Wow! The Alabama Crimson Tide has won the National Championship for the first time in 18 years. We're on top again. How did you like the game? It was a little touch and go for a while there, wasn't it? But our guys pulled it off. Since Colt McCoy, Texas Longhorns' quarterback got injured in the first few plays of the game, some people are saying it wasn't a "fair fight". Do you think it was? Do you think the Crimson Tide played their best game? Or was a earlier game--maybe Auburn at the Iron Bowl or Florida at the SEC Championship a better display of Tide's talent? Read what the sports writers are saying here.

Reeses is "Dog of the Week" this week for Huntsville Animal Services. This three year old Aussie/German Sheppard mix. This sweet guy is very loveable. He gets along well with other dogs and he adores people. Won't you give this gentle giant a loving home and someone to call his own and love unconditionally?

Cali & Squash are this week's "Kittens of the Week" for Huntsville Animal Services. These little cuddle-balls are five weeks old. They are playful and energetic and as you can see like each other. The shelter would like to adopt them out as a pair. They are not at the shelter, but you can contact the shelter to find out how to contact their foster mom. Help keep this brother & sister together for life!
