Calling All Dog Lovers

If you love dogs, especially rescue dogs, you'll LOVE the movie "Hotel For Dogs".

It's just out on video. It stars Emma Roberts (you know, Julia's niece) but the real stars are all the sweet and funny dogs. It centers on two of my favorite topics, animal rescue and adoption of children.

We loved it and give it two paws up! You can rent it today for $1.00 at Redbox, or even better, sign up at Redbox's website and they will text you a code every Monday for a free rental.
