The end of summer is a depressing time for kids, but we hear some Mom’s are more than a little thrilled.

Take for instance Keisha Leeann Gardner, who’s a funny Mom on a mission. That mission? To get as many likes and laughs on Facebook as possible.

While it’s fairly common for mother’s to post back-to-school photos of their kids on Facebook, posted one with a dash of wit and charm.

In the photo, Gardner is seen jumping for joy and we really can’t blame her. Gardner’s house is a very full one, complete with five kids. That’s a lot of mouths to feed and a lot of whining to be had on those boring summer days. And having the kids back in school means freedom for Gardner for a wonderful 8-hours a day they are at school.

The hilarious photos have been shared more than 150,000 times as of Monday. This isn’t the first time the family has taken photos in this way, but it is the first time the photos have gone viral, Gardner told FOX 13.

“We do them every year,” she said. “My husband takes them and he’s a plumber. We just do them really quickly before we leave for school. For some reason, this one decided to go viral,” Gardner said.

We wish this Mom the best of luck with her newly found free time. If you find these photos as hilarious as we do, please SHARE with friends and family!

Have you ever seen something so ridiculous?

In this case, we found a woman caught in the act of relieving her bladder in the middle of the dairy aisle. The dairy aisle is a place for many things. It’s a place for finding yogurt, cheese, and eggs, but I assure you, it is not a place for going to the bathroom.

However, when one woman couldn’t hold it in any longer, she went right in the refrigerated sections of the dairy aisle at her local grocery store.

The video sparked confusion, concern, and outrage. Some say she was likely confused or suffering from a mental affliction that caused this strange behavior. While other are wondering if maybe she knew what she was doing, because she DID look around before pulling her pants down.

Still others want to know why on Earth this bystander did nothing and walked away like it was nothing.

6-Year-Old Is Dragged By School Bus For 1 Mile

Talk about a close call! One little girl from North Carolina is lucky to be alive today after she miraculously survived a truly traumatic experience on her way home from school.

There is no denying that bus drivers have a very difficult job. From keeping kids behaved on the bus to dealing with chaos on the road, it must be hard to have a good day behind a school bus wheel, but it’s without a doubt one of the most important jobs to keep our little ones safe.

That’s why first-grader Chelsea Klepzig’s family was outraged when she never made it off the bus one Monday afternoon. The Daily News reported that the 6-year-old from Kernersville in the Winston-Salem got off the bus to meet her grandmother, when her arm got stuck in the door and the 78-year-old substitute driver, identified as Rueben Hash, had no idea.

Chelsea’s grandmother noticed and frantically chased down the driver, who finally pulled over after about 1 mile.

[Inside Edition]
[Inside Edition]
“If he was following any kind of procedure that he should be following, why didn’t he notice that my child didn’t make it around the front of the bus?” her father, John Klepzig, told Daily News. “Just to realize what had happened to her — it just tore me up.”

 

[Inside Edition]
[Inside Edition]
Miraculously, the girl walked away with only minor injuries. The driver reportedly resigned after the horrifying incident.

Can you believe this bus driver’s nearly-deadly mistake? Let us know what YOU would do as a parent in the comment section below…

Bus Driver Leaves 6-Year-Old At Abandoned Home

It’s every parent’s worst nightmare: the bus rolls by and your child doesn’t get off.

Understandably, Krystal Morton of Tennessee went into full-blown panic mode when her first-grader Carson VanMeter failed to make it home off the bus after school one day.

Morton told News 2 that instead of being dropped off at his family’s home in Murfreesboro, he was dropped off nearly six miles away… at an abandoned home.

According to WKRN, the boy’s grandfather once lived at the house, but it has been vacant for a long time. The 6-year-old was put on the wrong bus at Kittrell Elementary school and was terrified when he was left in the wrong neighborhood.

“They was very apologetic about it,” Morton said, but was very upset to learn that her boy began walking home alone, crying and yelling for help. “A very curvy road, dangerous. A bunch of people fly and speed down that road at all times,” said Morton.

