Ellie came back to visit one of our veterinary partners for a checkup, and we were all wowed by how much she's grown! 😸 It's night and day compared to the tiny, sickly kitten who first came into our care last year.

When Ellie first came to us as a single kitten, found without her mother, she was struggling with severe bowel issues and an upper respiratory infection. Dedicated veterinary care, day after day, brought her back from the brink. And soon, she caught the eye of one of the clinic's clients! No need for a Petfinder profile; Ellie had a loving home waiting for her as soon as she was healed and ready.

Now here we are, 8 months later, and we couldn't be happier to see how well she's doing! 💙 Thank you for helping us save Ellie and so many more cats and kittens every day. Your support makes it all possible: https://t.co/vlXUwprlLu.

The most iconic solo dance scene in cinema history – Saturday Night Fever (1977)John Travolta as Tony Manero explodes on the 2001 Odyssey dance floor with the Bee Gees’ "You Should Be Dancing". The crowd instantly clears the floor, the disco lights flash, and Tony becomes the undisputed “King of the Dance Floor” in just a few minutes!
Did you know?
• Travolta trained for 5–9 months, running and dancing 3 hours every day, losing nearly 20 lbs (9 kg) to get that perfect physique.
• He almost quit the role because the studio initially wanted to film only from the waist up. Travolta insisted on full-body shots so audiences could see every step of his incredible footwork.
• The scene wasn’t shot in one take - it was skillfully edited from 14 different shots, yet feels completely seamless.This is the moment that turned John Travolta into a superstar and sparked the global disco fever!

My dogs have access to the backyard via a dog door.

Occasionally Theo will bust in the door, plop down next to me. Like a kid coming inside from playing because he needs a break.
Then he looks me right in the eye then stares back outside.

First time he did it I asked “Where’s Cookie?” Then I went outside to find her and she was on the side of the house chewing a remote control.

I joked that he came in to tell on her. 😂

But he’s done it at least 4 more times since.
Now I pick up on it right away. And I’ve caught her digging under the fence, digging up a plant, chewing up a shoe…

Theo is a good boy and a tattle tale!

"My son Ryan was 24. He came home from Afghanistan in a flag-draped coffin on a Tuesday. Max was his dog. Ryan trained him from a puppy. They were inseparable for four years. We couldn't tell Max. I don't know how you tell a dog. I don't know if you can. All I know is that Max lay against Ryan's bedroom door every single night for eleven days. Not inside the room. Against the door. Like he was keeping it for him. Like he was making sure nobody closed it all the way."

On the twelfth day I sat down on the hallway floor beside him.

I don't know why the twelfth day.

I had walked past him eleven times.

The twelfth time my legs just stopped.

I sat down on the floor and I put my hand on his back and I said Ryan's name out loud for the first time since the men in dress uniforms

came to my door.

Max lifted his head.

He looked at me.

He put his head in my lap.

We sat there on the hallway floor for a long time.

Neither of us went into the room.

Neither of us was ready.

Maybe neither of us will ever be ready.

That's okay.

The door is still not closed all the way.

Some people you just keep a place for.

Ryan.

Max is still at your door.

He's going to be at your door.

We both are.

Drop a ❤️ for Ryan.

You are not carrying this alone.

Jason served two deployments in Syria and has been home for five years, but the nightmares never stopped. Every night around 4 AM he wakes drenched in sweat, convinced he's back in Raqqa. His brother urged professional help; Jason insisted he'd handle it himself.

Last April, his elderly neighbor passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind her Rottweiler.

Jason took him in and named him Bear. The first night Jason had a nightmare, Bear climbed onto the bed unprompted - eighty-six pounds across Jason's chest. Jason didn't thrash. He just breathed. Bear stayed for three hours. It happens every night now, like clockwork.

Jason's brother recorded it and showed their VA group counselor, who watched and said: "That's clinical pressure therapy. That's what certified PTSD dogs are trained to do for tens of thousands of dollars."

Bear never had a single day of formal training. He just knew what an American veteran needed before he did.

In 1945 the USS Indianapolis secretly delivered the parts for the atomic bomb that would hit Hiroshima.

Days later, mission done, a Japanese submarine put two torpedoes into her. She sank in 12 minutes.

Nearly 900 men made it off the ship alive and into the open ocean. Then it got worse.

No one knew they were missing. Three separate Navy stations picked up the distress signals and every one of them ignored it. One officer thought it was a Japanese trap. Another had ordered not to be disturbed.

So the men floated. For almost five days. No food, no fresh water, burning by day and freezing at night. Some drank seawater and went insane. And the whole time, the sharks were circling and feeding. It is considered the worst shark attack in human history.

When rescue finally came by accident, only 316 of the nearly 1,200 crew were still alive.

