The most notorious dog in the shelter, Gus, started barking loudly at anyone who came near him. He often barked so much that he would intentionally bump into the door of his cage.He would bark at anyone looking to adopt him. People would say that such an active dog could never be like this, seeing him behave that way.I told them I wanted to adopt him, so I put a leash on him and lifted him into the car. He sat down and fell asleep.The poor guy hadn’t slept in six months because of all the noises in the shelter; he wasn't able to sleep well due to the sounds of other animals, which stressed him out a lot.The car’s air conditioner relaxed him, and he didn't wake up for over two hours.When we got home, I left him in the room, and he climbed onto the soft bed and fell asleep.
It's been three days, and he hasn't barked or moved around.Gus wasn’t crazy; he was just tired. He just needed a place where he could sleep peacefully.
This is Bauer he’s innocent cute face like he wouldn’t be able to hurt a fly got him adopted.. little did his mom know he’s gonna turn into a chaotic agent. In his defense he got the Zoomies. Still a good boy
Generation after generation, men and women put on the uniform knowing the risk — and went anyway knowing they might not come home. Knowing their families would carry that for the rest of their lives.
To the families still carrying that weight — I see you. The pain doesn’t go away, but neither does the pride.
Freedom has never been guaranteed. It has to be earned, defended, and sometimes paid for in the hardest way imaginable. Today on Memorial Day, we stop, we slow down, and we remember those who did.
We honor them.
We thank them.
And we work hard to live up to what they died for. Keep the democracy they believed in worth believing in. That is the ultimate tribute for their sacrifice.
On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
A sweet little girl with autism brought her stuffed puppy to the dog show. One of the judges noticed her, came over, and asked if she’d like to show her dog too. What followed was pure magic...
There is no earthly reason for this woman to live this way. This is the United States of America and it is our job as citizens to bring each other up and help those that are having a hard time. Someone just needs to give this woman a chance at a good job, child care, and plenty of food on the table.