[Kron 4]
After about a half hour, a truck driver saw the upset child and offered him a ride. “He could have gotten in that truck and I would have never seen my baby again,” Morton said of her tiny son.

“It’s a miracle that my son made it home safe and I’m so thankful to the gentleman that brought him home to me.”

The family is relieved the boy made it home safely, but still shaken, realizing how tragic the ending could have been.

Mom Scolds Adult Son After He Shames Nursing Mom At Public Pool

Here’s proof that it’s never too late to teach your kids a good lesson!

Let’s face it: there is no better way for a mother to become closer with her newborn baby than to breastfeed regularly, but every new mom knows that although nursing makes us proud, it can also often be very uncomfortable… both physically and emotionally.

That’s why we want to commend nursing mother and photographer Tanja Krstic Radusinovic of Las Vegas, Nevada who proudly fed her little one at a public pool this summer, despite strangers having a lot to say about it.

However, Radusinovic’s story ended much differently from this mom who was shamed at her son’s Boy Scouts meeting for freeing her nipples. Instead, the mom of three took to Facebook to share her story of boob-shaming poetic justice on the page Breastfeeding Mama Talk.

In the post, the mom says how as she was breastfeeding her son, trying to put him to sleep, underneath a towel, a man in his 40’s came over and said “excuse me, are you breastfeeding your baby?… I don’t think you should be doing THAT here!”.

Radusinovic was understandably furious, but before she had a chance to tell the man off, his mother, a “small, skinny woman” in her 70’s snuck up behind him and gave the man a good piece of her mind.

What came next is absolutely priceless! Don’t you just love it when moms of all ages stick together?!

Flight Attendant Adopts Stray Dog Who Waited 6 Months Outside Hotel For Her

With too many stray dogs roaming the planet, it can often be pretty heartbreaking to see them on the streets and not be able to do anything.

For months, this is exactly how one kindhearted flight attendant who works for Lufthansa felt during repeated trips to Argentina over the course of about six months.

Earlier this year, Olivia Sievers of Germany was walking around the neighborhood of the Hilton hotel in Puerto Madero, where she stays during her visits, when she came across a sweet and playful pooch.

Sievers named him Rubio and although she tried to shake the homeless dog, he wouldn’t leave her alone, waiting hopelessly outside her hotel. When she returned to Buenos Aires the next time, she was surprised to find him waiting there.

“I tried to change my way because I didn’t want that he follow me back to the hotel. But it was not possible,” Sievers told Noticiero Trece. “He always came back and followed me. I tried one hour, but he always watched me and followed me. He was really happy that somebody gave him attention.”

Sievers even told news outlets that she tried to bring the dog to a shelter, but he escaped and returned to the hotel. After months of their long distance love affair, Sievers decided she and Rubio were meant to be together and brought the dog back to Germany.

Mascotas Puerto Madero Adopciones Responsables, an animal rights group in Argentina reported that Rubio now lives with Siever’s family and two other dogs on a farm, where according to her Facebook page, he is having the time of his life.

Delivery Man Delivers His Own Daughter After Mom’s Quick Labor

Jonathan Collins might have just been taking his title a little too seriously when on the day his baby girl was born.

By day, Collins is a propane delivery man near his Fremont, New Hampshire home, working hard to support his family, but by night, he works the most important job he’ll ever have as dad to two little boys, and now a baby girl, named Maeve.

Last week, Maeve decided to come into the world a little quickly, telling mom Marie Collins that it was time without any notice at all. Much like this shocking story about a mom giving birth in a parking lot, the new parents couldn’t even make it to the hospital. That’s when Jonathan turned from propane delivery man into the man who would deliver his own daughter.

“I didn’t even have to push,” Marie told local station WMUR . “I literally laid down and she was in his arms.”

Jonathan called police to send an ambulance immediately. “The 911 operator was telling me what to do from there – look for the baby’s head – but I didn’t have to look for the baby’s head, because her entire body was in my arms,” he told WMUR.

