While we may have seen a great performance by Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton on last night's Superbowl, Miranda is coping with the loss of a family member.  Her family dog, Dixie, of 20-years, passed away.  She stated she hoped everyone was right by saying, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." 

More Miranda news, especially if you're also a fan of Law & Order.  Miranda will make her acting debut this Wednesday on Law & Order SVU.  The show airs at 10pm on NBC.

Speaking of country music stars and dogs, George Strait adopted a Golden Retreiver puppy recently.  The "King of country" got the dog from a breeder in North Carolina.  The dog's name is Jammer.  It is speculated Jammer will accompany George on the road in the tour bus for his latest tour.
