Doodle Comes Back from Groomer with Mullet and Beard, and He's a Full-on Redneck Icon
Doodle Comes Back from Groomer with Mullet and Beard, and He's a Full-on Redneck Icon originally appeared on Parade Pets. We just love pet parents with a sense of humor, and one Doodle dog has just that. Dad brought this pup to get his hair d one, and he strutted out of the groomer's rocking a full-blown mullet and the kind of scruffy beard that screams "backwoods legend." We're talking business in the front, party in the back. He looks like he's about to shotgun a can of dog-friendly beer and start a backyard band with the neighbor's Basset Hound. Just watch this to see what I mean. This pooch is doing both Travis Tritt and Billy Ray Cyrus proud. The hilarious caption reads, "My husband is NEVER allowed to pick the dog's haircut ever again!" And I'm with one person in the comments who said, "Ma'am, your husband should be the ONLY one picking the dog's haircut moving forward." The comments on this hilarious video do not disappoint, and someone else added, "The dog is paying child support to three baby mommas and has a 400 credit score." Another person added, "He absolutely looks ready for some summer tailgating parties. I think you should get him a Budweiser bandana and just lean into it!" If you're looking for a new groomer for your own fur baby, here are some tips to hopefully make the process go smoother. Just like with any other dog service (veterinary care, boarding, doggy daycare), your first course of action is to ask your friends and family where they take their dog. If they trust their usual groomer to do a good job, it's a great sign for your pet. Here's another pup rocking the business in the front and the party in the back! So many groomers have social media, so check Instagram and Facebook to see if they have a social media page where you can see their work and read reviews from their clients. If you're nervous, schedule an appointment for your pup to have a bath, or ask for a consult. Like with any business, ask questions. Ask what they do if your dog is nervous, how they handle nail trims, if anal gland expressing is extra — all those things. If they are just bathing your pup, you can get a chance to know them and check out their vibe before you trust them to cut your dog's hair. Be very specific about what you want. If you want a teddy cut, ask for it. If you don't want your pooch to be shaved, tell them. Bring photos of cuts your dog has received previously that you like, or photos from similar cuts on the same breed.

Tears as 15-Year-Old Dog Found on Street – Then Shelter Find Microchip
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. Hearts have been broken by the devastating sight of a 15-year-old stray dog who wound up in a shelter—but then something unexpected happened. When Sara Yoder, 25, isn't working as an elementary school teacher, she's changing lives in another way by volunteering at the Carson Animal Shelter in Los Angeles, California. She regularly sits with the dogs, comforts them, and captures footage to share on social media (@saranoellie on TikTok). Among the many dogs she's recently highlighted was a senior dog who was found as a stray and taken to the shelter on June 24. Seeing this 15-year-old dog wind up in a kennel was a devastating sight, as Yoder told Newsweek that he looked "alone and weathered by time." The dog is thought to be part Basset Hound, but Yoder wonders if he might have some Golden Retriever or Labrador in him. As a stray, he didn't have a name, leading one volunteer to jovially name him Fat Boy. But that didn't sit right with Yoder, who thinks he deserves something more respectful.

