Toddler looks like Pennywise from It after applying hair removal cream on her head

When people tell you that parenting isn’t easy, trust them. At the period of their life when they are very young and unaware of the consequences of their actions, kids should be closely watched by their parents. When they reach their teen years, things can turn even harder as children this age tend to be stubborn and act as they know everything.

All in all, moms and dads out there should always keep a close eye on their children no matter how old they are.

Maisie Saward and Eva, 18-month-old sisters, got themselves into trouble, and what Maisie did went viral in the blink of an eye. Namely, their older brother, Ollie, left the baby gate open and the sisters found themselves in the bathroom the next minute.

While on their little “adventure,” curious Maisie managed to reach her dad’s “hair gel.” Or at least she thought it was that. In fact, she covered her head with Superdrug Hair Removal Cream.

When their dad, Luke, noticed them, he rushed to give Maisie a shower. Well, he should have removed the cream from her hair instantly, but he believed at the time that giving her a bath was a better idea. Until she got in the bathtub, around 10 minuted had passed, and it was enough time for that cream to do its job, which is to remove hair.

Luke was shocked when he noticed that his little girl went bald after her long bangs fell off.

When Luke called his wife Kristy to tell her of their daughter’s “problem,” she had no idea how bad things were until she got home. “When I got home, I was just in pure shock. She came and gave me a cuddle and I just cried for an hour because I absolutely loved her fringe [bangs],” she told Metro News.

Kristy was mad at her husband, but she eventually saw the fun in the situation.

Once their story, along with Maisie’s photos, went viral, people said she achieved a hairstyle similar to that of Pennywise the Clown from the Stephen King horror story, It.

“Me and Luke felt a bit of a failure for not keeping these things out of her way, but once I’d realized these things happen when you’ve got kids, we felt a bit better about it. Parenting, especially with twins, isn’t easy, and if this makes even one other mum feel better then that’s great.”

Dhani Harrison, the son of legendary Beatle George Harrison, shares his dad’s last wish before passing

There are just a small number of people who can say they changed the world, and the members of the iconic band The Beatles, are definitely one of them. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr influenced an era. They didn’t only change the world of music, but that of fashion and lifestyle as well.

Millions of fans went crazy over the Liverpool band’s music, and soon, the Beatlemania shook the entire world.

These musicians’ legendary songs are still played on radio stations and performed by influential and famous singers.

The story behind the group starts with McCartney and Lenon. At the time they were around 17, George Harrison was just a 15 year old boy who was completely enchanted by guitars. So when John Lenon was looking for a guitarist for his band, which was known as The Quarrymen at the time, McCartney said, “I know this guy. He’s a bit young, but he’s good.”

“When I joined, he didn’t really know how to play the guitar; he had a little guitar with three strings on it that looked like a banjo,” Harrison said of Lennon, during testimony in a court case against the owner of a bootleg Beatles’ recording in 1998, according to The Guardian.

Youtube/TheBeatles

It was reported how The Beatles were practicing mainly in Harrison’s place at the time as his mother was very supportive of his music career.

During the 1960’s, Harrison had a spiritual journey and that also influenced the band’s music.

The “shy and quiet” musician was married to Patti Boyd for eight years before he tied the knot with Olivia Harrison in 1978 and the pair welcomed son Dhani.

Dhani, who is an only child, spent his childhood around his parents with whom he has been very close his whole life. He loved what his dad did and grew up at the recording studio.

“My mum said when I was a kid and someone asked me what my dad did, I said, ‘He pushes buttons,’” Dhani told the Daily Mail. “I think I’m most similar to Stella [McCartney] and Mary [McCartney]. I really relate to the way they’ve dealt with their circumstances – they’re like big sisters to me.”

Being the son of such a huge star like his dad and inheriting his looks made Dhani a celebrity himself. He was offered many jobs, including modeling and in bands, but he wanted to pursue a career that would help him succeed on his own, so he attended industrial design and physics at Brown University, and got his dream job with the McLaren design team.

However, when Dhani was in his 20’s, George Harrison was diagnosed with cancer and only had months to live. According to Dhani, his dad’s final wish was for his son and his best friend, Jeff Lynne, to finish his album. Dhani was more than happy to continue his dad’s legacy.

George Harrison passed away on November 29, 2001, and a year later, his twelfth and final studio album, Brainwashed, was released.

In 2004, great George Harrison was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2009, he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Today, Dhani is completely dedicated to music. In 2001, he and friend and filmmaker Oli Hecks formed the band Thenewno2. He’s been involved in a number of music projects and performs the songs of the legendary band his dad was part of as well as the music his father created as a solo artist.

Dhani married his longtime girlfriend Solveig Karadottir eight years ago at Friar Park, outside the Harrison estate where he grew up. His dad’s band mates Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr attended the wedding and Stella McCartney, Paul’s daughter, designed the wedding gown.

