Rottweiler Finds Musical Instrument, Gets Stuck in the Most Unexpected Way
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In a vet clinic in New South Wales, Australia, one dog surprised staff when she arrived in "a bit of a pickle." Koda, a 10-month-old rottweiler, had surprised her mom when she returned home from her first Tinder date and found her pup at the door. The surprise? A white circular object was lodged firmly in her mouth. The pup had managed to get hold of a Zendrum—a hand-held percussion instrument—and accidentally lodged it in her mouth. Koda's owner rushed her to the vet where veterinarian and clinic owner Dr. Bruce Krumm quickly stepped in. "We sedated Koda first, then intubated her as a precaution in case general anesthesia was required. Fortunately, Dr. Krumm was able to remove the Zendrum without needing to fully anaesthetise her," Tiana McLaren, practice manager at Kanwal Veterinary Hospital, told Newsweek.

While we often see foreign-body ingestion, it's not every day something gets stuck quite like this," McLaren said. Unexpectedly consumed items are no surprise in the pet world. In 2023, pet medical insurance company Trupanion reported that it handled 24,000 foreign-body ingestion claims in pets. The average claim was $878, while the highest claim was $27,403. The clinic shared a video of the moment on Instagram where it has been viewed more than 540,000 times. In the comments, people shared their reactions. "Sooo he bit more than he could chew," joked one viewer, while another said: "They just wanted to be a drummer." "Miss Koda is still cute," wrote a third commenter. "Even with a Zen drum stuck to her snoot." Not all feedback was friendly, though. Some social-media users suggested the procedure must have cost the owner thousands and accused veterinarians of profiteering. But McLaren said: "Just to put things into perspective—the total cost of the procedure was $259. It's not about a money grab. It's about caring for animals." Koda is now doing just fine, free from the musical drum, and her mom is still seeing the man from the first date who got to see it all. This isn't the first time an unusual vet story has captured viral attention. Earlier this year, an owner panicked when her dog started acting strangely, only to discover that the pup had accidentally eaten a THC-infused edible. Another dog owner found herself left with a $600 vet bill, but the diagnosis was far from expected. After a trip to the veterinarian, they found out that the dog was simply struggling with gas.

Mom Relaxes on Couch With Son and Bump—4 Days Later, Life Changes Forever
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A couple was preparing to welcome a new baby into their home, not realizing mom was actually carrying twins. Emmy Quintana, 29, lives in Utah with her husband, Alexander, 30, their three-year-old son Artemis, and their newest arrivals, twins Micah and Finnick, aged four months. For months, Quintana and her husband were preparing their lives to welcome a sibling for Artemis, and while Quintana had "always wanted and prayed for twins," they assumed they were expecting just one baby. "I would joke around about me having twins to my husband, but he didn't think it was funny," she told Newsweek. "Looking back, it is definitely obvious that what I was feeling was not normal. My baby bump started showing really early, and I felt the baby kick weeks before I had with my first pregnancy. Everything was way more sensitive. It felt like there was so much more weight on my hips way earlier on." Emmy Quintana and her young son, before she learned she was expecting twins. Emmy Quintana and her young son, before she learned she was expecting twins. Instagram @emmypickle Despite this, the assumption of one baby lasted all through the pregnancy, until four days before Quintana gave birth, when the couple received the shock news that she was, in fact, carrying twins. Their story has now been seen by hundreds of people, after the mom-of-three shared what happened to her Instagram account, @emmypickle. In a video posted on July 17, with 897 likes, Quintana relaxes on the couch with her young son and their pet cat. And while it seems like a normal family snapshot, she wrote: "She doesn't know it yet but there is an additional baby in her belly waiting to be discovered just 4 days before being born." Instagram users were awed, one calling it a "wonderful surprise," and asking: "Did you have to go out and buy a second car seat and such? Did you even have time to do so with so few days before they arrived?" "The cat was telling you all alone," one commenter said, pointing out how the pet was lying across Quintana's stomach in the clip. "My cat was the most accurate pregnancy test ever. She predicted both my younger siblings and my kids too." Another shared their own story: "I also didn't know I was carrying twins until I went into labor at 35.4 weeks. Had one ultrasound at 18-20 weeks—saw one baby!" In Quintana's case, she explained they "opted to not do any ultrasounds this pregnancy, which resulted in us never knowing it was twins til later on." "I remember hearing somewhere that your second pregnancy is way different than your first, because your body knows what to expect. Looking back at all my symptoms and the way I was feeling, it was definitely because I had twins—but at the time, I thought it was just different because it wasn't my first pregnancy." It was only when Quintana reached 35 weeks and began "measuring slightly ahead" that her midwife suggested she could have extra amniotic fluid, or perhaps a larger-than-average baby. And at her next appointment, where she was measuring even further ahead, they "finally talked about the real possibility of there being two babies and how dramatically that could change what birth looks like. Read more Woman takes pregnancy test—hysterics at what she does ".02 seconds" later Woman takes pregnancy test—hysterics at what she does ".02 seconds" later "We agreed to go and get an ultrasound finally, so that both my birth team and we were prepared if it was twins." And just minutes in, her tech confirmed it—there were two. A gender blood test had already shown that Quintana was having a boy, and they initially "didn't worry about getting any more baby stuff" as they had plenty left from their firstborn. But after the shock twin reveal, "we scrambled to get a small registry together for the extra items we suddenly needed. We have a great support system and we were luckily able to get everything soon afterwards," she said. But things moved quickly—as just three days later, Quintana was diagnosed with preeclampsia, a condition dangerous for both mother and baby, and she was immediately brought in to be induced. "We went from thinking we had one baby and a few more weeks of being pregnant, to having my twin boys in my arms just four days later." In 2023, there were 110,393 twin births in the United States, at a rate of 30.7 per 1,000 live births. Triplets were far less common, at 2,505—and there were just `148 quadruplet or higher order births that year, according for the National Center for Health Statistics. Now, with the twins having arrived safely, Quintana has "no qualms about how everything happened. I think God had a plan and maybe He wanted me to have peace during the pregnancy—up until the ultrasound at least! "I'm a pretty laid back person and don't get anxious often so I loved getting the surprise and just looked at everything as a blessing."

