Golden Retriever Uses Creative Options For Pillows and It's a Riot
Our dogs do the funniest things at times. Canines can take something simple like wanting to fluff a blanket and turn it into an archeological dig and it's hilarious. Our fur babies obviously don't have easy access to items like we do and sometimes have to get creative when they need something.
Zebby the Golden Retriever is a perfect example of the proverb, "Necessity is the mother of invention." The canine cutie clearly enjoys laying his head down when he rests and opted for some interesting pillow substitutes. Some choices didn't look too comfortable.
The TikTok from @zebbythegolden explained the video's purpose as "Rating things my Golden Retriever has used as a pillow".
First up was the bathroom floor, where Zebby as a puppy was completely crashed out, flat-bodied, on the cold tile. While it looked a little bare, the pooch was adorable.
Score: 12/10. Comment: Cutest ever.
Next up was... the wall. With that choice came very interesting positioning on Zebby's part. He was lying down on the floor, tilted his head back and rested his full chin and neck along the wall. That had to be a tough stretch.
Score: 2/10. Comment: Looks very uncomfy.
The third pillow for the pup was Zebby's fluffy snuggle puppy stuffed animal. This definitely looked more cozy than the wall.
Score: 10/10. Comment: Adorable.
Then Zebby was awkwardly propped up against a table leg, yet his face seemed to be without support. This "pillow" was labeled "Air".
Score: 1/10. Comment: His face says it all.The video concluded with Zebby asleep near a (non-lit) fireplace. The side of his head was scrunched up against a large black speaker. It didn't look very restful but the Golden made it work. The TikTok poster gave the pup props for creativity.
Score: 5/10. Comment: Innovative but a little hard.
Zebby is obviously very resourceful and will use what's at his disposal to get the rest he needs. The precious pooch accepted whatever items were around and utilized them as a makeshift pillow.
Golden Retrievers are known for their warmth and intelligence, yet inventive needs to be added to the list!