Dog feels she will never see her owner again. Her reaction is bringing millions to tears

When we make the decision of getting a dog, we often fear of experiencing the pain of losing them one day. Not having them around after years spent together is devastating, but we rarely think of the pain they feel when their owners leave this world before them.

Dogs go through the same grief and sorrow as any human would when they lose someone they love.

When her dad got seriously sick and his days were numbered, sweet dog Mollie could sense something serious was going on.

Knowing how much Mollie meant to her owner Ryan Jessen, the staff at the Rideout Memorial Hospital in Marysville, California, allowed her to see him for one last time and say that final goodbye.

The video of Mollie approaching the hospital bed and placing her head on her owner’s chest is so touching that it made millions cry. You can see it below.

Gamer solves a missing child case from across the world or some 5,000 miles away

Authorities are always doing their best to solve cases of missing people, and for the wide public to step in and give a helping hand in such cases isn’t that unusual. However, the case of four-year-old Yvette who was kidnapped by her own father got a happy ending in a very unusual way.

When the court decided the girl wasn’t safe by her father’s side and granted custody to her grandparents, Gary and Kim Forester, her dad, Virgil, fled with her.

YouTube

Gary and Kim were desperate to find their granddaughter. Police were searching everywhere but there was no sign of where Yvette could be.

That’s when the grandparents decided to contact Virgil’s Facebook friends and ask them whether they had been in contact with him since he left town.

One of them, Harry Brown, was friends with “Mark Johnson,” which was the name Virgil used. When they asked Harry how the two knew each other and whether they had spoken recently, Harry explained how they used to chat because they had a lot of thing in common based on the groups they liked.

“He had been tagged in a meme I liked so we connected on Facebook and spoke a few times about a year ago,” Harry told Fox LA. “As soon as I got this message I thought wow I need to start trying to message him again cause he thought we were good friends at that point because we’ve had a few conversations before.” 

YouTube

The grandparents then asked from him to get in touch with Virgil and try to discover his location. Harry agreed and messaged Virgil, asking what he was up to. At first, Harry tried to persuade Virgil to send him a screenshot of the weather app, but failed.

He then thought of offering his virtual friend some pizza and asked him to send him his address. Virgil agreed eventually, but instead of a delivery guy, police officers knocked on his door.

“They had two grand in reward money and they sent that over straight away and they paid for my flight here, flight back, everything,” Harry said after Yvette was back with her grandparents. He was glad he could help, and he did it from the comfort of his living room in England, some 5,000 miles away.

You can check the whole story and Harry’s interview in the video below.

3-month-old baby boy beaten to death by his monster father

What kind of a sick monster one needs to be in order to abuse their own children? The sad reality is that a number of children suffer from the hands of their parents, and many times, the social services fail in preventing the neglect and abuse from taking place.

Sylys Hernandez was only three months old when he died in 2017. The poor baby was beaten by his own dad, lunatic Isaac Hernandez from Nampa, Idaho. After the child was found dead in his crib, it was determined that he suffered horrific death. Autopsy showed that sweet Sylys had fractures on his legs and 26 fractures on his tiny ribs. His mouth was all covered in bruises.

The sight was completely shocking, but what is even sadder is that this horrific murder could be prevented. Namely, the social services got an anonymous tip about child neglect. The program manager for child and family services in the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare’s Region 3, Susan Dwello, was on that case, but after visiting the house she determined there was nothing incriminating.

 “The difficulty of (anonymous complaints) is that if the department needed to go back or seek more information or other ideas in terms of who may have further information, with an anonymous call, we’re not going to be able to do that,” she explained.

Apparently, just a couple of days prior her visit, the little boy was seen by a doctor and he was perfectly fine. It was reported how Sylys was gaining weight and nothing spoke of alleged abuse at the time.

The father, who definitely doesn’t deserve to be called that, pleaded guilty to three counts of felony injury to his child and was sentenced to 27 years in prison. He, however, wasn’t charged with murder because the exact cause of death of little Sylys wasn’t determined.

We hope this awful man will rot in hell for taking a life of an incredible boy he was supposed to love and care for.

Adopted shelter Pit Bull can’t stop cuddling with his owner

Do you believe in love at first sight? If you ask college girl and shelter volunteer Kayla Filoon, she would definitely say yes. Why? Because she fell in love with the Pit Bull named Russ the moment she laid eyes on him.

Russ was wandering the streets of Philadelphia and was terrified of humans when the shelter workers noticed him. Eventually, they managed to approach closer and take Russ with them.

Source: Inside Edition/YouTube

The moment he entered the shelter, Kayla knew there was something special about him. She even thought of adopting him, but that was easier said than done as Kayla was busy studying and she was sharing the apartment with five other people.

At the time, she thought she could at least spend some time with Russ, who started feeling comfortable around her over time, and took him for a walk. It was then that she knew Russ belonged with her.