The Navy needed someone to blame for the disaster. They chose Captain Charles McVay, one of the men who survived it. He became the only U.S. captain in the entire war to be court-martialed for losing his ship to the enemy.

At his trial the Navy did something almost unheard of. They brought in the Japanese commander who sank the ship to testify against him. Instead, the enemy captain told the court that zigzagging would have made no difference and that McVay did nothing wrong.

They convicted him anyway.

For years afterward McVay got hate mail from the families of the dead. Some sent letters every Christmas telling him he murdered their sons. In 1968 he walked onto his front lawn and shot himself, holding a toy sailor he had kept since he was a boy.

Case closed. For fifty years.

Then in 1996 an 11-year-old named Hunter Scott watched Jaws with his dad and got hooked on the 30 second speech about the Indianapolis. He made it his sixth grade history project.

He tracked down and interviewed nearly 150 survivors. He dug through more than 800 documents. And buried in there he found what the Navy had left out, including that they knew enemy subs were operating right on the ship's route and never warned McVay.

A kid's school project turned into a national story. It reached Congress. In 2000 lawmakers passed a resolution clearing McVay's name and President Clinton signed it. The Navy officially cleared his record in 2001.

The captain the Navy spent decades blaming was finally exonerated by a sixth grader.

Hunter Scott grew up and became a naval flight officer.

Pharmacist handed me someone else's medication and I didn't realize until I got home.

Opened the bag. Pills I'd never seen before. Name on the bottle said "Robert Chen."

I'm not Robert Chen.

Drove back. Different pharmacist at the counter.

Me: Wrong medication. This is for Robert Chen.

Her: Let me check.

She scanned it.

Her: System says Robert Chen picked this up twenty minutes ago.

Me: I picked it up. I'm David Park.

Her: Did you show ID?

Me: Nobody asked for ID.

She called the guy who'd helped me over. He looked panicked.

Him: I definitely checked ID.

Me: You asked my name and handed me a bag.

Him: (pause) Oh no.

Turned out Robert Chen picked up my medication at the same time. Same confusion. Nobody checked anything properly.

Her: I'll call Mr. Chen.

She called him on speaker.

Robert: Hello?

Her: Did you pick up your prescription today?

Robert: Yes, why?

Her: Can you check the name on the bottle?

Robert: (pause) This says David Park.

Her: You're Robert Chen?

Robert: Yes.

Her: And David Park is here with your medication.

Robert: (laughed) How did this happen?

Her: We're very sorry. Can you come back?

Robert: I'm forty minutes away. Can David just bring it to me and we swap?

She looked uncomfortable but agreed.

Drove to his house. He opened the door holding my medication and a coffee mug.

Robert: This is ridiculous.

Me: Completely.

We swapped bags. He invited me in for coffee. Seemed rude to refuse.

Talked for an hour. He told me about his daughter in Portland. I told him about my job.

Robert: Want my number in case they mess up again?

Me: You think they will?

Robert: That guy seemed very flustered.

He texted me two weeks later asking if I wanted to meet at the pharmacy to double-check our prescriptions.

We did. Both correct this time.

Got coffee after anyway.

We've been meeting for coffee every other Thursday for three months now.

My girlfriend thinks it's weird I'm friends with a seventy-year-old I met through a pharmacy error.

But Robert gives better advice than most of my actual friends.

Plus we both switched to CVS.

Just in case.

[The Guardian, 5/5⭐️ Review]

‘BTS review – pure joy and astonishing versatility at K-pop titans’ first UK show in seven years’

“It’s a film that comes to mind while watching BTS play their first UK show in seven years, an unbelievably enjoyable spectacle of pyro and panoptical staging, and the purest distillation of what makes a boyband precision-engineered to capture fans’ hearts. BTS are the biggest K-pop group in the world. With more than 40m albums sold, they have a fanbase so fervent it is called the Army.

…No matter how drilled we know K-pop bands to be, BTS’s versatility is still astonishing. The stands literally shake as they thunder through pop-rap crossover Hooligan; the Tame Impala-indebted Like Animals cements their prowess with balladry, soft and floaty enough to feel like it’s being sung directly to each of the 62,000 people in the room. The industrial-level bangers mid-show are a thrilling energy release and the surprise songs that aren’t usual setlist fixtures seem to delight even the band, who grin and sing along to each other’s parts.

The joy onstage is reflected back approximately one million-fold. It reverberates through the wall of screams and the sea of lit-up Bomb sticks. Girls have photos of their favourite members woven into their hair and dangling off handbags. They end on a gentle note, motioning to each other to take out their in-ear monitors to hear fans sing Into the Sun back to them. I started the show ambivalent and by the end I had a favourite member (Jimin) and an urge to learn Korean. I wanted to make them my wallpaper and bump into them at Duck & Waffle. I didn’t even have a Bomb stick so if they were controlling my mind it was through other means. Whatever BTS has, it’s potent.“
