While lounging around the house after eating Thanksgiving dinner I was channel surfing and came across the National Dog Show! I always love to watch the various breeds prance around the ring (they know they are champions) and really I like them all, but of course I do have a soft spot for a certain breed... ;-) Breaking sports news video . MLB , NFL , NBA , NHL highlights and more . Who did you cheer for?

Still, she grieves him when he’s lost in battle, the letters sent to her by the medic at his side giving her a strange comfort, so much that she strikes up a correspondence with Peter Hess, an Iowa farmboy.