Kayla called her mom and told her about Russ. Her mom said that this wasn’t the first time for Kayla to get attached to dogs from the shelter, but Kayla knew this time it was different, so she took Russ in without consulting her roommates. When they saw the Pit Bull, however, they all agreed he should stay with them.

The relationship between Kayla and Russ has been very special. Whenever she enters home, he rushes to give her a hug and a lick. He even keeps her company while she’s studying for her exams.

One of the photos of Russ sleeping on Kayla while she’s doing a homework was shared on Facebook by one of her friends and gathered thousands of shares and comments.

West Point pays tribute to first female 4-star-general in the history of the U.S Army

Women have become important part of the military during the last years. The number of female soldiers and generals is getting higher and higher and they have been recognized as valuable and even essential members of the army.

Retired Gen. Ann Dunwoody was serving the country for over 38 years and received a number of medals and awards for her sacrifice and tireless work.

In 2008, she became the first woman in the U.S. military to achieve a four-star officer rank. Among the rest, she received the Army Distinguished Service Medal, the Defense Superior Service Medal, and the Legion of Merit. Gen. Dunwoody, who is a role model to many women who want to follow her path, has been recognized by France with its National Order of Merit. Two years ago, she was inducted in the inaugural class of the 82nd Airborne Division Hall of Fame.

Screencap via Time/YouTube

Before she retired in 2012, Gen. Dunwoody led the Army Materiel Command, which “manages the global supply chain, synchronizing logistics and sustainment activities across the Army.” Being part of the military was a huge honor for this brave woman. In fact, she somehow always knew that serving the country was her calling and that doesn’t come as a surprise knowing that most of her family members were part of the army, including her great-grandfather, her grandfather, her father, her brother and sister, as well as her niece and husband. So, it’s safe to say that the urge to keep Americans safe runs in her family.

However, coming from a family of veterans didn’t make things easier for Gen. Dunwoody as all she achieved is thanks to her passion and commitment.

Screencap via Time/YouTube

During a 2015 interview with Army Times, she said, “…I had advocates, then there were detractors. They just don’t like you, maybe they think it’s a man’s Army and women don’t belong here. The key is how you deal with people. You don’t stoop to name-calling. You be professional, demonstrate you’re capable and sometimes you convert people. In the military, people want the best leader on the team.” She then added, “I’ve watched doors open my entire career. Some are opened for you, some you have to kick down. I believe if someone is qualified, and I mean fully qualified, they should be able to go through that door.”

On October 10, 2019, she received the The Sylvanus Thayer Award. The West Point Association of Graduates gives this award “to a citizen of the United States, other than a West Point graduate, whose outstanding character, accomplishments, and stature in the civilian community draw wholesome comparison to the qualities for which West Point strives, in keeping with its motto: ‘Duty, Honor, Country.’”

Another woman who made history and paved the path to the world of military for other females is Lt. j.g. Madeline Swegle who became the first black female tactical aircraft pilot in the US Navy.

In 2019, Maj. Gen. Maria Barrett and Brig. Gen. Paula Lodi became the Army’s first pair of sister generals.

We are glad women’s work has been recognized as they can offer as much as men can, if not more.

Below is Gen. Dunwoody video in which she speaks of her incredible career spanning almost four decades.

Retiring Arizona state trooper is fighting back tears as he makes final radio dispatch call

Great Confucius once said, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life,” and although not many of us are lucky enough to pursue a career in our dream field, there are those who complete their desire of doing what they truly love. One of those fortunate people is Mark Gilberg. This incredibly dedicated man spent 37 years and three weeks working as a trooper at the Department of Public Safety, Arizona.

After that many years, Mark was about to retire, and his last day on the job was so emotional that it touched the hearts of millions who heard him making his last radio call to his colleagues.

Mark announced, “Badge 2988 began his career March 11, 1981… this will be my final 10-7” as tears were rolling down his face. The dispatcher then said, “10-4, and you’re making me cry too, did everyone copy that?”

YouTube

The trooper went on to thank his colleagues saying, “It’s been an honor and a privilege. And a great career, it’s been a great adventure.” Neither he nor his coworkers could hide their emotions. It’s been a very special day for the whole unit. “Badge 2988, Thirty-seven years and three weeks later – it’s been a great ride, thank you very much and keep smiling” Mark said. The dispatcher responded that they all appreciated everything he’s done during his career of almost four decades.

We thank trooper Mark Gilbert for his service and wish him a happy retirement.

Nixa Police Department take on “Footloose” for lip-sync challenge

What I love about lip-sync challenges is that they bring out the creativity in people. You know, seeing someone doing that just makes you do it better, so you come up with some bright and fun ideas that would put a smile on the faces of those who’ll watch you sing and dance.

Recently, a number of police departments from all over the country have taken part in such challenge and they are all doing a great job because they remind us that no matter the importance of their job, like keeping us safe at all times, they too need to have some fun every now and them.