The new dad then tied his daughter’s umbilical cord off, like the 911 operator told him to with a shoelace he found under his bed. Baby Maeve was born healthy at 5-pounds and 9-ounces and her father has taken some time off his day job to welcome his most precious delivery at all.

“I hope that’s all she puts daddy through,” Jonathan said. “Nothing else. No other surprises down the line!”

If you feel a little self-conscious rocking a bikini on the beach or by the pool, don’t worry, you’re definitely not alone.

However, we tend to think that that is all the more reason to face your fears and feel confident with your own body, because at the end of the day, no one is perfect and we could go on and on about what we wish we could change.

After having three kids, Rachel Hollis, who also owns her own business, The Chic Site, felt like the experience has really taken a toll on her body… and that it showed. But nothing could stop this gorgeous and fit mom from throwing back on her bikini and wearing it paired with the one thing that makes women beautiful: confidence.

[Facebook]
[Facebook]
“I have stretch marks, and I wear a bikini,” Hollis shared alongside a photo of herself in her teeny bikini on a trip to Cancún, Mexico with her family, including children ages 8, 6 and 2. “I have a belly that’s permanently flabby from carrying three giant babies, and I wear a bikini. My belly button is saggy … (which is something I didn’t even know was possible before!!) and I wear a bikini.”

[Facebook]
[Facebook]
The mom and businesswoman went on to say she wears her two-piece suit, “because I’m proud of this body and every mark on it,” she continued. “Those marks prove that I was blessed enough to carry my babies and that flabby tummy means I worked hard to lose what weight I could. Flaunt that body with pride!”

When it comes to patriotic ensembles, the Hollis's don't mess around. Happy 4th from our family to yours!!

A photo posted by Rachel Hollis (@msrachelhollis) on

The post has since gone very viral, with women of all ages, backgrounds, shapes, and sizes responding that she’s inspired them.

“It touches my heart that people are having this reaction to it,” Hollis told Today.com, explaining how many women have also posted their own bikini photos in support.

Orphaned Foal Finds Comfort in a Giant Teddy Bear

baby foal - Breeze

Breeze, a Dartmoor Hill pony was found in a state of shock and dehydration, just hours after he was born.

A farmer in England found the foal, and said his mother was nowhere to be found, and he’d “been seen trying to suckle from a number of mares.”

The farmer brought him to the Mare and Foal Sanctuary where he received extensive care and nutrition.

But, without his mother, Breeze was lonely.

“Although his carers here at the sanctuary worked around the clock to look after him, it’s not quite the same,” said Syra Bowden, the executive director at Mare and Foal. 

The sanctuary keeps donated stuffed toys on hand to comfort the orphaned foals, but their latest donation was spoken for by another foal. 

So staff members reached out to the community for a cuddly companion to keep Breeze company, and donations began pouring in.

A jumbo teddy bear named Buttons has become Breeze’s snuggle buddy through the nights, and the sanctuary staff say his condition appears to be improving.

“It’s been wonderful to see Breeze interacting with his new teddies and cuddling up to them when he goes to sleep. They are great company for him and provide comfort during the brief periods when his carers are not present,” Bowden said.

Zella the dog is well aware that it’s rude to point your finger at someone.

So, aware in fact, that she snarls at her owner every time he comes near pointing his finger.

In the video below, you will see Zella trying to nibble on her owners finger to make the pointing stop.

She even tries to push her owners hand out of the way, telling him, “Stop, please don’t do that.” Her disapproval is written all over her face.

Dogs, in particular become very attune to human gestures, and they can be very sensitive to them, even from an early age.

Watch how this beautiful dog gets very upset when her owner points his finger at her:

Has your dog ever reacted this way to you pointing at them?

Family Rescues What They Think Is A Puppy And Get A Big Surprise!

A Canadian family thought they were doing a good deed when they rescued a tiny, abandoned “puppy” near a lake, but they soon found out they had taken home much more than they had bargained for.

