Gotts' Thoughts On This Story

I LOVE WATCHING THE PUPPY BOWL !!! The puppies are so cute and just watching them running around and having the time of their lives is the best. I'm so glad New Jersey is sending 2 pups over the Puppy Bowl. I know I'll be routing for the Jersey pups, but lets all be routing for all the puppies to find a nice and beautiful home filled with love and care.

Thank you for taking the time out to check this story out and as always many thanks for rocking out with me and your friends on 95.9 The Rat. You can get more crazy stories by clicking right HERE. Much LOVE and CHEERS. - Gotts
