a 'feel good' story & some funnies

After losing my childhood dog,

I visited a shelter hoping to find a new companion. The day before, I had fallen in love with a golden retriever puppy, but when I returned with my mom to adopt him, I was heartbroken to learn he had already found a home. Disappointed, I wanted to leave, but my mom urged me to look at other dogs.

She pointed out one that, to be honest, I thought looked scruffy and unappealing. Still, she insisted we take him for a walk. I grumbled the whole time like any reluctant teenager would. When we brought him into the adoption room, he immediately started whining and had an accident on the floor.

At that moment, I thought, "Great, now I can't just leave him here. He looks so pitiful."

The next day, I took him home and gave him a proper bath. As I washed away the dirt, I realized how wrong I had been—he was a gorgeous dog, inside and out. He quickly came out of his shell, revealing a loving, playful, and incredibly sweet personality. Watson turned out to be the best dog I could have ever asked for. He’s affectionate, intelligent, and, most of all, a devoted cuddle buddy.

I walked into the shelter expecting to adopt a puppy but ended up with an adult dog who became my best friend. Watson taught me a valuable lesson: older dogs are just as wonderful—if not better—than puppies. And I’ve been grateful to both my mom and Watson ever since.

Why can't Europe and the UK catch up with anything in the USA?

Lol you are funny . It is amazing how some Americans are so blind to reality. When will the USA catch up with UK banking systems ? In 2018 I had shop owners in New York threaten to phone the police thinking I was trying to scam them becsuse I went to pay by using my watch or phone. They'd never heard of this technology that was in everyday use in the UK. America has decades old fashioned kitchen appliances compared to Europe. Vacuum cleaners and all appliances are - compared to Europe - from the 50's and 60's - very old fashioned.

America is the country that is backwards compared to Europe and it amuses when Americans really do think they rule supreme when they are way way way down the list globally in so many things.

One being health care... way down the list behind Cuba, Spain and the UK.