The latest challenge that caught our attention is that by the Nixa Police Department in Missouri. They opted for the epic song “Footloose”and made everyone want to put their dancing shoes on.

Facebook/Nixa Police Department

What is pretty awesome is that the police officers didn’t do the choreography themselves but asked from the members of the community to join in so that they could ‘kick off their Sunday shoes’ together.

These people’s dancing is so contagious.

Facebook/Nixa Police Department

“I’ve got this feeling

That time’s just holding me down

I’ll hit the ceiling

Or else I’ll tear up this town…”

Needless to say, the cool video has been shared thousands of times with that many people praising their ‘work.’

“No budget, no production company (shot and edited by our Public Information Officer who studied film production), and all officers donated their time to participate. We believe in being responsible with tax payer dollars and we made an extra effort to do so while having fun,” they wrote on Facebook.

Tampa teacher gives students incredible Easter surprise

Meet Brent Walker, an incredibly good elementary teacher. Walker is a Maths teacher at Sheehy Elementary School in Tampa, Florida. Last year, he wanted to do something different for his fifth-grade students, besides his teaching. He wanted to surprise his students for the Easter holidays.

Therefore, Walker went to the local Walmart with intention of buying plastic Easter eggs for one of his classrooms. He wanted to buy enough eggs for his 20 students. However, upon coming to the store, he saw something different. There were baskets full with chocolate, candies and toys. His plan changed. He wanted to get those instead.

Nevertheless, Walker did not have enough money to cover the expenses. Therefore, he used his Facebook page to call for sponsors. He announced that all three fifth-grade classes, in total 63 kids, could be pleasantly surprised if only sponsors donated enough money. The surprise was going to be realised very soon.

The next morning, Walker went to the school a bit earlier. He started preparing the classroom for the big surprise. His co-workers, teachers, also helped him. This surprise was going to be one of the best moments in the children’s lives since many of the students could not afford stuff like that.

Upon coming to the classroom, the kids were amazed. Their happy and smiling faces say it all. The students’ reaction is priceless.

FOX13 recorded this amazing moment. For FOX13 Walker said:

“I think it will encourage them, hopefully, to really do their best and try harder, because they know people they’ve never met before are fighting for them and are encouraging them from all over the place. I mean this was coming from all over the country.”

One of the best things I have seen recently in the classrooms. This gesture, though not too expensive, are priceless for the kids. Their reaction is just so adorable. We hope we will see more surprises like this.

Baby throws his arms up for joy every morning when parents unswaddle him

When Kaden was a little baby, his parents’ couldn’t help by notice his huge smile whenever they would unswaddle him in the morning. Throwing his arms up for joy and enjoying his worry-free life, Kaden was a delight to see.

Wanting to share his joy with the rest of the world and bring smiles on people faces, the mom and dad decided to film the cute routine and post it online. To their surprise, Kaden’s morning reaction has been seen over 4 million times.

After the sweet video of Kaden got the attention of so many people, he became a sort of celebrity. Everyone kept wondering what the happy baby and his family were up to, so mom and dad decided to keep their fans updated by posting more videos of their bundle of joy.

The one below shows Kaden learning how to drink from a bottle. “An epic battle between baby and bottle. Who will win and who will lose? Who will get stuck cleaning up?” the description asks.

Kaden also has a Facebook page dedicated to him and around 44,000 followers who enjoy his everyday antics.

One of the videos posted there shows him getting overly excited for a plate of French fries. His parents wrote how he always greets this dish with clapping and it’s so adorable to witness.

The journey of Kaden going from a little baby of just a couple of months into a toddler features many milestones captured on videos including Kaden’s first words.

Recently, the family welcomed another family member, a sweet baby girl. Kaden became a big brother and it looks like he loves his new role. Although he’s still very young himself, he’s loving and caring and people love him even more than before because of that.

Take a look at the video that made Kaden famous below. Isn’t he the cutest ever?

Britain’s sweetheart Susan Boyle gives cameras a tour of her newly remodeled house

We have witnessed how ordinary people who became celebrities in split seconds allowed the fame to affect them to the extent that they no longer resemble the individuals they once were.

That is not a case with the Britain’s sweetheart Susan Boyle, however. This incredibly talented singer has always been very modest, and being dubbed one of the best female vocals ever hasn’t changed that at all.

Source: NorCalKay/YouTube

Today, after her worldwide fame and her huge success in the music industry, Boyle is still living in her house in the small Scottish town where she has lived her entire life. Her typical British house is now renovated and got a completely different look on the inside.

Boyle was happy to open the doors to her home for the cameras, so people got to know her even better now.

When you enter the place, you can notice the great number of items and ornaments that highlight her faith in Christianity. She also has plenty of photos that witness of her experiences such as that of meeting the pope.

The first room is the piano room. After she became a celebrity, Boyle expressed a wish to learn how to play the piano, so this room has a huge piano and plenty of Boyle’s photos, many of which seem to be drawings her fans made.

