Puppy's Suspicious Reaction to Sparkling Water Declared Relatable: 'Valid'
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. Internet viewers have deemed a dog's reaction to trying sparkling water "valid" as the confused pup appeared shocked and confused. Nellie, a miniature bull terrier, lives in the U.K. with her owners, who have a TikTok account dedicated to her: @nellie_the_mini_bully. This details the adventures of the 12-week-old pup, from getting the zoomies to taking naps in the most-comfortable spots in the house. Now one recent video has catapulted Nellie to viral fame, as her owners documented her trying sparkling water, rather than still. In a clip viewed close to 5 million times since being posted on June 24, her owner places Nellie's water bowl on the ground, with the puppy wagging her tail in anticipation. But once she leans over and takes a short drink, she immediately realizes something's not right. Nellie first walks away from the bowl, before designating it her enemy—and she jumps, barks and growls at the suspicious water as her owners burst out laughing. Just to be certain, though, Nellie takes another short drink—and, with her suspicions confirmed, she continues jumping and barking at the bowl. The video caption reads: "Why it spicy." And TikTok users loved it, awarding the clip more than 1 million likes, as one user called Nellie's reaction "reasonable" and another called it a "valid response." "Seriously sparkling water tastes like static tv," one viewer posted, as another added that "sparkling water tastes like an email." And as a third person summed it up: "Bro drank the water of uncontrollable rage." Nellie the miniature bull terrier puppy reacts with suspicion to a bowl of sparkling water.

Veterinarian Dr. Gary Richter, author of The Ultimate Pet Health Guide, told Rover that, while carbonated water is "OK in a pinch," he would not recommend large amounts of it as there is a "rare" chance it could lead to gas buildup. Having still water available for puppies is vital, as it facilitates the metabolic process and regulates a puppy's temperature, according to the American Kennel Club. When house-training a puppy, owners may choose to remove water overnight to prevent accidents, but it should be readily available throughout the day.

Tampa General Expands Artificial Intelligence Capabilities with New Ambient Listening Technology for Nurses
Building upon positive momentum from the academic health system's ambient listening technology for physicians, Tampa General is deploying a new AI solution purpose-built for nursing. TAMPA, Fla., June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tampa General Hospital (TGH) today announced the rollout of Microsoft's ambient listening capabilities for nurses embedded in Epic's Rover mobile nursing application. These capabilities aim to reduce the administrative burden on nurses, who studies have shown can spend as much as 15 percent of their shifts on documentation alone.1 The deployment of this new solution, tailored to address the unique needs of bedside nurses, is the academic health system's latest initiative to harness the power of AI to increase productivity and job satisfaction while enhancing patient experience and quality of care. "Our guiding philosophy has always been to put our team members first, so they feel engaged, supported and empowered to show up at their best for our patients," said Wendi Goodson-Celerin, executive vice president and chief nursing executive at Tampa General. "Microsoft's ambient listening technology can give nurses back hours of time per shift that they'd ordinarily spend manually entering data into a computer, and the research shows that this is time they would prefer to spend at the bedside with their patients, upskilling newer nurses and honing their craft. In this way, it is giving nurses the gift of more capacity to what they were trained to do, and what no one else does better." Like DAX Copilot, whose ambient listening capabilities are now part of Microsoft Dragon Copilot and became available to more than 500 physicians affiliated with Tampa General in June 2024, the new ambient listening capabilities for nurses can securely capture a patient story, including details of symptoms, observations and experiences and automatically convert it into specialty-specific, clinical summaries in seconds, making it possible for nurses to spend more time providing direct patient care, training the next generation of nursing team members and investing in their own professional development. "We have long believed that the best, most successful innovations emerge as answers to real-world problems," said Amit Patel, chief nursing informatics officer at Tampa General. "When approaching the rollout of ambient technology for nurses, we took a hard look at how we could use existing technology in new ways to drive the most meaningful impact – both for our team members and for patients. We're proud to see this solution in action, enabling the personal connections that ultimately result in world-class care." Within the first few months of implementation, Tampa General aims to strengthen care coordination and free nurses' time to focus on providing direct care by reducing the time spent charting and closing the time gap between patient assessments and documentation in their charts.