As the Coldplay kiss-cam couple fades into the bushes, here's what the internet hath wrought
After the Coldplay kiss-cam kerfuffle, Chris Martin is back to his years-old tricks while the new Astronomer chief exec thinks the company is now a household name — but is it, really? As the story of the Coldplay kiss-cam couple ducks out of camera range and into history, and we ride that dead horse into the sunset, let us take a moment to examine what the internet hath wrought. First off, singer Chris Martin may have added a new riff to his concert script, post-kerfuffle, warning people at Saturday's Coldplay show in Wisconsin about the kiss-cam to come. Or has he? Folks on Reddit who seem to know many things say no, he definitely has not. The 'fan cam' — turns out it's not a kiss-cam at all, go figure — is a gimmick the band has been using for quite a while. Martin picks out some people in the crowd and spins up a little original song about them. Advertisement '[T]hey've been doing this at their concerts for yearrrrrrrrrs. First time this has really happened,' one Redditor said. 'We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd. How we're gonna do that is we're gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen,' Martin said Saturday, as seen in video taken at the show, which some may notice is followed by comments from many media outlets requesting permission to post the video. 'So please, if you haven't done your makeup,' Martin continued, 'do your makeup now.' Sounds like a fairly anodyne introduction that could easily be followed by, 'Oh, look at these two. All right, c'mon. You're OK. Oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' But hey, that's been done, amirite? Advertisement Grace Springer, the concert-goer who posted the video of the alleged cheaters in the first place, reassured viewers of a U.K. morning show that her TikTok was 'not monetized,' so she made exactly zero dollars from kicking off the dust-up. Then again, Springer is the same person who said, 'A part of me feels bad for turning these people's lives upside down, but, play stupid games … win stupid prizes,' so it would have been kinda perfect if she got rich off the viral moment. She also revealed on 'This Morning' that the moment almost didn't happen, because she didn't think much of the video when she shot it, she said. Advertisement 'It wasn't until after the concert, where I was debriefing with my friends and I said, 'Let's review the footage, let's see if it really looks that bad.' And I think it does,' Springer explained. So of course, she had to post it. Because of course, she did. Clearly, her friends should bear some of the blame. Someone get on that. Now, over at the Free Press, writer Kat Rosenfield had thoughts about all of this bad behavior. 'It was a full-bore public shaming, imbued with an unhinged and vicious glee that we hadn't experienced since, well, the last time millions of strangers rallied to the cause of destroying someone's life — but magnified by the fact that everything and everyone involved was a standard menu item at the Things You Love to Hate buffet,' she wrote. 'Adultery. CEOs. HR representatives. Rich people with linen shirts and expensive highlights. Coldplay, for that matter.' And she was right. The guy tendered his resignation as chief exec at software development firm Astronomer, and the company announced it was launching an investigation into the situation. The original function of public shaming, she wrote, was to keep community bonds strong and hold people who would weaken them accountable. But, Rosenfield said, 'When we take joy in the distress and ruination of other people, we make monsters of ourselves,' in that the internet has turned public shaming into a gleeful, global spectator sport. Excellent point. That said, the video really was entertaining. Irresistible, perhaps, if only because the man in question was married and the woman in question was his human resources subordinate who got caught breaking all the rules that are usually laid out by our friends in, well, human resources. That aside, Astronomer's interim chief executive, co-founder Pete DeJoy, did take a moment to put things in perspective for the business itself, which was somewhat of a non-player character in this twisted game. Advertisement 'The events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies — let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world — ever encounter,' DeJoy wrote Monday as part of a larger post on LinkedIn. 'The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name.' A household name. We ask again — is it, really? The internet jury remains out on that one. Also, speaking of human resources, remember Alyssa Stoddard, the senior director of HR that Astronomer felt compelled to announce as NOT at the concert with former chief exec Andy Byron and top HR honcho Kristin Cabot? That was because numerous stories were written claiming Stoddard was the 'other' woman on the kiss-cam/fan-cam/video, the one who was laughing and smiling and looking forward the entire time. Then there were stories saying that the first stories — some of which reportedly said she had been fired? — were mistaken. And it was all somehow blamed on a rumor that started on the social media platform now known by the very silly name X. 'As confirmed, I was not at the Coldplay concert on Wednesday night and I am not the brunette woman in the circulating videos. I am not involved in this,' Stoddard wrote on LinkedIn, sounding like she was neither laughing nor smiling. 'Being wrongly identified and then publicly harassed has been unnerving to say the least and incredibly difficult, both personally and professionally. 'I kindly ask that my privacy be respected, and that I be left out of this.' If only it were that easy, Ms. Stoddard. If only it were that easy.

She accessorized the look with a pair of sunglasses, a pink necklace and gold chain, as well as gold bracelets and a few rings. The carousel of photos also features a picture of Sims lounging on the beach in the same bikini, adding a sunhat as an accessory, as well as a video of her golden retriever splashing around in the water on the wet sand.

APP USERS CLICK HERE FOR POST She also advised to try and avoid attending any parties or family gatherings hungry, especially over the holidays, adding "that can be tricky." Her biggest piece of advice, however, was keeping in mind that "one bad night, two bad nights is not what packs on the pounds. It's just a little bit here. A little bit there."

"So, the chicken fingers, the pizza, the pasta, the f------ tater tots, the leftover fries. That alone. You don't even realize a little bit here, a little bit here, a little bit here." Sims previously opened up about her "difficult" relationship with food in her early days as a model, during an appearance on the "Getting Grilled With Curtis Stone" podcast in April 2024. While trying to make it as a model, Sims explained she was told she was "too fat, too big, too blonde, too dark." This made her transition into a model hard as she came from a Southern family who were always cooking and eating together. "It went from that to basically, I wouldn't say 'starving myself,' but pretty much," she said. "So it was such a drastic - I had a lot of support from my mom and my dad, but it was hard."

I mean I got pretty thin because of the pressure - the pressure of being sent back home … you become very disciplined."