The kitchen has a spacious counter and looks very modern so Boyle is happy to show it.

We can’t help but notice the singer’s new looks. She looks awesome after she turned to a healthier lifestyle.

The walls in the living room are covered in blue and white stripe wallpapers and the room looks modern and cozy at the same time. Beautiful paintings as well as photos of Boyle’s youth can be seen around.

A huge grandfather clock adorns the top of the stairs where the dressing room is. In a couple of places in the room there is the word “dream” written on, which stands for the singer’s motto, “Follow your dreams.”

Source: NorCalKay/YouTube

That Boyle is one of our favorite singers speaks the fact that more than 800,000 people have seen the video so far. It means they want to see the unique insight of her life that she offered. She’s still very modest and down to Earth. One person wrote, “She could have bought a movie star mansion but she chose to remodel her previous home. It’s tasteful and not ostentatious at all. More respect to her.”

Take a look at Boyle’s home, do you like it?

79-year-old man who was punched in an unprovoked attack has died

No matter how sad it sounds, we have to agree that this world has gone completely mad. The pandemic is still preventing us to get back to the old way of living and is affecting everyone, especially the elderly people who are way too fragile to fight against the virus. And if that isn’t bad enough, there are still people out there who treat this category of citizens in a very unacceptable manner.

79-year-old Angel Diaz was walking outside his building at Hoyt Street in Downtown Brooklyn when a young man approached him and started hitting him out of the blue. The video footage clearly shows that the gruesome attack was unprovoked. After Diaz lost his cane, he fell on the ground, but the attacker didn’t stop there and continued hitting and punching the helpless man.

The footage then shows the attacked fleeing the scene on foot. Diaz was spotted by passersby and taken to the nearest hospital. His condition seemed stable, but unfortunately, he passed away on October 29.

The incident took place on September 13, around 9 p.m.

The exact reason of Diaz’s death is yet to be examined and police are urging the public to come forward with information that would lead to identification as well as arrest of the attacker.

You cann call the Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or visiti www.nypdcrimestoppers.com in case you feel you can help track down the wrongdoer.

Rest in peace Mr. Diaz, our prayers go with the family.

Boy, 8, spends entire life imprisoned in a filthy room covered in urine and feces with no electricity

Looks can be deceiving, they say, and in the case of the Davis family this turned to be very true.

Daniel Andrew Davis, 37, and his wife Kelley Lynne, 36, have always been considered a normal couple. They had five daughters together and lived an ordinary life. Well, at least that is what their neighbors thought.

To everyone’s surprise, the Davis family also had a son, an eight-year-old boy who never saw the sunlight and spent his whole life locked in a tiny room with no electricity. The only thing in that filthy room covered in urine and feces were a blanket and a mattress.

The story of the severe neglect and abuse came to light after the boy set the blanket on fire and authorities visited the house to inspect the matter. When they discovered the dark and dirty room, they were shocked.

It was later reported by Fox 13, that none of the girls was ever treated in the manner the family’s son was.

None of the neighbors has ever seen the boy. They said that they had no idea he was living in the house. The girls, on the other hand, were always let to play outside. When the parents were arrested, the father “freely admitted, without hesitation, that the dogs in the household had more freedom and better living conditions than the victim,” according to detectives.

Before the fire incident, there were 911 calls made from the house, but no one suspected abuse was taking place there. One of the neighbors, Charles Clutter, told Tampa Bay Times, “They seemed normal. You truly don’t know who your neighbors are.”

The evil and sadistic parents were released on $10,000 bonds on October 5.

Nursing home organizes romantic dinner for an elderly couple who missed their 66-year anniversary because of the pandemic

I believe that the kind of love couples had for one another in the past was somehow deeper and purer than what we have nowadays. The true family values were something people lived by and they had greater respect for one another.

Take a look at Derek and Phyllis Mapes from Norwich, England. These two are both 90 years old and have been married for 66 years. They have always celebrated their anniversary together, except for this year.

World News Era

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the two were forced to spend eight months separated.

Phyllis was admitted to the hospital as she didn’t feel fine and was transferred to a nursing home right after that. Because of the social distancing, her family wasn’t allowed to visit her there. In fact, they could only see her when the nursing home organized socially distanced meetings, but that wasn’t enough for her family, especially her husband, who missed her dearly.

World News Era

Then, some time later, Derek was also taken to a nursing home, a different one than that where the love of his life was. The two felt like the gap between them grew bigger, but then, Derek was transferred to Phyllis’ nursing home, Laurel Lodge Care Home.

World News Era

The staff there were aware that being together with someone for over six decades must have been special, so they organized a romantic dinner for the elderly couple. This was supposed to make up for the anniversary they missed in February.

The place was decorated with a huge number of rose petals and live music was playing. Derek and Phyllis were all dressed up and had an amazing night.

“It’s brilliant, it’s good to be back together. You realize what’s been missing. The fact I had been a little bit lonely in a bungalow, I was in there on my own,” a teary Derek told Metro News.