Kai of EXO on trying out new sounds in his new album 'Wait on Me'
The last time South Korean heartthrob Kai was in Singapore, it was six years ago and he was joined by his fellow members as part of EXO's Exploration Tour. Since then, a few things have changed—he gained a sassy moniker of 'Mr. Rover' with the viral release of his solo hit 'Rover' and fulfilled his mandatory military service. Now, returning as a solo artist to our shores, the EXO member is psyched about his upcoming show this week at the Star Theatre. 'Unfortunately, I can't spoil anything but once you see the show, you'll know why I couldn't say more. And once I get to Singapore, I look forward to trying out more of the local food and if I have the time, I hope I get to explore the city more.' Assuredly, it will be a sizzling show to remember, especially with his recent album release Wait On Me , a comeback that's made even more special after a two-year hiatus in the military. Within the seven-track mini album, lies different facets of Kai. The title track 'Wait On Me', mired with a sensual trance beat, sings of desire and longing whilst the catchy electro number 'Adult Swim' serves up a cheeky bop of the summer. Kai, alone in a crop tee is proof of that. Below, the EXO member shares more about the making of Wait On Me , trying out different sounds and the reactions his members had to the album. 1 / 5 Tell us more about the concept of this album. It is the first album after my military service, so it naturally dealt with the theme of waiting–or more precisely, the art of waiting. There are many ways to interpret it, but as I mentioned above, it can be a message to my fans, and the album itself is almost like a gift after the long wait, even for me. 2 / 5 With regards to the name 'Wait on Me', was that intended for your fans who have been eagerly anticipating your return from the military? Yes, it is definitely a message to my fans who've stayed by my side all this time, but there can also be multiple interpretations. For instance, it could also be about the longing to be back on stage. 3 / 5 The songs within the album seem to have many influences—from afrobeats to trance, tell us what it was like trying this new sound. I actually got to explore a lot of interesting sounds while working on this album. And as a result, I think every song in the tracklist ultimately has its own unique mood. Working with new sounds opens up my perspective every time, and it can be really inspiring! 4 / 5 Just like past performances from Kai, this album shows off plenty of cool, new dance choreography. Which track had to be your favourite to dance to and why? I like all the choreography, but I think the title song 'Wait On Me' has to be my favourite. It might be a hard dance for fans to follow, but I think the mood of the song and the choreography go really well together. It gives off a powerful and sexy vibe. Courtesy of SM Entertainment 5 / 5 We're curious to find out how your EXO members reacted to your album and music videos. How were the reactions so far? They all gave me positive feedback, and they're all really supportive. When they saw the 'Wait On Me' MV, they were like, 'Ah, yes this is the classic Kai!'

Colorado dog sitter accused of stealing nearly half a million dollars in jewelry, owner says she met suspect on Rover app
A Colorado dog sitter is accused of stealing nearly half a million dollars in jewelry. The owner, who asked not to be identified for safety reasons, said it slipped away piece by piece. "She stole diamond necklaces, diamond tennis bracelets," the woman who owned the items told CBS Colorado. Months would pass before she realized pieces of her collection were missing. "There had been no break-ins, no unusual people at the house," she said. Court documents list the names of everyone the woman says had access to her home. One of them was her dog sitter Azure Foster. "She dog sat for us a couple times and eventually we started using her just to come to the house and water the plants," the woman said. CBS The pair connected on a popular pet app called Rover. According to Rover, anyone who joins is thoroughly vetted with an enhanced background check that includes a search of federal, state and county databases. A CBS Colorado background check showed Foster had no felony criminal history in Colorado, but police say their investigation led them to Foster. Combing through pawn shop transaction records that include fingerprints and photos, detectives say over the course of several months, Foster allegedly pawned roughly $30,000 of stolen jewelry. Azure Foster was arrested in May and charged with felony theft. Arapahoe County She was arrested by Cherry Hills Village police in May and charged with felony theft. "There's always going to be people that might get into a situation where they take advantage of an opportunity. Number one, start with a reputable company. But even then, when you are allowing people into your house you still must be mindful of your safety and security, so we recommend to everybody anytime you are inviting somebody in that you don't know who they are, you have to do what you can to protect yourself and your valuables," Cherry Hills Village Police Department Cmdr. Brennan Lenininger said. Lenininger says in cases like this, it's critical to follow the rules set up by the app, including keeping all payments and communication within the platform. "Sometimes what we see is people that initially went through an app or a company to get these services, they pay through the service. (Then) they eventually bypass that and go directly through the person. We always advise against that, because you never know who you are dealing with," Lenininger said. CBS According to arrest paperwork, all but one of the pieces of stolen jewelry was melted down or sold. None of what was stolen can be reproduced. Foster appeared in court for a preliminary hearing on June 11. The hearing was continued. She will return to court in July. CBS Colorado spoke with Foster by phone. She says she plans to hire an attorney and plead not guilty in the case. A Rover spokesperson says what the dog owner alleges happened with this sitter is extremely rare and more than a million services have been booked by pet owners with the majority resulting in positive reviews.
