A guy sees a sign in front of a house: “Talking Dog for Sale.”
He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a black mutt just sitting there.
“You talk?” he asks.
“Sure do” the dog replies.
“So, what’s your story?”
The dog looks up and says, “Well, I discovered my gift of talking pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running.
The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn’t getting any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals.
Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I’m just retired.”
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner how much he wants for the dog.
The owner says, “Ten dollars.”
The guy says, “This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?”
“Cause he’s a liar. He didn’t do any of that stuff!”
SHARE if it made you LAUGH.
Dealing with a terminal illness can completely change person’s life. If they used to make plans about their future, now, although the hope is still there, thinking about death is inevitable. As soon as they receive the bad news from the doctor, these patients are forced to confront their own mortality. It’s a difficult thing to grapple with, and only the most exceptional people can do so with reason and humility like Moscow, Idaho’s Sonia Todd.
Diagnosed with a terminal form of cancer, Sonia knew her death was imminent, so she did something unusual: she wrote her own obituary. However, the humor and poise with which she did so is truly inspirational…
Sonia Todd of Moscow, Idaho, died at age 38 from a terminal form of cancer. Before she passed away, Sonia wrote her own obituary, and the humor and dignity with which she confronts her own passing is incredible.
“I don’t like the timeline format because, let’s face it, I never really accomplished anything of note. Other than giving birth to my two wonderful, lovable, witty and amazing sons (James and Jason), marrying my gracious, understanding and precious husband (Brian), and accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal savior – I have done very little. None of which requires obit space that I have to shell out money for.”
“I also didn’t want a bunch of my friends sitting around writing a glowing report of me, which we all know would be filled with fish tales, half-truths, impossible scenarios, and out-right honest-to-goodness-lies. I just don’t like to put people in that kind of situation.”
“The truth, or my version of it, is this: I just tried to do the best I could. Sometimes I succeeded, most of the time I failed, but I tried. For all of my crazy comments, jokes, and complaints, I really did love people. The only thing that separates me from anyone else is the type of sin each of us participated in. I didn’t always do the right thing or say the right thing and when you come to the end of your life those are the things you really regret, the small simple things that hurt other people.”
“My life was not perfect and I encountered many, many bumps in the road. I would totally scrap the years of my life from age 16 to 20 – OK, maybe 14 to 22. I think that would eradicate most of my fashion disasters and hair missteps from the 80s. But mostly, I enjoyed life. Some parts of it were harder than others, but I learned something from every bad situation and I couldn’t do any more than that.”
“Besides there are some benefits to dying youngish, for example, I still owe on my student loans and the joke’s on them [because] I’m not paying them. Plus, I am no longer afraid of serial killers, telemarketers, or the IRS. I don’t have to worry about wrinkles or the ozone layer and/or hide from the news during election season.”
“Some folks told me that writing my own obituary was morbid, but I think it is great because I get a chance to say thank you to all the people who helped me along the way. Those who loved me, assisted me, cared for me, laughed with me and taught me things so that I could have a wonderful, happy life. I was blessed beyond measure by knowing all of you. That is what made my life worthwhile.”
“If you think of me, and would like to do something in honor of my memory do this:
“Write a letter to someone and tell them how they have had a positive effect on your life.”
“If you smoke- quit”
“If you drink and drive – stop.”
“Turn off the electronics and take a kid out for ice cream and talk to them about their hopes and dreams.”
“Forgive someone who doesn’t deserve it.”
“Stop at all lemonade stands run by kids and brag about their product.”
The self-written obituary concluded: “Make someone smile today if it is in your power to do so.”
Wow…that’s both incredibly sad and comforting at the same time. Hopefully, we can all take a page out of Sonia’s book and address death with honesty and humor.

Homelessness is an issue that concerns not only the developing countries, but also the leading countries like the USA. The reasons people become homeless are different, some of which include domestic violence, unemployment, and poverty. But, no matter the reason, these people share same destiny, which isn’t always bright.
Nick Myers was a homeless person living on the streets of California alone with nothing. He used to stand alone on the highway asking for some cash. Mick was never married and he never had children. His adopted mother was the only person who showed him love. He felt ignored by the world around him but he has one thing that makes him forget about this which his passion for music, he used to play outside the train station for whatever money he can take.
Deputy Jacob Swalwell of the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department knew about Mick. He gave them several warnings when he saw him begging for money, since it’s illegal. But one day, he decided to go further and handle matters a little bit different. Jacob realized that giving the homeless guy a citation wouldn’t help make his situation better, so he decided to get closer to him and know more about his circumstances.
So, Mick is 67-year-old and he has no social security, no identification cards and he doesn’t know anyone who can help him. Jacob was sad to know that Mick is a lonely old person with no one to turn to. That’s when he became determined to help Mick gets his life on track. After that moment, everything started to change for Mick and all thanks to Jacob, who took notice of him and gave him help. Mick got his necessary ID and Jacob was able to get him on Medicaid and receive social security benefits. However, there something more important than all of this, reuniting Mick with his birth family because he doesn’t deserve to live the rest of his life alone. A private investigator was on his case. And 250 miles away, after six decades, Mick’s true identity began to emerge.

