Video: Owner Shares Why One Must Be a ‘Dog Person' To Visit Their House
Isn't it adorable when some dogs are over-friendly? This Instagram video shows how a Pit Bull and Labrador-mix named Rhubarb treats his guests by clinging to them. They must be a 'dog person' if they want to visit the owner's house. In the caption, the uploader refers to the pet's behavior and says, 'We don't make the rules, Rhubarb does.' Owner reveals that their dog 'has no concept of personal space' in video In a cute and funny video on Instagram, a Pit Bull and Labrador-mix named Rhubarb has an excellent way to greet his owner's guests. Towards the beginning of the clip, the pet parent states that people must be 'a dog person' if they want to visit their house. The reason is that Rhubarb does not understand the 'concept of personal space.' It further shows the dog playing with the guests and clinging to them. The canine absolutely loves the attention as he is also seen sitting on the humans' faces while receiving scratches. Rhubarb seems super friendly to the guests, as he repays their love with licks and tail wagging. At the end, the dog does not leave any space while he hugs one man's shoulder and keeps his head on the visitor's head. The latter, too, does not mind Rhubarb's closeness even when he is busy working on his laptop. Meanwhile, viewers share their thoughts in the comments, praising the video. A user wrote, 'That's fine I don't need personal space when it comes to dogs.' Another mentioned, 'Please invite me! I want to hug Rhubarb every time I see her anyway!' One individual further commented, 'I would love that kind of invasion of personal space!' Netizens also requested that the owner send them invitations to their house, as they also want to be with Rhubarb. Moreover, the video has garnered over 251K likes at the time of writing.

Ten restaurants drop out of Michelin guide; sign of times for troubled F&B industry
THE wave of fine-dining closures in Singapore had a profound impact at this year's Michelin awards ceremony, as 10 one-starred restaurants dropped out of the list – the highest attrition rate since the prestigious guide made its debut in the city-state in 2015. There are now just 32 restaurants in Singapore with one star, among which Omakase@Stevens was the sole new entry for 2025. The Japanese restaurant, which opened in 2020, also received the Young Chef Award for its 31-year-old head chef Kazuki Arimoto. He joined the restaurant as a sous chef in 2022, and was promoted in 2024. In the only other new entry for the night, Sushi Sakuta, helmed by Yoshio Sakuta, was elevated from one to two stars. While Arimoto acknowledged that he was both 'happy and surprised' at the double win for his restaurant, veteran sushi chef Sakuta said he couldn't believe that his eponymous restaurant had moved up to the next level. He joins fellow two-star restaurants Meta, Thevar, Jaan by Kirk Westaway, Shoukouwa (where he was head chef before stepping out on his own), Saint Pierre and Cloudstreet. Retaining their three stars were Les Amis, Odette and Zen. Of the 10 restaurants which dropped out of the one-star list, only two are still in operation – Rhubarb and Terra Tokyo Italian. Rhubarb recently rebranded itself as the more casual Encore by Rhubarb, while Terra was moved out to the Michelin Select List, which comprises promising restaurants that are below both Michelin one star and Bib Gourmand.

Sign Up Sign Up The other eight restaurants that closed down were Art di Daniele Sperindio (which will reopen later this year), Matera, Sushi Oshino, Shinji, Sommer, Poise, Sushi Kimura and Chef Kang's Cantonese. At the event held at Marina Bay Sands, several special awards given out. The service award was given to Ines Carriere Bega of Odette, while Bella Jankaew from Jaan by Kirk Westaway received the sommelier award. Paul Longworth, chef-owner of Rhubarb, which has been a fixture in the Michelin Guide from the very start, had 'fully expected to be removed from this year's edition', he said. He had already informed Michelin about his plans to make the restaurant 'more relaxed and affordable', as he has found that 'diners want something less formal and more personal'. It is unclear whether the revamp was also a factor in Rhubarb losing its star, but he added: 'If we still want that accolade, we will have to earn it on merit again.' Underneath the glamour and cocktails at the post-awards party, chefs and others in the industry were sanguine about the challenges they faced. The drop in the number of one-star restaurants is a reflection of the times, said Odette's Julien Royer. 'Over the past 12 months or so, the economic situation has been very difficult. But I really feel and hope that the worst is over, and Singapore will shine again.' Sebastien Lepinoy of Les Amis said: 'It's not a situation that is exclusive to Singapore. The same thing is happening all over the world, even in London and New York. It's bad everywhere. We just have to adapt our business and come back fighting.' He's cautiously confident that things will get better soon. 'People are saving money and not spending on luxury, but at the end of the year, they will come back, especially with Formula 1 and other festivities coming up.'

