Owner Worried About Sending Dog To Day Care—Unprepared for Pics She Receives
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
A dog owner's nerves about their puppy's first day at day care quickly turned to delight, after receiving pictures that showed the canine having the time of his life—images that have since warmed the hearts of viewers on Reddit, too.
The dog's owner, who goes by u/florawater on the platform, had shared the pet's joy on July 25 with a post titled, "Carl's first day at day care …" alongside a caption that read: "I've been so worried about sending him to day care but this way he gets access to the outdoors in the countryside (we live in an apartment in the city) and gets to hang out with other dogs."
The post has since received more than 4,200 upvotes, leaving viewers both touched and delighted.
Carl, a golden-retriever puppy, was pictured beaming with joy as he explored the countryside with other dogs from the day-care group. In one image, he is caught mid-run, clearly elated, with his ears flopping and mouth open in what appears to be a wide, toothy grin. In another, he stands on a grassy trail, surrounded by fellow pups, looking content and carefree.
The post struck a chord with dog lovers on Reddit, many of whom could relate to the worry of sending a pet to day care for the first time—but also to the relief and joy of seeing them thrive in a social and stimulating environment.
The photos not only eased the owner's initial concerns but also offered viewers a glimpse of Carl's personality shining through.
"My dog is also a day care enjoyer," one viewer said. "When I pick him up, he has to say goodbye to his favorite staff members at least 3 times.
"Last week one of them had to walk to the car with us (which was about 10 steps, but he planted his big butt and wouldn't move without an escort)."
"I love seeing other pups who love day care," another added.
"It looks like Carl loves day care," a third viewer said.
"The face of someone who is having an absolute blast," one comment shared.
"I like this day care," another added.
"Carl is thriving at day care," one viewer commented. "It's great to see him enjoying it."
"This cutie is also sending me," another posted.
"That smile makes my day," a third added, referring to Carl's large grin in the pictures.
"Carl looks like an extremely happy pup, thanks for sharing," one commenter said, in much agreement.

Pregnant Woman Says In-Laws 'Greeted My Baby Bump Instead of Me' When Meeting for the First Time
"Both FIL and MIL greeted my baby bump instead of me when we arrived, and it was all downhill from there," she writes on RedditNEED TO KNOW A woman says her first meeting with her in-laws did not go as planned when the couple immediately started talking about baby names She details the meeting in a post shared to Reddit "Both FIL and MIL greeted my baby bump instead of me when we arrived, and it was all downhill from there," she writesA woman says her first interaction with her in-laws will likely be her last after the couple immediately brought up potential baby names just hours after meeting for the first time. In a post shared to Reddit, the woman writes that she met her mother- and father-in-law for the first time, shortly after she found out she was pregnant. "Both FIL and MIL greeted my baby bump instead of me when we arrived, and it was all downhill from there," she writes. The couple then "pressured us to tell them our chosen baby names (we didn't), 'suggested' we name baby after MIL" and "made sure we had no time to see any other family in the area by dictating the whole weekend." At one point, the woman's mother-in-law also "threw a bizarre temper tantrum about baby showers." "She asked if I was having one, I said no, which is true," she writes. "She seemed to accept this at the time but next morning she declared my husband had told her that we would instead be doing a collection for the baby. He said no he hadn't, I said no we weren't doing that, she lost her cool (with a lot more back and forth in between, and increasing anger on her side)." She continues: "The whole visit made me sad because while I expected the entitlement and weird need for control, I wasn't expecting them to both prove me right quite so wholeheartedly or so soon. We've agreed to no more visits pre-birth, them coming to stay here/showing up unannounced is thankfully incredibly unlikely, and I personally will be putting them both on an info diet and directing all communication through husband for now."

