Toby 9/3/2024

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK, TOBY!!!

Toby is a 1 year old Boarder Collie/ Lab mix that was surrendered because his owner didn’t have enough time for him.

Toby came in confused and frightened, but after time and staff working with him, he has opened up into a sweet and loving dog companion. Playing fetch with a ball is his favorite thing to do. Toby is an active dog and need an active family to keep up with him.

Toby’s adoption fee covers his neuter, vaccines, microchip, heartworm test and various other treatments. If you are interested in Toby, please stop by the front desk or call 641-753-9046.

The List for Friday, June 6th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Lainey Wilson just launched a new line of boots—because apparently country music and bedazzled footwear weren’t enough. It’s called Golden West, and she threw a bougie little launch party in Nashville with Ella Langley and Shaboozey, because obviously. Four new boot designs, So if you’ve ever wanted to stomp heartbreak with rhinestones on your feet—Lainey’s got you covered.

-----

Forget blocking your ex—Dakota Johnson went full National Geographic on a guy who broke her friend’s heart. She admitted she mailed him a gallon of GORILLA poop. From a site literally called PoopSenders.com. You can pick cow, elephant, gorilla, or a poop party mix—because revenge is a buffet now. And it’s only $29.95! That’s cheaper than therapy! Oh, and she knows where to get pubic crabs too, but “she’s not a monster.” Just... creative.

-----

Tom Cruise wants $35 to $40 million up front to strap back into a fighter jet for Top Gun 3. Because apparently, gravity doesn’t apply to egos. The studio’s still “working on the script,” which means “praying Tom approves.” He gave them a discount last time—how generous—but now he wants the GDP of a small country just to show up. And spoiler: no Tom, no Top Gun. That franchise is basically his Scientology side hustle at this point.

-----

Bailey Zimmerman is officially launching the SPF-free revolution, folks. He told People that men—especially redheads—deserve the right to spray tan without judgment. “Legalize tans for men!” he says. Like he’s fighting the patriarchy one orange glow at a time. Honestly, I didn’t realize we were spray-tan shaming dudes now—but Bailey’s out here doing the Lord’s work… with a can of bronze mist.

The List for Thursday, June 5th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The guitar Michael J. Fox absolutely obliterates at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance? In Back to the Future? Yeah, it’s been missing since 1985—poof, gone, like Biff’s dignity. It’s a cherry red Gibson ES-345 and Gibson’s basically playing musical “Wanted” posters to get it back. Even Marty himself is pleading for its return in a video. Bonus fact: the guitar’s from the '60s, even though the scene was set in '55. So not only is it missing—it’s a time-traveling anachronism. Perfect...

-----

Jason Aldean just torched the whole encore charade. He said, “I’m not gonna leave the stage, make you beg, then stroll back out like it’s a surprise.” No, sir—he plays it all, drops the mic, and that’s it. Respect. None of this “Oh gee, did you really want to hear ‘Dirt Road Anthem?’” Dude, we know it's coming. This ain’t a magic show. It’s country music, not Criss Angel.

------

Allegedly, Blake Lively just got booted from Taylor Swift’s inner circle, and she’s forming her own squad—less pop stars, more...whoever’s available. Sources say Taylor’s over the drama, and Blake’s out here auditioning new friends like it’s The Real Housewives of Manhattan. No tears, just a chilled glass of “watch me glow up without you.” The pettiness? Vintage. The revenge arc? Chef’s kiss.

----

Headed to CMA Fest? Buckle up, honky-tonk hero. First, it's a clear bag only situation—so unless your purse is see-through like your ex’s promises, leave it at home. Ditch the cowboy boots too unless you’re into blisters and bad decisions. Oh, and plot twist—you don’t have to pay to see music. There’s free music all over the place. It’s like Coachella, but with more denim and less judgment.
