Notre Dame Moves College Football Game to Make Room for Legendary 80s Rock Band

With the college football season underway, Notre Dame found itself barely in the playoffs with a 7-1 record. Hoping to climb the ranks, the team prepared to take on the No. 1 team, Miami. A crucial game for the Fighting Irish, it seemed that the university was already looking ahead to the 2027 season. And the reason had little to do with football, as the legendary Bon Jovi announced they would be performing at the historic stadium. The only problem – the Fighting Irish had a football game that same day. The main word being “had.”

'Cookie' is the active pup ready for adoption

Meet Cookie! This one-year-old sweetie is as delightful as her name suggests. Cookie was surrendered to the South Bend Animal Resource Center when her owner could no longer care for her, and now she is searching for a family to call her own. Cookie is young but she knows how to sit, and she takes her treats very gently. She would benefit from a family that is active outside. Cookie is playful and enjoys going for walks or running and playing with kids, then cuddling up for a nap with them once they are all wiped out. She likes receiving affection and then returning it by handing out her own sweet kisses. Cookie gets along well with other dogs but would prefer a home without cats. Cookie would be the perfect addition to a family looking for a dog that will complement their active lifestyle. Set up an appointment this week! Pets are available for adoption through: • South Bend Animal Resource Center, 521 Eclipse Place, South Bend. Phone: 574-235-9303. Website: beta.southbendin.gov . • Pet Refuge Inc., 4626 Burnett Drive, South Bend. Phone: 574-231-1122. Website: www.petrefuge.com . • Humane Society of St. Joseph County, 2506 Grape Road, Mishawaka. Phone: 574-255-4726.

ELKHART COUNTY – Spanning back hundreds of years, dollhouses have been a part of many people’s childhoods and family heirloom collections.
