Shelbey Hennick is the granddaughter anyone could ask for. This compassionate 21-year-old young lady always knows how to make her granny laugh. But this time, it looked like she had to put a bit more effort in order to lift lovely grandma Donna’s spirit. The poor woman fell ill and ended up at the hospital. Shelbey knew she had to do everything she could to cheer her loving grandma up.
A bunch of interesting ideas went through her mind, but eventually one that couldn’t be surpassed popped up.
Although what she had on mind was a bit tricky, she was determined to proceed with her plan of bringing Donna’s best friend Patsy for a visit. Patsy is the sweetest little pooch this grandma loves with all her heart.

Shelby shared with Inside Edition the touching story of Donna. She took the puppy in while it was till a baby and nurtured her from the day she entered her home. From bottle feeding, to making sure she has the coziest life a puppy could have, Patsy became an inseparable part of Donna’sx existence.
“She’s had this dog forever, and this dog is her baby. She was small enough to fit in the palm of her hand.”
YouTube
The way everything unfolded resembles a movie-like scene. Not having the time to take a veterinarian permission to bring Patsy to the hospital, Shelby did something that made us laugh.
She wrapped Patsy into a blanket and entered the hospital, deceiving the staff into believing she was caring a baby.
She told Inside Edition that she wasn’t really worried about the repercussions.
“It was just so spur-of-the-moment and I didn’t have time to go to my grandma’s veterinarian’s office… Nobody would have stopped me to see my baby. The worst they could have told me was to leave.”
Seeing her puppy was the ultimate surprise that made Donna feel better in an instant.
“It made her a lot happier. She wasn’t feeling very good and it made her more relaxed. She did go home the next day. Medically, it didn’t have anything to do with Patsy, but I’m still thinking it had a little bit to do with her.”

Take a look at the video and see how this lovely granddaughter put her crazy plan into action. What a witty young woman.

Some of our all-time favorite cartoons from our younger days have taught us that cats and dogs don’t get along. Their disagreements have been portrayed in funny manners that convinced us these creatures are sworn enemies.
The truth is that science says the same.
Scientists state that the innate rivalry between canines and felines has existed for millions of years, long before they were domesticated, and that is the reason why the stories of friendships between cats and dogs are our favorite.
Lane Dyer, of Edmond, Oklahoma, is a proud mom of a 6-year-old Havanese dog named Oakley, and a black cat named Binx.
Binx appeared on Dyer’s doorstep when she was still a little kitten, around two-months old.
Screenshoot
Oakley and Binx have been “polar opposites,” but they have always got along well.
Recently, Binx proved just how great of a friend she is when she stepped up for Oakley and saved her from an unexpected coyote attack.
Oakley was left out of the house to use the bathroom when she was suddenly attacked by the wild animal. Being tiny, she couldn’t defend herself and was overpowered by the coyote.
As she struggled to get away, another coyote appeared. Oakley was helpless. Luckily, Binx witness the scary attack and decided to act. She ran towards the wild animals and scared them off.
AND THE CAT SAVES THE DAY! Warning: disturbing video Two coyotes target an Edmond family’s dog, but it was the family cat that sent them packing. @kfor at 4:30/6PM by @OgleKatelyn (thread) pic.twitter.com/CJZpd3T5hf
Oakley was badly hurt, “gushing blood” from her chest. Her leg was also injured, but vets tried to save it from being amputated.
Once the ordeal was over, the family checked the security cameras and that’s when they realized it was the cat who saved her doggy friend.
Sharing the video for her social media friends and followers to see, she captioned it, “the craziest thing ever.”
Speaking to KFOR, Dyer said, “I was kind of inspired by it, quite frankly. It was inspiring to see just our little outdoor cat just jump at two coyotes that were attacking this little dog who she loves and run them off.”
Oakley needed surgery in order to recover fully, but she’s happy she’s got someone like her cat friend who’s got her back.