BBC News

Danielle Bullent, the nursing home manager, said,  “It felt as if we were not at Laurel Lodge but in this posh restaurant. It was all about them, they had no clue. They’ve been apart for so long.”

The Mapes have three children, seven grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren. We are so happy this loving couple is finally together again and we wish them more happy years together.

A tiny Pit Bull pup with a broken jaw gets a second chance thanks to the amazing vets

Some people are simply born to do what they do. Let’s be honest, it takes some very special personality to be a veterinarian and work with animals, don’t you agree?

Dr. Karri is a vet who is always there for any animal in need of help. She, along with her colleagues at the Vet Ranch and her husband, Dr. Judd, are working around the clock to make sure as many animals gets the right amount of love, affection, and dedication.

Recently, Dr. Karri treated a baby Pit Bull who was brought at the clinic with a broken jaw. The poor animal got hurt by her own mother. As Dr. Karri explains in the video below, the mother has been aggressive about her food, so when the little pup approached her food bawl, she attacked her. Of, course, they believe she didn’t mean to break her puppy’s jaw but was lead by her natural reflexes.

YouTube

The pup needed a surgery and doctors feared whether she would be able to get enough nutrition. After the surgery, however, the sweet animal started feeling better and better. Her path to a normal life is documented in the video below, and it’s amazing to witness.

Bigfoot’s inspirational messages provide comfort for many amid the coronavirus pandemic

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, which affected the way we live, staying positive and optimistic seems like the only reasonable thing if we don’t want to crush mentally. Many people lost their jobs and are struggling to make ends meet as a number of businesses closed, and if we want this craziness to come to an end as soon as possible we have to respect the measures of protection of deadly COVID-19.

The members of the community at Brimfield, a town in Massachusetts, are reminded of the precautions against the virus in a quite odd but lovely manner.

Facebook

As it turns out, there is a huge statue of Bigfoot in front of the house of a man named Todd Disotell. What is interesting about the statue is that there are different messages about the fight against the coronavirus. Some of them say, “Be the missing link. Stay home,” “Avoid the Covid bug. Cover your mug,” “Safe distance = six (big) feet,” and “If I can avoid people, so can you.” Creative, isn’t it?

The champion in “hide and seek” also has some valuable advice when it comes to the importance of keeping the hygiene habit at the highest level.

“Stomp out Corona, one Bigfoot at a time,” “Sasqwash your hands for at least 20 seconds,” “Squatch your desire for a haircut,” and “The best is Yeti come.”

Facebook

Sadly, once the statue of the mythical creature gained popularity among the residents, it was stolen. Disotell offered $2,400 for having Bigfoot back, and luckily, just a few days later, the thieves were reported to have abandoned the statue at the yard of a family house.

Speaking of just how important this Bigfoot statue turned out to be during these tough times for the humanity, Sarah Prager, a mother of a 7-month-old baby who drives around Brimfield when her daughter has a hard time sleeping, says, “The amount I missed Sasquatch surprised me, and I realized how much this creature had become my cheerleader to avoid humans like he does. It takes a lot of willpower to stay away from your friends when you desperately want to see them, and Bigfoot’s messages had made me feel like I was accountable to someone who was directly asking me to keep my distance. The signs were written by a neighbor for other neighbors: We were all in this together.”

The messages Bigfoot sends highlight the importance of the measures and spread positivity and comfort at the same time.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s daughter Isabella shares a rare photo of herself

When Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman tied the knot, they instantly became on the most loved Hollywood couples. Fans loved seeing them together as they looked adorable by each other’s side. But as most other celebrity couples, they split and took different paths. Rumors were that the Church of Scientology, Cruise is a devoted member of, wasn’t a fan of Kidman.

Before they untied the knot, they adopted two children, daughter Isabella Jane son Connor Antony. Magazines have been reporting how the kids have a closer relationship with their dad, but both Kidman and her adopted children said it wasn’t really true because they are on good terms and always have been.

What is interesting about Isabella and Connor is that despite having A-list celebrity parents, they have always tend to live a quiet life out of the public eye.

In an interview with the Australian Who Magazine, Kidman spoke of her kids and their decision to become members of the Church of Scientology themselves, which deemed her an SP, or Suppressive Person, and said, “They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it’s my job to love them,” she explained.

“And I am an example of that tolerance and that’s what I believe — that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love and I’m open here.”

Isabella, 27, is married to husband Max Parker and lives in London where she works as an artist. She tends to share photos of her artwork, but rarely posts photos of herself.

Just recently, however, she treated her 18.000 followers with a selfie and wrote, “All that glitters is gold…oh wait, it’s just another Instagram filter.”

Some three months ago, she also posted a photo of herself posing in the kitchen with the hand on her head accompanied with the caption, “The procrastination station.”

