    Football season is upon us. Order the Buffalo wings, clear off the couch and check your cable packages. While you're doing all that, animals are preparing in their own way. Critters across the country are passing around the pigskin and putting on their team garb to ready themselves for the joyous thrill of the game. 

    I'M COMING

    "I may be too short to make the team, but I have the right fetching skills to make a superior ball boy."