Rescued one-eyed shih-tzu makes progress 'every second'
One of 96 shih-tzus rescued from a breeding home in appalling conditions has become a "completely different dog" since her rehabilitation with the RSPCA. The organisation described the dogs as "flea-infested" and "matted with faeces" as a result of over-breeding when found in Torquay, Devon, in Maddox, from Bodmin, adopted Rhubarb, or Rhu, who underwent rehabilitation at the RSPCA in St Columb. Ms Maddox said Rhubarb, who now only has one eye, progresses "every single second". Figures shared with the BBC on Tuesday showed animal cruelty reports in the summer months rose by a third across England and Maddox said she found the data scary. She said: "You just don't know what's happening on your street. And it's scary that you can walk down the road and in these houses there could be all of these animals that are being neglected and abused."I think the more people that take a stand and the more people that say 'you know, something doesn't feel right here', the more animals that we can save." 'Bond and a trust' Ms Maddox said Rhubarb had adapted faster than she had expected but it took the dog a while to realise she was safe."It took a long time, she had to understand that we weren't going to force anything on her, if she wasn't ready to do something that was absolutely fine," she said. "Obviously, you take a little dog out into the world", she said "and everybody wants to come over for a cuddle"."You have to have the confidence to say to people 'look I'm really sorry, I'm trying to work on a bond and a trust here with a rescue dog'." Ms Maddox said: "She needs to know that I'm going to stand up for her and that I am her safe place."When she's ready, yes we can progress to that, but right now we have to take this in her own time and if she's not ready then that is absolutely fine." She added if people were thinking about getting a rescue dog they should "do it." "Don't feel bad. If the journey is two steps forward and one step back, that is absolutely normal."It will be the best thing that you do in your entire life."

Sorbet Nails Are Literally The Coolest Manicure Trend For 2025
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. I won't pretend sorbet nails are a brand-new trend. Let's be real — they look a lot like the pastel manicures that pop up every year at this time. But while they're not exactly groundbreaking, there's no denying that the biggest nail artists are obsessed with them right now. From Iram Shelton's shimmering strawberry manicure to Harriet Westmoreland's mint sorbet French tips, sorbet nails provide a cool pop of colour among the wave of neutral princess nails and milky manicures. For the sceptics amongst us, there is a subtle difference between this year's sorbet nails and more traditional pastels: 'Though they're in the same family of soft tones, sorbet shades are slightly more vibrant versions of pastel colours,' explains session manicurist Ami Streets. 'Inspired by their namesake edible summer treat, they're even brighter and juicier, often with a sheer or jelly-like finish that gives a gorgeously glossy and playful vibe.' Think of fruity hues inspired by your favourite ice cream flavours, such as banana, peach, strawberry, or pistachio, if you're unsure where to start. View this post on Instagram A post shared by faye louise dennis (@fayelouisedennis) How do you wear sorbet nails? Streets points out that sorbet shades lend themselves beautifully to nail art looks. 'Soft ombré gradients in sorbet colours are a dreamy nail look... effortlessly blending shades like pinks and peaches, for example, creates a sun-kissed effect that feels light, airy, and totally on-trend,' says Streets. Additionally, for minimalists, French tips, half-moon manis, and simple, dainty dot designs are a great way to wear sorbet hues more subtly. Orange Jelly View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nail Bar Milwaukee (@nailbarmke) This dewy citrus manicure created by Nail Bar Milwaukee has a beautiful jelly-like texture, which gives it a really playful edge. Recreate it at home with Essie's Expressie Nail Polish Don't Hate, Curate, $20. Rhubarb & Custard View this post on Instagram A post shared by ✨🪩🇲🇽 𝓡𝓪𝓶𝓸𝓷 𝓓𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓷 🇲🇽🪩✨ (@craftedbyaprince) Why pick just one colour when you can wear two? This strawberry milk and lemon sorbet fade created by nail artist Ramon Duran is utterly delicious. Strawberry Sorbet View this post on Instagram A post shared by Iram Shelton (@iramshelton) We're with this sheer and shimmery delight created by nail artist Iram Shelton, and will be rushing to recreate this combination of soft sparkling base and juicy pink ombré. Peach Cooler View this post on Instagram A post shared by Victoria | Nail Artist (@nailsxgoldenhour) Juicy and ultra-glossy, this peach manicure created by nail artist Victoria is to die for. OPI's Infinite Shine Nail Polish in Dreamsicle, $25, has the same sheer, watery feel, but with a touch of shimmer. Lemon Ice Streets pointed to pale yellow being one of the 'huge breakout sorbet hues', and this monochromatic look created by @kkdnails proves that it isn't going anywhere. Try Manucurist's Mimosa Nail Polish, $23, for a similar buttery lemon hue. Watermelon Shine View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zanë Jashari (@zanasnails) Aura nails lend themselves beautifully to sorbet hues, as nail artist Zanë Jashari proves with this delicate blush-colored design. Mint Tips View this post on Instagram A post shared by Harriet Westmoreland (@harrietwestmoreland) The simplest way to dabble in sorbet shades if you're a minimalist at heart is by switching the color of your French tips. This punchy mint look by Harriet Westmoreland is so fresh and chic. Try OPI's Infinite Shine In Mint Condition Nail Polish, $24.95 to get the look at home.

How Massachusetts weather is impacting the growing season for flowers
SOUTHWICK, Mass. (WWLP) – The plant growing season is under way and we're starting to see some more and more showing up at area farms. After a dry start this spring, the rain we've been getting lately has been beneficial for area farmers. It was very busy at Calabrese Farms in Southwick on Thursday with people picking up flowers and some of the vegetables that are now available. Experts urge protection against summer pest threats; Tips to stay safe Joe Calabrese says so far things have been pretty good this season, 'Overall the temperatures have been up pretty good so that's helping a lot even with the moisture. But going into next week, we're seeing highs in the 60s and 40s at night, so that kind of slows down the growing of the crops in the field right now. Right now, there are plenty of flowers available, and you'll also find asparagus as well as Rhubarb. In the next couple of weeks, you can look for things like head lettuce, and in about a month, strawberries should be out.