Ralph Shopland and his relatives of Whitehorse, Canada discovered the “pup” during an Easter weekend walk and turned to social media to find a wet nurse and learn what to do to save the sick baby.

‘I just defaulted to thinking it was a dog,’ Ralph Shopland, who came across the injured animal while on a walk, told CBC.

That’s when the Shoplands discovered the little boy wasn’t a puppy at all! “A Yukon conservation officer said at first the family wasn’t quite sure what it is,” GeoBeats News wrote on YouTube. “They reportedly speculated that it might be an otter or a wolverine.”

However, staff at the Yukon Wildlife Preserve have since taken the creature in and suspect he’s a fox, due to the telltale white tip on his tail. They believe his mother was likely killed by a nearby car.

“If you think you’ve found orphaned wildlife, in most cases mother is very close by and just waiting for you to leave,” Yukon conservation officer Dave Bakica said to Daily Mail. “We try to tell people, please do not pick up any orphaned wildlife.”

An Ohio cop went above and beyond the call of duty when he came upon a young boy in a desperate situation.

Officer Steve Dunham helped uncover a heartbreaking situation when he found a 7-year-old boy wandering by himself in downtown Franklin, according to local news station WLWT. The little boy was trying to peddle his teddy bear on the street for money to buy himself food.

[Fox 59]
“It broke my heart. He told me he was trying to sell his stuffed animal to get money for food because he hadn’t eaten in several days,” Dunham told WLWT.

The shaken officer brought the little boy to Subway for a meal before returning to the boy’s home where his parents had apparently been sleeping, unaware that their son was not home.

“(We) said a little prayer and ate dinner together,” Dunham said. The kindhearted officer gave him some much-needed attention and care before bringing home sandwiches to his brothers.

Police found the home of Michael, 35, and Tammi Bethel, 37, covered in garbage, rotten food, liquor bottles, and cat urine. “It was a really bad situation,” Dunham told InsideEdition.com.

They were charged with 10 counts of misdemeanor child endangerment and their sons, ages 7, 11, 12, 15, and 17, have been put into protective custody with family members and have no contact with the parents.

“(Police) treated them like their own kids, and that’s exactly what law enforcement does in situations like this. How would we want someone to treat our kids? Hopefully, these officers’ actions change these kids’ lives and maybe change the lives of the parents to become better parents,” said Franklin Police Chief Russ Whitman told WLWT.

Meet The Largest Cat In NYC Clocking In At An Alarming 28 Pounds And Four Feet Long

Clocking in at 28 pounds, Samson isn’t just New York City’s largest cat, he’s also the size of a full-grown Bobcat.

[Stephen Yang]
[Stephen Yang]
The four-year-old Maine coon stretches out to an incredible four feet in length and he may have just snatched the Guinness World Record of “Largest Cat,” after the 2013 passing of big cat Stewie who came in at 4.04 feet.

[Stephen Yang]
[Stephen Yang]

Samson’s owner, Jonathan Zurbel says Samon is not unhealthy or overweight, he is simply a healthy, strong, sturdy cat with large genes.

[Stephen Yang]
[Stephen Yang]
Maine Coons, after all, are the largest breed of felines. “He plays an excellent game of fetch, and he follows me from room to room and lays nearby, much like a dog,” Zurbel told the New York Post.

[Stephen Yang]
[Stephen Yang]
Unlike a dog, Samson does not travel outdoors on a leash. Instead, Zurbel wheels his lion-sized furball in a pet stroller around his Williamsburg, Brooklyn neighborhood. Naturally, the pair attracts quite a bit of attention.

[Stephen Yang]
[Stephen Yang]
Samson’s also been receiving much attention on social media, as Zurbel has created an Instagram account solely for his cat, which has over 22,000 followers (because if the internet loves one thing, it’s cats)—though no one will love Samson as much as his faithful human caretaker.

[Stephen Yang]
[Stephen Yang]
“[Samson] is very kind and sweet and a very well behaved cat,”Zurbel says of his feline Fabio. “He is a dream cat.”