Connor also tends to keep a low profile. Recently, he and dad Tom were spotted together. He rarely shares photos of himself, but from what he has on his Instagram account, we can see he’s a fan of fishing.

The secrets behind the popular show “The Beverly Hillbillies”

If you were a fan of the Clampett family, who turned multi-millionaires over night after finding a huge oil resource in their land, and if you were eagerly waiting for each episode and each of their adventure, then stay with us and read about some of the “secrets” of the best show ever, The Beverly Hillbillies.

The show ran from September 26, 1962 until March 23, 1971 and made millions laugh. It truly was one-of-a-kind and fans were left wondering why it was cancelled when it never lost its popularity, not until today, almost 50 years after the last episode aired.

1. CBS forgot to renew the copyright

If you ever wondered why the first 55 episodes of the show can be watched pretty much everywhere, including low-budget channels, that’s because CBS forgot to renew the copyright for those episodes once the show was cancelled.

2. Buddy Ebsen and Nancy Kulp weren’t fond of one another

Those who were present on the set of The Beverly Hillbillies, confirmed many times how Buddy Ebsen, who portrayed the role of Jed Clampett, and Nancy Kulp, who played Miss Jane Hathaway, would often argue while filming.

Their fights and disagreements were mainly a result of their different political views.

Years after the show ended, Nancy ran for Congress at the age of 62, and many believe she lost the election because her former colleague slammed her publicly and criticized her for her views.

3. Max Baer Jr. played his twin sister

The skillful son of Jed’s cousin, Pearl, wit-dimmed Jethro Bodine was portrayed by actor Max Baer Jr. However, Max also played the role of his onscreen twin sister Jethrine in 11 episodes. And although he excelled the role, Jethrine’s voice was done by the daughter to the series’ creator, Linda Kaye Henning.

4. The series creator regretted doing a movie after the show was over

Some ten years after the popular show was over, creator Paul Henning did the movie The Return of the Beverly Hillbillies? To his surprise, his project got very bad critics and reviews as many fans believed it was far from what the series depicted, with some saying the movie lacked the original spirit of the series.

5. The original name and set of the series differed from how we know them today

The initial plan was for the Clampett family to move to one of New York’s fancy neighborhoods, but due to financial reasons, they started their new life in Beverly Hills. The original title of the series was The Hillbillies of Beverly Hills, and it was changed to The Beverly Hillbillies just after the first episode aired.

6. Max Baer Jr. sued CBS

Baer accused CBS in 2014 that they were using his character’s name without his knowledge and made a secret deal with Jethro’s BBQ. That apparently prevented him from making money on his role. Eventually, Baer and the network came to an agreement.

7. John Wayne was paid in bourbon

Actor John Wayne was part of the episode The Indians Are Coming from season five of the show and allegedly was paid in bourbon instead of money.

8. Sonny Drysdale was just eight years younger than his onscreen mother

Sonny played the role of the spoiled rich step-son of Milburn Drysdale. His onscreen mother, Mrs. Drysdale, was only eight years older than him. Well, no one could notice this fact and it’s not really unusual for actors to play someone who is way younger or older than they really are in real life.

9. Sharon Tate

The murder of pregnant Sharon Tate shook the world. The beauty, who was married to Roman Polanski at the time of her death, was killed by the members of the Charles Manson “Family” while she and friends were having dinner in her home.

Tate appeared in 15 episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies. On the show, she wore a brunette wig which made it hard for people to recognize it was her.

10. The reason why the show was cancelled

Although it still had high ratings and people anticipated each new adventure of the Clampett family and their relatives and friends, CBS axed the show. It was reported how they were making a change and were focusing on more cultured, metropolitan audience.

Fans, as well as the cast, were shocked by the decision. Actor Pat Buttram of Green Acres said, “CBS canceled everything with a tree — including Lassie.”

I loved this show so very much. I guess it was somehow pure and its only goal was to make the audience happy.

Sean Connery’s widow Micheline confirms he was struggling with dementia

From working as a milkman, a lorry driver and a coffin polisher in his young days, to being knighted in 2000, the first ever secret agent James Bond had an incredible life. Born to parents who were poor, he left school at the age of 13 to be able to work and help his family make ends meet.

Sean Connery, one of the most charming men on the planet, who was named the sexiest man alive twice by the People magazine, passed away at 90. He always won each battle on the screen, but lost the most important one just a few days ago when he left the world mourning him.

Sean, the 007 agent who played in seven Bond films and won an Academy Award for The Untouchables, once said that his favorite movie was From Russia with Love.

After playing James Bond, Sean maintained a very successful career and landed roles in a number of famous movies like  Alfred Hitchcock’s Marnie , The Hill, Murder on the Orient Express, The Man Who Would Be King, Highlander, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Hunt for Red October, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and a lot more.