In an Instagram video in which she paid tribute to late Tony Bennett by preparing his favorite dish, chef Rachael Ray seemed to be struggling with her speech. Her “slurring” of the words and a portion of her face seemingly dropping concerned her fans. Comments began flooding in with a number of people speculating she has been having problems with alcoholism while others suspected she has had a stroke.
“I think it’s a mini stroke. Part of her mouth seems sinking. When was this????,” one user noted in the comments, while another stated, “She’s aging like the rest of us. Maybe she has a medical condition, maybe she is on medication. Regardless, no need to be mean.” Someone else commented, “It’s obvious something going on and I’d say alcohol based on swollen face and body.”
“One corner of her mouth is much lower than the other. The nurse in me would have her go into be checked for any side effect from a Stroke or Bells Paly. Please make sure to get checked? Life is just too short,” another fan noted.
Others wrote, “She’s drunk… I hope all is well and you just had one drink to many… Praying for you,” and “Can we stop being internet doctors?” another person wrote. “Rachael Ray put in years in this industry. If she’s going through a health issue, let’s wish her well but calling her names or making fun of her is downright terrible. What’s wrong with some of y’all?”
Ray hasn’t commented on the video that was posted in September right away. Instead, she only decided to speak up about it during the debut episode of her I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead podcast.
The 56-year-old opened up about the need to perform household chores, saying, “I’m a homemaker. I love chores. I love being in the kitchen,” adding, “I always work with my brain every day, I’m always writing something, but I really like chores.”
She added: “I like what people consider physical work,” she continued. “I like making dinner, planning dinners, making lists. I love physical labor, helping carry in the wood.”

The chef added that she’s secretly competing with her husband when it comes to chores around the house. “‘How many pieces of wood did John carry? Can I carry more? I don’t say that to John. I just say it to myself,” she said.
Ray then confessed she had experienced “a couple of bad falls” which forced her to take some break from her everyday tasks but she didn’t say what exactly.
Although she didn’t fully address the viral video, she did offer an explanation.

From eerie encounters, to unsolved mysteries, the following real-life stories get scarier with every detail they reveal.
If you are not terrified by the horror and the supernatural, we dare you to continue reading. You’d be surprised how chilling real life can get.
I woke up at 3 a.m. to get water. I heard my son’s voice from his room, saying, “Mom, can you turn off the light?” I didn’t think twice—I switched it off. As I got back into bed, it hit me… my son wasn’t home; he had gone camping. I ran to his room and froze when I saw it was empty. I was 100% sure I heard my son’s voice—or at least someone talking to me in a sleepy tone. When I told my husband, he laughed it off, saying it was probably in my head, but I swear the voice was real. That moment still creeps me out.
This just happened a week ago. In my bedroom, there’s a small hallway that leads to the master bath. I had woken up in the middle of the night and was still in that twilight zone between sleep and awake. I looked down that dark hall and clear as day was a little kid. The kid turned and looked at me and got one of those huge horror movie evil smiles on its face and then started running at me. I actually jumped out of bed and screamed. It was gone. I woke up my cat, and she looked at me like I was crazy. It took a while to go back to sleep after that. HumpieDouglas/ Reddit
My mom doesn’t like driving on the highway so when I was a teenager we’d take the back way when visiting my grandparents. There was one town we’d always pass through that gave us the creeps. It was very small, no grocery store, no gas station, just some houses, a church, and a community centre that was weirdly nowhere near the rest of the town. A lot of main roads went near it, but not through it, it was the kind of place that most people didn’t pass though. We never saw anyone on the street, occasionally you’d see a shadowy figure peeking out from a porch but that was it. There was a huge park with a nice looking playground that we never saw a single child at. If vampires were real, this is definitely where they’d live. Once me and my mom decided to drive down a side street in this town just to see what was there. We came across a car repair shop which was weird because we never saw any cars there and as soon as we approached, this guy came out. His face was not the shape of a normal human face, it was kind of lumpy. Obviously some people have facial deformities, nothing scary about that but there was something so unsettling about this guy, he stormed out and then just stopped and stared at us with the angriest look I’ve ever seen. It didn’t help that this was the only human we’d ever seen outside in a town we’d driven through dozens of times. We quickly noped out of there and never explored that side street again. ihopeyoulikeapples/ Reddit
Being born into royalty means enjoying lavishing lifestyle, owning mansions, and basically, having the world in the palm of your hand. The world’s fascination with the royal babies starts even when they are still in their mother’s womb. In the first hours of them being welcomed into the world, millions of people are eagerly waiting for their first photos to be printed in magazines. In a word, royal children are privileged from the moment they are born and their lives are closely followed by the press and the media.
The news of the birth of Prince George on July 22, 2013, who is third in line of succession after his father, Prince William, and his grandfather, Prince Charles, took the world by storm. His arrival was celebrated not only in Britain, but in every part of the world. Some two years later, the royal family welcomed Princess Charlotte, who was born on May 2, 2015. The youngest child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Louis, was born on April 23, 2018.