[Stephen Yang]
[Stephen Yang]

It’s hard to believe this is even a cat! You’d think it’s a lion.

Slain Dog Owners Call For Euthanization Of Pit Bull

dog3n-3-web

A Staten Island man is calling for the euthanization of a Pit Bull after it mauled his Chihuahua earlier this year.

Eugene Charles, 77, is pleading for a Manhattan judge to allow the condemned dog, Ceaser, to be put down because he fears it will attack again.

Meanwhile, Ceaser’s owners are fighting to save the dog from euthanasia.

The attack happened on May 17, according to court papers which outline the viciousness of the attack of Charlie, the Chihuahua.

“I was walking my Chihuahua on North Railroad Avenue . . . near my home, when a brown pit bull dog . . . ran toward me and aggressively lunged at my Chihuahua,” Charles recounts in an affidavit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday, according to the New York Post.

[NY Post]
[NY Post]
“The pit bull grabbed my Chihuahua by the side with its mouth and dragged it along the sidewalk, refusing to let go,” he adds.

“I was also dragged along the sidewalk . . . In the process, the pit bull bit my arms and hands. My Chihuahua died on the sidewalk.”

At present, Ceaser is being held in a city shelter while owners Kristina and Douglas Panattieri fight to save the dog’s life. The filed a lawsuit that will prevent him from being euthanized for the attack.

Charles, whose home in the Grant City neighborhood is near the Panattieris’, says he dreads ever having to see the pit bull again.

“I am very afraid [the Panattieris’] pit bull . . . will escape their home again if it was to be returned to them, and attack me or other people or animals in our neighborhood, including children from the school located one block away,” he says.

An August 15 hearing is scheduled to determine Caesar’s fate. The Panattieris argue that the attak is not their fault because Charles instigated the attack. Charlie was not on a leash, according to the Pit Bull owners. While Charles denies that claim.

[NY Post]
[NY Post]
This is not the first time Ceaser has caused issues. The dog previously escaped from the yard and mauled a Maltese dog.

Ceaser also has health issues including a respiratory disease and pneumonia. The Panattieris’ attorney Richard Bruce Rosenthal, said Thursday that Caesar should be released from city custody because of this health issue.

He blames the city for Caesar’s condition and says his clients are considering filing a federal lawsuit claiming the pit bull has been “tortured.”

City lawyer Robert Martin III ­argues in a recent filing that Caesar’s case does not belong in state court but rather should be heard before an administrative law judge.

But Rosenthal has argued that the city’s administrative courts, which advise the city Health Department on which dogs should be put down, are governed by a “guilty unless proven innocent” standard.

[NY Post]

Do you have an opinion on this case? It’s a complicated one with many conflicting words and opinions so we’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. And please SHARE with friends, family, and fellow dog-owners.

Anyone who has ever owned a dog knows that these animals are not just pets, but are beloved members of the family, which is why one woman was only worried about her dog’s life seconds after narrowly escaping with her own life.

After recent heavy rainfall caused heavy flooding across Louisiana, one Baton Rouge woman and her dog found themselves trapped as floodwaters swept her car away and quickly started sinking it. Luckily, however, a group of strangers in a boat heard her screams just before the car was fully submerged.

David Phung and a group of men drove up to the sinking car and quickly tried to break a window so the woman could get out, but when their efforts failed, Phung knew they were running out of time and jumped in and managed to pull the woman out safely.

Phung thought his job was over, but the second the woman popped her head above the water she was screaming for them to help get her dog.

One of the other men tried to explain that the dog was most likely gone, but Phung bravely dives under the water to search for the dog, who was somewhere inside the fully sunken car. Seconds later, he miraculously comes back to the surface with the woman’s scared but unharmed dog.

This might be the cutest story you see all day.

An 11-year-old boy rescued his sister from disaster when he saved her life due to a tickle fight. Aaron East was tickling his sister, which caused her to scream and laugh and cry all at the same time.