Sean was married two times. In 1962, the actor married Diane Cilento with whom he had son Jason Connery, his only biological child. In 1975, he tied the knot with Micheline Roquebrune and stayed together with her until the rest of his life. Their relationship and marriage withstood time despite Sean’s well-documented love affair with Lynsey de Paul during the late ’80s.

Wife Micheline told Mail on Sunday that her husband was suffering from dementia and added how the condition affected his life.

“It was no life for him,” she said. “He was not able to express himself latterly. At least he died in his sleep and it was just so peaceful. I was with him all the time and he just slipped away. It was what he wanted,” she continued. “He had dementia and it took its toll on him. He got his final wish to slip away without any fuss.” 

Rest in peace Sir Sean Connery, you were a legend!

Dad “wastes” hours building a cat flap for his cat

The moment the divine felines enter our life, they take all the control, and the sad reality is that we as humans can’t do anything about it. It looks as the mighty cats know how they were worshiped for centuries, and it’s still in their DNA to act like Gods who need to be well fed and taken good care of whenever THEY want it. 

They do know how to express their affection towards someone, but only choose to love certain people, so if you ever get approached by a cat it means you are a very special person, and yes, you should be very grateful  for that. 

Many times, no matter how hard you try, it’s simply impossible to make your cat happy. I am sure cat owner will agree on this one. You went shopping and got overly excited for that new cat toy, envisioning how your cute furry pal would be over the moon once they try it, and then you realize how the toy box is what they really want to play with. 

Cats are picky, and even if that leaves owners frustrated they will always opt for what they enjoy and not what humans want.

Philo is just another smarty pants cat who has an unusual quirk. His owner Brian was overly excited for the present he got for his fur baby. A cat door that would make it easier for Philo to go in and out of the house, which is something he really loves doing. Apparently, installing that cat flap wasn’t the best idea this owner could have come up with. 

Now when everything was properly installed, Brian took his camera and couldn’t wait to see the joy in Philo’s eyes after he sees and hopefully uses the tiny door. As the cat approached the door, Brian encouraged him to get inside through the new opening, and as you may assume, Philo didn’t even notice what his owner did for him. He could have at least got curious and sniff the opening, but no, no reaction at all. 

What he did instead is sort of amazing. He got on his hind legs and pulled down the door handle with his tiny paws. The door opened and he casually entered the place leaving his owner in disbelief. 

Well, Brian, you could have thought better than this. Why would an intelligent cat as Philo even need a special door when he can just open the big one like a boss.

This is so funny, you have to see it for yourself. 

“He’s not a monster”: Parents of cold-blooded murderer Chris Watts who killed his pregnant wife and two daughters defend him

After the horrendous murder of the mother of two who was pregnant with her third child, Shanann, and her girls, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3, by their husband and father, the cold-blooded murderer’s parents still stay by his side and say he’s not a monster.

Details of the tragic killing of the family was depicted by the new Netflix series, American Murder: The Family Next Door. The father of the killer Chris Watts said his son didn’t ask to see the documentary. “…He has not been able to watch it [the documentary], he was never told about it or asked about it.”

Chris, who asked from the public to help him find his wife and daughters whom he previously killed, confessed to the crime and even told investigators how his older daughter begged him not to do to her what he did to her sister.

Chris’ parents couldn’t believe he was capable of murdering anyone, let alone his own family.

His father, Ronnie, said of his son who’s serving life behind bars at a maximum security prison, “He’s taking it one day at a time, just like we are. We still love our son no matter what and we miss our grandbabies. We’re trying to move forward but it’s a very hard task.”

According to The Sun, when Chris pleaded guilty in the courtroom, his mother Cindy said, “I have always loved you and I still do. We love you and forgive you, son;” while Ronnie added, “Chris, I forgive you and your sister forgives you and we will never abandon you.”

To the surprise of the wide public, the killer’s parents even tried to portray their late daughter-in-law as the one responsible for their son’s action of killing her. They claimed Shannan was hard to deal with and Chris was just a normal and easy-going guy before he married her.

“He’s not a sociopath. He’s not a psychopath,” Cindy told Denver7 as she tried to defend her son.

After hearing Cindy suggesting that it was more likely that Shannan killed her girls, Shannan’s family put out a statement, according to Denver 7, writing, “Shanann Watts was a faithful wife, and the most gentle and loving mother in the world to her children Bella, Celeste, and Nico… Everyone who knew Shanann knows this to be true. Even Chris Watts knows this to be true. Yet Chris Watts still chose to murder Shanann, Bella, Celeste, and Nico. Chris Watts still chose to dump the bodies of his own family in oil tanks. And Chris Watts still chose to lie about it until he could lie no more. He pled (sic) guilty to murdering his family because he is guilty.”

“…Their false statements, however hurtful and inaccurate, will never alter the truth about Shanann, and will never alter the truth about the crimes committed by their son, Chris Watts,” Shannan’s family’s statement added.

We are very sorry for the loss of this loving mother, her beautiful girls, and her unborn son Nico, may you all rest in peace.
