Some of you know Cookie an outdoor catto we thought had a home. We've learned he does not. Today we're getting him inside.Traps are set.Then the 3-3-3 begins. 3 days to destress. 3 wks to feel safe. 3 mths to adapt to indoor life. Vet care of course. Fingers crossed. 🩷😸

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game

www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

"At the end of the day, it's bigger than me. The things that are going through makes people uncomfortable, imagine how (Palestinians) feel?" he said. "That's the biggest thing. I have no affiliation, no connection, to these people - other than the fact that I am a human being. If you have a heart and you're a human being, and you see what's going on in this world, you check yourself real quick.
"I'm sitting here crying about football when there's people dying every single day."
Al-Shaair is the Texans' 2025 Walter Payton
Man of the Year nominee.

BREAKING: This dog is named Susan From Accounting

A very cute but forlorn looking brown and white puppy with big eyes and floppy ears, sitting on a forest themed blanket. Facebook post message: “Central PA Humane Society: Susan from Accounting is a 4 month old female.
We were told she is a Beagle/Australian shepherd mix”
