luna

Luna 8/24/20 ADOPTED!!!!

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK, LUNA!!!

Luna is a sweet border collie mix who craves tons of human affection! She was surrendered to us because of separation anxiety but has done very well here with her canine friends in the room to comfort her when humans are not around. We think she would do well in the home with another dog. She is often a bit of a "Nervous Nellie" when she is in a new environment. Once she gets used to her new family, she will warm up and crave constant attention. Luna is partially blind, but you could be the apple of her good eye!

Luna's adoption fee is $125. This covers vaccinations, neuter/spay, microchip, and any preventative medications received. You can download an adoption application at www.arlmarshalltown.com or pick up a form when you visit us in person.

Tim McGraw has a new album out and we got to ask about the feel and sound of it... "If you ever listen to much of my music, I mean, I have a pretty wide spectrum of styles usually in my albums. There’s some that lean more modern and there’s some that lean more traditional, and everything in between. So, I think I’ve really got a pretty wide scope on this record. There’s a couple that are really traditional. Tim's new album "Here on Earth" is out today.

Russell Crowe has a new movie in theaters this weekend called "Unhinged" but when asked about "Gladiator" he said it Wrecked His Body "So, I carry alot of injuries from films, but I'm saying this without meaning to sound sad about it. I don't regret any of those decisions. But, you know at fifty-six, I do feel it on a daily basis." This year is the 20th anniversary of "Gladiator"

Dr. Phil adopted two eight week-old puppies, named "Blue" and "Einstein." "These are two new rescue pups that we got...this is blue...they're brothers, they're eight weeks old he has blue eyes. We lost our sweet Maggie about three years ago, and we just waited until it felt right. Don't go buy dogs...don't buy pets, you gotta rescue."

The Tonight Show Monologue ... Jimmy Fallon jokes that researchers in Finland have found a cure for a hangover. "Finally, a group of researchers from Finland said that they've found a cure for hangovers...everyone's like..Yeah, there's already been a cure for hangovers....it's called more booze..." I thought everyone knew that too...

Welcome to The List,

Justin Moore is looking forward to getting back on the road and raising a glass with fans again ... "You know, it’s funny, because ‘Why We Drink’ is one of those songs that, when we first started playing it, before it was on the radio, people were singin’ along by the second chorus. That doesn’t always happen, it’s fun, people singin’ along, they’re raisin’ drinks up, the whole bit."

Rascal Flatts' Jay DeMarcus talks about one of the hardest parts of filming His Family's New Reality Show "I think for me, it's going to be taking my shirt off to get into the bathtub. It's pretty pasty white, I'm not going to lie...gonna need some powder that day" I feel your pain...adding it took a while to get used to ignoring the cameras "DeMarcus Family Rules" is currently streaming on Netflix.

The Daily Show and asked Americans what celebrity they want as their next President.

Morgan Freeman

Denzel Washington

Tom Hanks

Samuel L Jackson...interesting choice....

and The Rock round out the top five.

A video of Chris Hemsworth has gone viral...relaying a series of wholesome and positive affirmations on social media. It's more of a motivational pep talk, really...Well, here...we'll let HIM tell you.. “Hey you, yes you! Today is your day. You got this. You're absolutely crushing it at everything you do, from your job to maintaining a social life to pursuing your passion project, you are killing it! Ignore anyone who tells you otherwise because you're amazing.” If those comforting words weren't enough, he added: “The only thing more beautiful than your smile is your personality. You're more than capable of taking on the world, the whole world, by storm. Speaking of the world, did you know that it's a better place because you're in it?” “I mean, your mum brags about you all the time. Dogs love you. You're strong, you're confident, you're intelligent, you're charismatic - you're the total package! On a scale from one to 10, you're an 11. You make me want to be a better man. You're bloody brilliant. Don't forget it, okay? Do not forget it.” Chris concluded: “Take the day by storm and remember this, I'm proud of you. I'm so proud of you!” ...Dogs love...me??