"His fur is rough, his eyes tired, and his movements slow, as if life has never given him the gentleness he deserves." She continued: "He is gentle, heartbreakingly so. A quiet, tender soul who moves slowly and carefully. He spent most of his days curled up on the cold concrete floor, barely lifting his head." Upon arriving at the shelter, the senior dog was scanned for a microchip. To their surprise, he had one. He had clearly been someone's pet, but he found himself lying in a kennel, waiting to be noticed. Yoder shared a video of the dog on TikTok and it went viral with over 392,200 views and 93,700 likes in a matter of days. The dog's sorrowful face captured attention online, as internet users were horrified at what happened to such an old pup. The online response was astonishing, as numerous adopters and rescue groups contacted Yoder to offer their help. She told Newsweek that she's felt "overwhelmed with hope and gratitude" that so many people wanted to help this sweet dog find a loving home. "So many people have opened their hearts and seen the same quiet potential in him. It's been deeply moving to witness strangers from all over rally around him, sending messages of kindness and sharing his story," Yoder said. As the shelter worked out a solution for the dog, the unexpected happened—the dog's owner came forward. The owner claimed that the dog wandered away from his home and she was there to reclaim him. The shelter offered to give the dog to a loving adopter, but the owner declined and was "was more than loving," and when they were reunited, the senior dog even "cried seeing his mom." "While it's hard to let go after witnessing his vulnerability, we hope he's safe and surrounded by love. May his days be filled with soft beds, kind hands, and the peace every senior dog deserves," Yoder said. "The love of a dog knows no bounds. We are hopeful he's happy in a familiar and loving home. His story is a reminder of the many paths we witness in shelters, some end in reunions, some in rescue, some come too late." If this senior dog has shown anything, it's the power of rescuing. Yoder hopes that the online attention will inspire others to consider adopting a pet. For anyone who was moved by this dog's story, Yoder has one message: take action. Whether it's fostering, adopting, volunteering, or simply sharing a video on social media. There are millions of animals in need of a home, and all they need is the right person to notice them. The viral TikTok video of the dog has gained over 2,500 comments on TikTok already. One person wrote: "I really hope someone gets this baby." Another TikTok user replied: "gosh he deserves to spend his time in a home in a soft bed." While one commenter added: "oh no he's so heartbroken."

Ree Drummond's Grandma Moves for Sofia Are Pure Joy to Watch!
You'd never know Ree Drummond is a first-time grandmother based on the way she is absolutely excelling at grandbaby duties! Ree has been outspoken about the uncertainties regarding becoming a grandparent since her eldest daughter Alex announced her pregnancy, but it's clear that The Pioneer Woman (endearingly called ReeRee in her new role) is already beyond loved by five-month-old granddaughter Sofia. Keep reading to see the adorable (and hilarious) video of Ree getting silly to entertain Sofia on their walk! In a new Instagram post, Ree can be seen dancing and skipping down the road while walking and pushing Sofia in her stroller as the song 'We're Off to See The Wizard' plays in the background, doing everything she can to keep the baby girl happy. 'Entertaining Sofia during her fussy pre-bedtime walk last night,' Ree captioned her video. 'We parents and grandparents do what must be done.' She also asked viewers to ignore the interruption of the family Basset Hound dogs, as they had to follow Ree and Sofia and investigate all of the smells along the ranch road (Alex's golden retriever George could also be seen joining the fun!) Later on, Alex shared her own point-of-view with a video shared to her Instagram stories (which you can see in this The Pioneer Woman blog post). The close-up of Sofia reveals that Ree's attempts were fruitful, as the baby sweetly laughed at her antics. 'ReeRee is so funny!!,' Alex captioned the video, where Ree can also be seen using a baseball cap to tap Sofia's tiny feet. 'She didn't want to hold the hat, she wanted me to pat her feet with the hat,' Ree chimed while re-sharing Alex's post. Ree is always sure to share moments captured when she visits with Sofia, and most recently, the family was all together to celebrate the wedding of Paige Drummond at the ranch. In her The Pioneer Woman recap of Paige marrying David Andersen, Ree included an adorable snap of Sofia with her parents outside on the sprawling Drummond ranch grounds. 'Alex and Mauricio got married in this spot four years ago,' she captioned the photo. 'And look at precious Sofia.' And, in an Instagram post where Ree shared some of her favorite pictures from the day, Sofia of course made multiple appearances. These special moments included Paige holding Sofia and kissing her on the cheek, and Sofia being carried down the aisle by her dad, Mauricio Scott, during the ceremony. Ree also shared photos of herself and husband Ladd Drummond holding Sofia during the wedding (complete with a zoom-in on Sofia's face), with the caption 'Our little pookie princess.'