Gwyneth Paltrow Is Serious. Seriously.
It's never been entirely clear if Gwyneth Paltrow is in on the joke, especially if it's on her. She seems too aloof, too controlling of everything. If an essential element of humor is the ability to see the absurdity of life, how do you account for her straight-faced shilling of $27 'psychic vampire repellent' and $120 'bio-frequency healing' sticker packs? But then came that Astronomer crisis commercial. Millions saw Andy Byron, who was at the time the chief executive of Astronomer, in an illicit kiss-cam embrace with his human resources executive, Kristin Cabot, at that Boston-area Coldplay concert last month. Publicly shamed, they both lost their jobs. But then, with the help of Ryan Reynolds's production company, Astronomer released a video featuring Ms. Paltrow, the Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin's ex-wife, to turn the crisis into a marketing opportunity for the heretofore obscure data management company. Ms. Paltrow, sitting in a spare room, wearing a simple pale blue office shirt, her hair casual and her makeup minimal, delivers the lines — 'Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow, unifying the experience of running data, M.L. and A.I. pipelines at scale. We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation' — with apparent sincerity, and a bit of a smirk. It went viral. With Astronomer, Ms. Paltrow did what she always does: transform an apparent P.R. disaster into a marketing moment. Ms. Paltrow has long been a polarizing figure, but she has been authentic — unapologetically rich and unwavering in her beliefs about everything from jade 'yoni' eggs to the superiority of raw dairy products (both of which medical experts advise against). Her unwillingness to let criticism break her has only seemed to fortify and expand her fan base, allowing her to sail through one backlash cycle after the other and still have brands like Astronomer lining up to work with her. Ms. Paltrow launched her lifestyle brand, Goop, in 2008 as the Great Recession unfolded. Facebook was four years old, Twitter was two and Instagram was two years away. While her actor peers were busy pooh-poohing social media, she leaned into influencing before anyone was calling it that. She wanted to capture email addresses for a newsletter of her recommendations, so she put up a website with the tagline 'Nourish the inner aspect.' 'My life is good because I am not passive about it,' Ms. Paltrow wrote. The press mocked the nascent enterprise, but the attention only led to a flood of subscribers and mass awareness of Goop.
