The List for Thursday, June 3rd 2021

Welcome to The List,

Jordan Davis talks about how the pandemic showed him what was really important. And that was family.  “For me that was my faith, family and friends. I was able to see what life was like without music, Everything was still tickin, the world was still spinning and nothing changed outside of my family life.”

Shania Twain is one of the best-selling artists of all time, but according to the star, her best work is yet to come.  Of course COVID slowed the process, but she plans to release her new album before Christmas. Shania continues her Las Vegas residency December 2nd.

Do YOU believe in ghosts?? The Queen sure does, The Daily Express reports that Queen Elizabeth believes in ghosts and never has just 13 place settings at her dinner table. Not because she is superstitious but in case guests are and she has several lucky charms in her handbag."

Culture Club star Boy George has lent his voice to the Waze navigation app to celebrate Pride Month. “A cup of tea is great excuse to talk…so is a drive….which is why I think driving and tea go together brilliantly…speaking of which..Let’s brew..turn right.”

And we will turn right into the next story…Adidas has created a new Bart Simpson sneaker called the El Barto. The $65 white shoe has El Barto written in black on the side along with a picture of Bart.  I think people will be lining up for this one….

You can catch The List weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

I’m real thankful that people can relate to them as much as I do.” Well, if he ever messes up it’s good to know he can write an apology letter…and set it to music…forgiven!!

Dylan Scott talks about life during the pandemic and what he focuses on.. “It’s been weird, to be honest with you, it’s been a weird year for sure.

James Corden has a new movie coming out ‘Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway’ an all ages film…what’s this one about?  “The film is about love and family and how those things will always be the anchor in your life.  It’s really fun, it’s really funny.  If you enjoyed the first one you’ll definitely like this movie. ”'Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway' hits theaters Friday, June 11th.

Rosie-6/1/2021

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK, ROSIE!!

This is Rosie and she has had her own road to recovery after having major surgery on her back leg from having a luxating patella. She was born 11/3/19 in the shelter and has grown up to be a real beauty! She has been in a wonderful foster home from before the surgery and has been enjoying life ever since. Her foster family loves her dearly but feel that this young gal would be happiest with a family with children. Rosie likes other dogs, doesn't mind cats and will give many kisses to kids!

Rosie is still in foster and it would be so amazing to transition her from home to a home without a kennel stay in the mix. Rosie has been through a lot, she has learned what real love is and what it means to

trust people. If you are looking for a dog that is housebroke, good with other animals and loves kids then Rosie is your girl! Give us a call today to schedule a meet and greet!

Her adoption fee is $125.00 which covers her spay, a microchip, vaccinations, various other treatments, and a full medical history of everything she has had done.