The children are all very special in their own way. Speaking of their passion at this period of their lives, dad William revealed, “There’s a lot of hip movements going along. There’s a lot of dressing up. Charlotte, particularly, is running around the kitchen in her dresses and ballet stuff and everything.
“She goes completely crazy with Louis following her around, trying to do the same thing. It’s a really happy moment where the children just enjoy dancing, messing around and, and singing.”
According to her mom, Princess Charlotte isn’t just crazy for dressing up, but she’s into sports, too.
“Charlotte is really into gymnastics, she’s doing cartwheels, handstands, everything,” Princess of Wales said, as per Entertainment Daily. “It’s so good for their basic skills of balance and coordination.”
“And their flexibility, it’s really good for their long-term health, isn’t it? We went to watch the Cirque du Soleil recently, it was amazing,” William added.

Prince George, who is second in the line of succession after his father, loves attending high-profile football and rugby matches and, more recently, tennis.
In July, George attended the Wimbledon men’s tennis final, which wouldn’t be what it is without a royal member in attendance.
Besides this, Prince George is said to be interested in martial arts.
“It’s not just Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte that Catherine has to take under her wing, nurture, and make sure they understand the workings of the monarchy. Prince George, one day, will become our King, yes a big responsibility already for a nine-year-old,” royal commentator and expert Neil Sean said in a video on his YouTube Channel.
“Even more so if you’re Princess Catherine because, now sadly, for her, she’s a little bit reticent about this idea. [George] apparently has taken up the idea of martial arts.”

Although he’s still very young, it looks like Prince George is well-aware he will be King of Britain one day. Just like his father, he is expected to be a full-time working royal, and his parents make sure he is well prepared for that role.
“William has not revealed to the world how and when he broke the big news to his son,” royal historian Robert Lacey wrote in his book, Battle of Brothers.
“But sometime around the boy’s seventh birthday in the summer of 2020, it is thought that his parents went into more detail about what the little prince’s life of future royal ‘service and duty’ would particularly involve.”

So far, it isn’t known whether the Prince and Princess of Wales are planning of having another child, but according to ITV News’ royal editor, Chris Ship, if they do, they are likely to face criticism by the public especially the ‘green lobby’ because William is heavily involved in campaigns on environmental issues and many believe that if people are that interested in the planet, they shouldn’t have many children, according to Ship.
“I’m sure William might open himself up to some criticism from that, sort of, green lobby if he were to have a fourth.”
Ship added that his personal belief is that William and Kate are done with three.

When Harry and Meghan made the decision to leave Britain behind, they hoped for a life out of the spotlight—at least, that’s what they presented to the public. However, things didn’t turn out that way. In fact, the couple exposed themselves to the media—the very same media they tried to escape from—to an extent that contradicted their desire to protect their privacy.
They ventured into several businesses and made contracts with huge platforms such as Spotify and Netflix. As we know, some of those deals failed, but the Sussexes found ways to support their lifestyle.
Harry published his all-tell memoir Spare, which sold in a staggering 1.4 million copies on its first day in the UK, United States, and Canada.
“We always knew this book would fly, but it is exceeding even our most bullish expectations,” Larry Finlay, managing director of Transworld Penguin Random House, said.
“As far as we know, the only books to have sold more in their first day are those starring the other Harry (Potter).”

