We just want you to know that The Mobile Rundown is turning 12 and ‘you are invited to my birthday party!’ (and if you haven’t seen the movie Peanut Butter Falcon, we highly recommend it).
We’re throwing a Silent Disco Headphone Party!
Yep, that’s right.
Note: Look, Mobile, I know we all like to wait until the last minute to get our tickets (or headphones). We are going to need to place our headphone order by January 2, 2024. So you best secure headphones as some Christmas stocking stuffers or something. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

🐶This Baby Needs A Mommy….😺
From Wags and Whiskers:
“Sweet Momma Sally Mae’s babies are now 6 weeks old and are just as cute as can be. They are growing and doing well. We have two sweet babies as well as Sally Mae still looking for a forever home. The babies will be ready at 9 weeks old once they have had their second round of vaccines and are altered. Momma is a Bassett/Terrier Mix who weighs around 25 lbs. She is as sweet as they come and around 2-3 years old. We believe dad is a terrier. Adult size likely will be in the 20-30 lb range. We are taking applications now and will be reserving these sweet things for the perfect forever families! Our adoptions are NOT on a first come first serve basis and there is no fee to apply! We never state any animal is fully House-trained. New environments, situations, families, routines, etc. can lead to accidents even with the most well-trained animals.
All dogs have a $175 adoption fee which includes vet check, age-appropriate shots (at least 2 sets for puppies), dewormer, heartworm test (if over 6 months), rabies (if at least 16 weeks) and spay/neuter!.”