It’s amazing how some couples, or ex couples, can overcome their issues for the sake of their kids. No matter if they get divorced, putting kids’ interest and needs before their own is what makes them excellent parents who do parenting the right way.
Divorced mother Laura Dee was ready to put the stress of daily life behind her and jet off on vacation to Cyprus with her two kids, Darcie, 11, and Callum, 9. Their bags were packed, the tickets bought, and the trio headed off to the airport with dreams of sandy shores in their heads. Unbenknownst to Darcie and Callum, a fourth guest was accompanying them on their trip – and it was someone who would bring them both to tears immediately. Thankfully, Laura decided to record her big reveal and share it online for the world to see.
YouTube
Laura, Darcie, and Callum waded through the crowded airport walkways in search of their gate. Then, out of the many faces, a familiar one appeared! It was her children’s father, her ex-husband. Even though they separated eight years ago, they worked together to make a fun family vacation possible. Laura told Newsflare, “As parents seeing our children upset is hard, all we want is to make our children happy. Co-parenting is hard for many people, but we are proud of what we have achieved with bringing our children up.”
YouTube
Instead of bickering, putting the kids in the middle, or whatever mental and emotional games divorcees play with their former spouses, Laura and her ex-husband did what was best for the children. Now they’ll be able to make their kids feel whole and create life-long memories with them at the same time. Watch Callum and Darcie’s heartwarming reaction to their father’s surprise appearance in the video below. This clip is the perfect example of how beautiful co-parenting can be – and how much of a positive effect it can have on the children!
When Capri, a talented young girl, started singing Elvis Presley’s song, it was an amazing start to even more amazing mashup. Her brother Kenny joined and sang along with her. Kenny created the blend of the songs using his music and sound equipment. The duo put a lot of creativity in their performance and stunned everyone who listened to the impressive and catchy mashup.
Capri used to have a soft-sweet voice whereas piano skills of Kenny are also incredible. The made a perfect conversion from one song to the other. Kenny joined with Capri by singing “But I can’t help falling in love with you”, as Capri sang “Wise men say only fools rush in”. Thus by hearing their song, it is clear that music truly can’t be bounded in any limits.
It’s surely very risky to recreate the Elvis classic but their effort in the attempt is just speechless. As you hear them singing it is hard to distinguish where the two change from one song to the other. The song got even better when you just think that it can’t get much beautiful. The brother-sister duet is just simply talented and love for music can be seen through the way they sang the two classic songs. It’s just marvelous to watch the duet sang an unforgettable mashup.
Vacation is great and all, but have you ever ate hotel breakfast while watching over some humpback whales?
In Canada at the Great Bear Lodge, lucky guests got to witness this special breakfast show.
As they sat at the lakeside for breakfasts, bubbling water next to them shocked the guests.
But what were they doing there in the first place? A whale studier (cetologist) explains they were using an eating strategy.
“They’ve chased a school of fish into that cove. They get it nice and concentrated, then blow bubbles around the school, like a makeshift net. Then several humpbacks dive below and surge to the surface all at once, mouths open, eating gigantic amounts of fish. It’s a typical hunting technique that humpbacks use.”
Either way, these beautiful giants had the guests ecstatic. Two even high-fived each other after seeing it. To be honest, I probably would do the same.
The whole thing was pretty amazing, check it out for yourself in this video!

Most people learn that grandparents aren’t people to mess with from an early age. It’s the same ending every time. One grandma you definitely shouldn’t mess with is this 77-year-old on from Wirral, UK.
One day, Winifred went to the ATM to withdraw money.
Standing there, she noticed a person walking up to behind her. Before she could react, the two men pulled her off balance while another man showed up. He reached over and tried to withdraw 200 euros.
If Winifred could not act quickly, they would drain all the money from her account. When he reached to withdraw the cash, she came up with her plan.
Grabbing his collar, she slammed the man’s head into the machine. She knocked his head three times before scaring off the robbers.
After she placed a call, the cops arrested the robbers later in the day.
According to the prosecutor, the robbers drove to the village to find easy targets.
“They did not care about how this would affect me,” Winifred said, “I would definitely say this has changed my life, I will never have the confidence I once did.”
Good job Winifred! Hopefully, they learned their lesson!