As of late, Meghan launched her luxurious brand, American Riviera Orchard. In the promotional video, she was featured walking around the beautiful mansion and cooking.
The first product, a lemon-filled gift basket containing fresh fruit jam, was sent to the Duchess’ closest 50 friends, many of whom celebrities.
As per her PR expert Mayah Riaz, Meghan could make as much as seven figures within the first month of launching the brand.
“So far, the jams have been sent to only 50 people. This suggests that it will be an exclusive and limited edition item,” Riaz shared with the Mirror.
“It has already been reported a single jam jar could cost three figures. I believe that is entirely likely from what we have seen so far. This is not rare for a celebrity brand.”

The PR expert added, “Therefore, my estimation is that American Riveria Orchard in under a year could make Meghan seven figures. It is entirely possible for the brand to make multi-seven figures by the end of next year,” the PR guru added.
As per Harpers Bazaar,the Duchess will extend her brand on selling kitchen items and home decor.
According to the initial trademark application made in February, her company will offer “jellies, jams, marmalades, fruit preserves, edible oils and fats, and preserves, vegetable-based spreads, legume-based spreads, nut-based spreads, garlic-based spreads, sesame-based spreads, dairy-based spreads, nut butters, fruit butters.”
It’s clear that both Harry and Meghan have pursued post-royal career, or at least they are trying to.
Royal expert Tina Brown – author of best-selling royal biographies The Diana Chronicles and The Palace Papers, had a say on this and stated, “In England, they’re going to constantly make a career out of trashing Harry. But actually, the thing about Harry is he’s very good at being Prince Harry.”
Appearing on The Ankler, Brown added: “That’s the tragedy of all of this, is that he is the most talented member of the Royal Family, without doubt, in terms of being a prince, which is all he does know how to do… he’s really sort of flawless at it.”

Further, Brown, who was friends with late Princess Diana, said Meghan has never really had any good ideas.
“I think [Prince Harry] is pretty much in the thrall of Meghan. The trouble with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world. She’s flawless about getting it all wrong… She really is,” Brown said.
“She’s a perfectionist about getting it all wrong… Her issue is that she doesn’t listen… She has all these people, asks them their opinion, and then doesn’t follow it. She does what she wants to do. And all of her ideas are total crap, unfortunately.”
According to the royal expert, Harry is “blindly” following his wife.
“(Harry is) the lamb to the slaughter in this situation,” Brown concluded. “He was terribly impressed by Meghan. He thought that she knew all, she persuaded him that she was the savvy Hollywood wheeler-dealer who could come in and make them stars and all the rest of it. And he just sort of blindly followed her like a child, really.”

When Harry released Spare, it further affected his relationship with his father and brother. Despite that, rumors were that he was going to publish another book. The same was said of Meghan.
When she appeared on The Cut in 2023, Meghan mentioned that she kept a diary. Alongside this, she said she was never asked to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement when she and Harry left the monarchy.
Many saw Meghan’s words as a “threat.”
Expert Roya Nikkhah discussed Meghan’s interview, saying, “The thinly veiled threats that came in [Meghan’s interview with The Cut] …I think [she] probably hopes it does [feel threatening] to the Royal Family… [But] I think there’s a lot of eye-rolling, going, ‘We’re used to this by now’… [But] that phrase, ‘I have a lot to say until I don’t’ and, ‘I’ve never signed anything that restricts me from talking’… there was a very strong inference there.”
Further, Nikkhah added: “And, of course, the reminder that she keeps a journal, and [her] revelation that, ‘when we came back to Windsor, to Frogmore Cottage for the Jubilee, I rediscovered my journal that I’d left there’ – I was astonished to discover that she had left a highly private diary behind in Windsor, rather than taking it back.
“She’s mentioned a couple of times in the last year or two that she kept a journal, and I think there is a very strong inference that Meghan could write her own memoir,” Nikkhah concluded.

Royal expert Jennie Bond believes the same. According to her, Meghan moved on when she stepped down from her royal duties, but the journal she spoke of “will remain a potential weapon in her back pocket” if she ever seeks revenge.
“Obviously the journal she mentioned will remain a potential weapon in her back pocket if she ever feels the need to seek some sort of revenge. But she has behaved with discretion and dignity ever since Oprah and the documentary series.”
Bond continued: “I think she is looking forwards, not backwards and is moving on with her life. So I don’t think we should be raising false alarms about any potential memoir.”

