish the girls had a place to go to play ball with other dogs.
February 3, 2015
It makes a nice break for Harley Christine, now that Leo’s gone. He gets to play at least one day a week (especially in this nasty weather) with the other dogs until exhaustion! Works for me every time!
February 3, 2015
How much fun! Harley’s bowl game was so much better than ours!
February 3, 2015
Yeah, but you see Sherman WON his game LOL
February 3, 2015
Wow, that was even better than Puppy Bowl. Honey is totally jealous. She would love to have played in the Bark Bowl.
Looks like Harley earned his off-season break. And don’t worry. It will be time for summer training camp before you know it.
February 3, 2015
One things for sure Pamela, Harley is never lost for something to do! He and I will find something active and exciting to get into until summer camp indeed!
February 4, 2015
What a great time and pictures. Thanks for sharing. I bet he was tired.
February 4, 2015
JoAnn he was exhausted. He snored and slept so hard Doodle Dad kept checking on him 🙂 It was reminiscent to a time when the human children would play outside on a cold day and pass out before dinner. Too funny when you see it in a dog!
February 4, 2015
Harley,
Don’t worry, there is always next year! I know you played your heart out and losing the game WAS NOT due to a bad coaching call. It appears you guys showed great sportsmanship…unlike the humans! Your hard work will payoff for you and the team…just wait to next season!!! Hey…don’t let anyone get traded during the off season…keep the team together…we don’t want you moving to South Carolina either!
February 4, 2015
Thanks Greg – not sure what the coach has in store for Harley – but if it’s left up to him, he will be training and getting himself ready for summer camp I have no doubt!
February 2, 2015
Thanks OTPR 🙂
