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....

     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!

The Uncondtional Teachers

  The Unconditional Teachers: How Pets Awaken Our Deepest Compassion   Before we learned empathy from people, our pets were our first mentors in compassion. Their quiet presence didn’t just fill our homes—it rewired our hearts. We’ve all felt it: that instinctive pull to comfort a trembling puppy, soothe a sick cat, or sit patiently with an aging dog. Science shows this isn’t just sentiment—it’s biology. When we stroke a pet’s fur, our brains release oxytocin (the "bonding hormone"), lowering stress and priming us for empathy. Pets teach us compassion through their raw vulnerability: they can’t speak, hide pain well, or survive without us. Caring for them trains us to:   - Notice subtle cues (a drooping tail, hiding)   - Respond without judgment - Practice selfless giving  Studies reveal children with pets show higher emotional intelligence. Why? Because feeding a hungry creature or calming a thunder-phobic dog builds neural pathways for empathy—p...
