The Importance of THE PUPPY BOWL

     Every year, Animal Planet broadcasts their wonderful show called The Puppy Bowl, on Super Bowl Sunday.

     But did you know, that along with spotlighting some of most adorable puppies imaginable, they also have a one hundred percent adoption rate for all these pups! Yes, one hundred percent of those puppies get adopted! This year it was 90 adoptale puppies from 48 states! I find that just so heartwarming.

     They also find as many rescues from all over the country, including, this year, Florida and Texas, to get the pups from.
This year they even featured a puppy, named Mango, who was rescued off the streets of Mexico by
Compassion Without Borders, and taken to their other rescue in California.
                                                                         Mango

     They also featured a gorgeous puppy named Moonshine, who is totally deaf and sight impaired, along with another beauty named Sophie, who has three legs. What a wonderfully compassionate move on Animal Planets part. Bravo to them!

     This year, for the very first time, they had a Dog Bowl, spotlighting older, less likely to get adopted dogs. Another stroke of genius, that pulls at our heart stings, and gets older dogs adopted!
                                           


     Needless to say, ALL of the puppies and dogs were beautiful, and all of them unique in their own special way.                              

     So, move over Tom Brady, you don't even come CLOSE to being the cutest player on the field this year...not. even. close.  Just look at the handsome face of Mr. Wigglesworth! I can't even....
                                                               Mr. Wigglesworth  

     In case you were wondering, TEAM FLUFF took home the Lombarky Trophy, for the second year in a row!
     But really, it's not about who wins and who loses in The Puppy Bowl. What's really important is that each and every dog finds their forever home and family.

     And that means, every little wiggly body wins! That's what's most important to us on Super Bowl Sunday.

                                London's favorite dog was this gorgeous Shiba Inu named Kitsy!

WHAT IS COMPASSION SCHOOL?

  I get this question a lot. What is Compassion School? It’s not just another program or curriculum—it’s a movement. Compassion School is a groundbreaking approach to education designed to nurture empathy, kindness, and respect for animals in children from an early age. Imagine a classroom where math, science, and language arts intertwine with lessons on understanding animal emotions, advocating for creatures in need, and recognizing the interconnectedness of all life. That’s Compassion School.   Why Focus on Empathy for Animals?   Children are naturally curious about animals, but that curiosity isn’t always guided toward understanding and respect. Traditional education often overlooks emotional intelligence toward non-human lives. Compassion School fills that gap. Here’s why it matters:    Empathy as a Foundation: Empathy isn’t just "being nice"—it’s a critical life skill. Studies show that children who practice empathy toward animals develop stronger...

Mirrors Of Kindness

  Mirrors of Kindness: How Adult Role Models Shape Our Empathy     Empathy isn’t just taught—it’s absorbed. The quiet way adults treated a crying child, a stray animal, or a struggling stranger imprinted on us forever.   Children are empathy sponges. When a parent:   - Stopped to help a turtle cross the road...   - Spoke gently to a fearful dog...   - Listened deeply to a lonely neighbor...   ...they weren’t just being kind. They were modeling neural blueprints for compassion. Mirror neurons in our brains fire when we witness empathy, literally shaping how we relate to pain.    But what if your models were flawed?  The good news: Empathy is learnable at any age. Start by recalling one positive example:   "My grandpop never passed a homeless person without offering food. He taught me: *Kindness requires action.*      Identify one empathetic adult from your past. What did they mod...