Purslane, or Portulaca oleracea, is a herb native to Asia which is spread worldwide. Although many consider it just weed, it is in fact a plant that is edible and extremely nutritious.
Among the rest, this plant is rich in antioxidants, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, and beneficial plant compounds. Being full of beta-carotene, the pigment responsible for the reddish color of its stems and leaves and an antioxidant believed to reduce the number of free radicals in your body, purslane lowers the risk of cancer.
It is also helpful for supporting your cardiovascular system as it has the highest-recorded levels of omega-3 fatty acids of any land-based plant.
Among the rest, purslane is a great source of calcium and magnesium, two minerals that help keep your bones strong and healthy.
By including purslane in your diet, you can give your overall health a significant boost.
Purslane, which also goes by the names pigweed, little hogweed, fatweed and pusley, contains about 93% water and is similar in taste with spinach. It is also very crunchy and juicy. Purslane can be eaten cooked or raw and it is a fantastic addition to salads, soups, and stews.
What’s great about this plant is that it can be planted in dry, hot regions, as well as gardens of low maintenance. This means purslane practically grows without any help at all and can be even spotted on sidewalk cracks as it easily adapts to harsher conditions.
However, although it doesn’t require any special conditions or perfect soil, this plant’s impressive root system plays a vital role in improving soil health and preventing erosion. So, not only it would beautify your garden, but it would also naturally enhance the fertility and stability of your soil.
The United States Department of Agriculture refers to it as of a “noxious weed,” and in some regions its cultivation is limited or prohibited.
Besides being a perfect addition to your diet, purslane can attract beneficial insects to your garden. Bees and butterflies are just some of the pollinators that are drawn to its beautiful flowers.
It truly looks like purslane is the perfect plant that would made a valuable addition to your diet and to your garden.

At least 15 people have tragically lost their lives following a crash between a bus carrying elderly passengers and a truck in Manitoba, Canada. The incident happened near Carberry, west of Winnipeg, on the Trans-Canada Highway. According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), 10 people, including both drivers, were transported to the hospital with significant injuries.
Eyewitness John Proven described the scene as a “huge accident” with a vehicle in flames and a semi-truck nearby, its front end severely damaged. The bus was carrying seniors from Dauphin to the Sand Hills Casino in Carberry when the tragic accident took place. Emergency services, including an air ambulance and 12 other ambulances, were quickly dispatched.
Authorities are still determining why the bus entered the truck’s lane, though footage showed the truck had the right of way. RCMP Superintendent Rob Lasson emphasized that no blame has been assigned at this time, as the investigation is still ongoing.
This accident has drawn comparisons to the 2018 Humboldt Broncos bus tragedy in Saskatchewan, in which 16 people died. Manitoba officials have sought assistance from those involved in the Humboldt investigation, given the similarities in both incidents.
We are devastated to learn of the tragic news coming from Carberry, Manitoba.
William Doherty, CEO of the trucking company involved, expressed deep sorrow and offered full cooperation with the investigation. He told CTV News that “the thoughts of the entire Day & Ross team are with those who have lost loved ones in this terrible incident”. “We are holding out hope that those injured will recover.” Mr Doherty added, “We will fully cooperate with the investigation and offer any assistance and support that we can.”
Prime Minister Trudeau was among those who offered their condolences. “The news from Carberry, Manitoba is incredibly tragic. I’m sending my deepest condolences to those who lost loved ones today, and I’m keeping the injured in my thoughts. I cannot imagine the pain those affected are feeling – but Canadians are here for you.”

The accident has devastated the close-knit community of Dauphin, where many of the victims lived. Mayor David Bosiak said, “Literally everyone in town knew someone that was on that bus.”
“There’s a collective feeling of shock … it’s just a tremendous tragedy for our little community.
“It’s a kick in the teeth, a punch in the gut.”
We are so very sorry for this tragic incident and the lives lost.
