OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS SYLVIE!!

Sylvie is a young, playful pup who is still learning the basics and eager to soak everything in. She has classic puppy energy and loves to run, play, and explore the world around her. They think she is between one and two years old

Sylvie is very treat-motivated, which makes training sessions fun and rewarding, and she enjoys learning new things with positive reinforcement. Her happy, energetic personality makes her a joy to be around, and she would thrive in a home ready to help her grow, learn, and burn off some puppy energy.

Sylvie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm tested, and microchipped, and she’s ready to find a loving family to guide her as she continues to grow into a wonderful companion. 🐾💛 More info

The List for Monday, February 9th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Lainey Wilson says she would absolutely jump back into the saddle for upcoming Yellowstone spin-offs. She told creator Taylor Sheridan she would gladly reprise her role. Country star. Acting chops. Cowboy hats. Honestly, at this point Lainey just lives in fringe and Montana. And we are not mad about it.

-----

Adam Sandler says that viral video about his daughter getting humiliated in a Chanel store is completely fake. The AI clip shows him storming in and dropping $312,000 on handbags. He says the whole story is 100 percent insane and made-up. However… The midnight In-N-Out burger run rumor? He says that one is true. Priorities.

-----

Rumor alert. Reports claim Taylor Swift has allegedly decided not to invite Blake Lively or Ryan Reynolds to her upcoming wedding. Sources say she wants a drama-free day and still feels burned from being pulled into Blake’s legal mess. Allegedly. Emphasis on allegedly. Nothing says romance like a very selective guest list.

-----

Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have reportedly split. Again. That makes three times. At this point it is less “will they or won’t they” and more “we’ll circle back.” Call me when it sticks.

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
