Cookie ready for forever playmates and family
Meet Cookie! This fun-sized one-year-old girl is playful and sweet as can be.
'Wayward Kin' to premiere at Archer City's Royal Theater
She has plenty of energy, as she is still young, but Cookie would do great with other dogs, as she loves to play, and she would do great with children, too.
While she is still a puppy, shelter staff assume she will only grow another couple of inches, staying relatively small.
If you are interested in this adventurous girl or any of her other friends at the HSWC, contact them at (940) 855-4941.

Danville's Royal Theater offers cheap, unique, family-friendly movie viewing experience
Bill Wright can tell you the exact seats he sat in next to his two daughters, Emmie, 6, and Danielle, 3, as they watched Polar Express inside Royal Theater back in 2004. The Danville resident and former police chief remembers the day being bitterly cold and snowing, but the memories he retains from that moment in time warm his heart to this day. That's why in 2017 when the theater came up for sale, Wright purchased the building and theater from a friend and local businessman who trusted him to preserve its nearly 100-year-old history. 'I went home and said, 'Honey, guess what I did,'' Wright remembers telling his wife, Sharon. 'She said, 'You did what?'' For a while, a management company would run the day-to-day operations of the theater, but then the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the Wrights saw an opportunity to close down and renovate. Though the theater was established in 1914, it found its home at its current location on Danville's town square in 1927. For nearly a year, the two worked to bring the theater back to its original prestige. By comparing old photos, Wright says they were able to pick out the same paint colors and similar carpet. Through the renovation process, many old relics were found in the walls and attic. Now some sit on display as you walk in the front doors under the building's marquee lit with red, blue and gold bulbs. Old movie tickets, posters and even an old projector weighing a ton greet visitors. The theater contains one screen and 220 seats. Ticket prices are $5, and concessions are fairly priced. All in an effort to keep the theater attainable and family-focused.

Cat's Reaction to Brother's Haircut Has Internet in Stitches
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 feline's dramatic reaction to his sibling's new haircut has delighted social-media users after going viral on TikTok. In the hilarious clip shared earlier in June under the username @_kita00, a gray tabby cat can be seen walking slowly into his owner's living room before abruptly freezing at the sight of his brother, after getting a new lion cut. While his sibling is just hanging around unbothered, the tabby cat appears confused and startled, arching his back in fear, as if he has seen a stranger. "When your brother comes back with the whackest haircut you've ever seen," reads layover text in the clip. Experts at Beverly Hills Veterinary Associates say that shaving your cat, in most cases, is not really necessary. Their fur helps them regulate their temperature, and shaving it may cause them to feel too hot or too cold. On a few occasions, some felines may benefit from having their fur shaved, but you should consult your veterinarian if you think that is the case, and have them groomed by a professional instead of trying to do it at home. Common reasons veterinarians might recommend shaving your cat include mats that can't be combed out; flea infestations; applying medications; and frequent hairballs or excessive shedding, which are usually tamed with a lion cut or other partially shaved style. Felines with physical challenges, such as senior or obese cats, who may have trouble grooming themselves properly, may also need shaving. Stock image: A tabby cat looks surprised with its mouth open.

One user, Cookie, commented: "Excuse me! That's an adorable style. My extra spicy long fur cat gets that exact cut, under sedation, of course! It has surprised me that the other cats never react strangely when he comes home." EmmaNorman535 posted: "My kitten was like that when my other fluffy black cat got that exact hair cut. but fun fact that hair cut made my fluffy cat more sociable now he talks to humans and let's them see him and pat him." KHFairy added: "We had to give one our cats a cut like that once. my other cat hissed and swiped at him for over a week! he was so sad she wouldn't go near him lol [laugh out loud]."