Others on Reddit are chalking the situation up to a "classic mother-in-law power grab." Writes one commenter: "You're not 'evil,' you're just inconvenient to their fantasy of being third parents. Let them sulk, that's their hobby. Yours is protecting your baby. You already know placating just invites more entitlement." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Husband refuses to eat chicken left in hot car for hours, sparking food safety debate: 'Not thrilled'
One man risked dinner – and domestic peace – when he refused to eat sun-warmed poultry that his wife was planning to prepare, according to a viral social media post. Writing on Reddit's 24-million-member "Am I the A--hole" forum on July 26, the man said the spat began after his wife decided to try a new recipe for dinner. "It's a one-pot chicken thing with orzo," he wrote. "She ordered the groceries online this morning and then went to collect them around 11 a.m. She got back home around midday and unloaded everything from the car." But around 5:30 p.m., his wife suddenly asked where the chicken went – and found that it had been sitting in the trunk of their car all afternoon. "The chicken wasn't a frozen chicken," the man clarified. "The chicken was a whole, fresh, raw chicken, in a sealed bag." "Although it wasn't a particularly warm day, we still had a high of [60 degrees Fahrenheit] and our car was sitting out in the sunshine all afternoon." The wife said that the chicken was still "cool to the touch," which the man hesitantly agreed with – it wasn't warm, he said, but he wouldn't call it "overly cold." "It's safe to say it was somewhere between fridge temperature and room temperature," he wrote. The Redditor quickly told his wife he wasn't interested in eating the chicken. "She tells me we're [still] going to eat the chicken," he recalled. "I go back to the couch and start Googling how long you can leave a chicken in the car." Despite going back-and-forth, the wife continued preparing the chicken – until the husband had an idea. "I pitch the idea that she can have the chicken and I can just make something simple for my dinner," he said. "She's not thrilled because she wanted to make this meal for me." The man said he told her that he was "not going to eat it" and felt as if he was "being made to eat a chicken against my will." She then got into the car and left "in search of another chicken from the store." But the man admitted that he felt "like a bit of an a--hole about it." "I also feel like we may have wasted a perfectly good chicken," he said. But most of the comments posted on the thread — which attracted over 2,000 responses — affirmed his fears. "You know what's worse than throwing out a chicken? Food poisoning," the top comment read. "I would not have eaten that chicken either." "I have a realllllllyyy loose attitude toward food safety and I wouldn't eat that chicken," another person chimed in. One user who attested to working in restaurants for two decades, however, had a different take. "I would've eaten it," the commenter wrote in part. "Still cool to the touch and getting cooked fully? It's fine." "It's not worth the risk. A single chicken is not that expensive compared to the food poisoning you could experience." Another wrote, "You're about to cook it. It's not had time to rot, especially if it's cool to the touch. Everyone in these comments is overreacting." Bryan Quoc Le, Ph.D., a food scientist with Mendocino Food Consulting in California, told Fox News Digital the risk in the Reddit situation is "very high." "It has been several hours-plus inside a car, which will be at a much higher temperature than the surrounding air," he said. "Bacteria grow very fast every 10 degrees higher than refrigeration temperature, exponentially so every 20 minutes. They are right that it is not safe to eat." Le added that, hypothetically, one could try cooking the chicken — which would destroy pathogenic bacteria. But that doesn't solve the issue, he said. "It's the toxins they leave behind that can be a problem, which tend to be heat-resistant," the expert said. "It's not worth the risk. A single chicken is not that expensive compared to the food poisoning you could experience."

Older Adults, What Old Products Do You Still Use Because They've Stood The Test Of Time?
Recently, I was looking for a new moisturizer and came across a recommendation on Reddit that suggested I "don't sleep on old lady products," alongside a glowing review of Pond's Cold Cream moisturizer. I remember my late grandmother using this stuff throughout the early 2000s, and I kind of love that it's still getting respect like the icon it is. In a world full of endless new skincare products and what feels like overnight trends, there's something comforting about a beauty product that's been around forever and still delivers. If it ain't broke, why fix it? So, if you're an older adult, I want to hear from you. What are the other old-school, maybe even slightly outdated, but still wonderfully perfect products or brands you absolutely swear by to this day? Because, let's be real, things just aren't made like they used to be. Related: Maybe you've got a blender, rice cooker, or mixer that's been chugging along for 20+ years and still works like new. Your grandkids complain their modern versions don't last, and now they're scouring eBay trying to find your model. Related: Perhaps you're personally behind Carhartt jackets making a fashion comeback, as you've had the same old Carhartt jacket for 29 years (yes, 29!) that you still wear every single weekend, bonfire, or whenever you need to do yard work. It's a little worn in, but there is no fraying or rips. You've had winter coats that don't even last a season, yet your trusty old workman's jacket has never let you down. Or maybe you've had the same Toyota RAV4 for 24 years. You've driven it cross-country from California to Michigan numerous times, clocked nearly 400,000 miles, and it still runs like a dream. Sure, you've had other vehicles, but nothing else has held up quite like this one. If you've got a product, brand, or even an appliance that's never let you down, tell us what it is and why it deserves legendary status. Drop it in the comments or submit it through this anonymous form. Some younger person out there wasting money on flashy, flimsy junk will thank you (me).