[Go Fund Me]
[Go Fund Me]
In the midst of this laughter, Aaron noticed something weird at the back of 7-year-old Amy’s throat. Aaron immediately told Mom, Carly, who then brought Amy to the doctor. The little girl was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and underwent surgery to remove the growth.

[Mercury Press]
[Mercury Press]
Now, the family is rasing money so Amy can receive further treatment. She needs proton beam therapy, which she is planning to receive in America.

“My first thought when Aaron showed me Amy’s throat was that it was a tumor,” Mom said.

I’m absolutely so proud of Aaron. Because he found it, he thinks that he has done something wrong when in fact he has saved his little sister’s life. I really cannot thank him enough for what he has done, I am so proud.

Amy now describes her big brother as her hero and is so happy to have him.

Carly added, “I had a knot in my stomach when I was going to the hospital but had to keep it together and stay strong for the kids. I could just feel that something was wrong straightaway. My world just fell apart when they told me but Amy has been so strong and whatever she has had to face she has just bounced back.”

Amy now faces grueling chemo, but at least it has been discovered and doctors are doing something about it.

Meanwhile, Emma is feeling the helpless effects of being a bystander who can’t do anything. She’s watching, praying, and hoping her daughter will make it through this fight, while she urges other parents of the importance of making sure their children wear helmets while riding a skateboard.

“It’s the summer holidays and I know it’s not cool to wear a helmet,” she says.

We didn’t have one that fitted Georgia but I just didn’t think. She didn’t go down a massive hill. I wish as a mum that I had provided her with a helmet. I’m just praying the best possible outcome happens for her. I don’t know what quality of life she is going to have, if she makes it through the next few days, my beautiful, beautiful girl.”

Mom continues by saying, “it should have been a broken ankle or wrist or a few cuts and scrapes but not brain surgery and intensive care.”

Fairthorne is now urging parents to take as much caution as possible because this is a highly preventable tragedy. In an update of this story, Fairthorne said her daughter was “stable and comfortable”.

The first of Ms Fairthorne’s videos has received more than 1 million Facebook views to date. Take a look at the following video and you’ll see why.

San Antonio Man Leaves Baby In Hot Car For 9 Hours

Another baby has died after being left in a hot car making it the 27th heatstroke death that has happened this year.

A San Antonio father buckled his baby into the backseat of his car and was due to drop the child off at daycare before the start of his 6:15am shift at Walmart. The man arrived at his shift on time and then returned to the car nine hours later where he discovered his child still in the backseat. He had forgotten to  take his child to daycare.

According to Fox 4, witnesses say the man became hysterical when he returned to the car had to be transported to the hospital for inexplicable chest pains.

It’s easy to hear a situation like this one and judge the parent. After all, this could never happen to you, but the horrible truth is that it’s more common than is comfortable and is easier than you think. Forgotten Baby Syndrome is the name for this horrible affliction that has affected too much of the population.

Dr. David Diamond, a professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa, looked for the medical explanation of Forgotten Baby Syndrome.

He found the problem in most cases is the parts of the brain controlling new information and your “autopilot” mode are competing with each other. Unfortunately, autopilot occasionally wins.

The basal ganglia is the part of the brain that controls our habits, and it plays a large part in driving, according to Diamond. When you’re driving from Point A to Point B, you often do it without thinking, especially if it’s something like driving to work, Diamond told Parents Magazine. Often, you don’t even remember the trip because it’s so second nature.

This is where forgotten baby syndrome comes into play.

If dropping your child off at daycare is not par for the course, then when your brain goes into autopilot mode, it can easily forget to take care of that extra task. Add sleep deprivation and an early morning work shift, and the brain is even more likely to let the basal ganglia win.

Diamond gives the example of remembering to pick up milk on your way home from work. If your partner calls you and asks you to pick up milk, you agree and store the information for later. However, if you have ever driven home and forgotten the milk, you’ve experienced the basal ganglia beating the prefrontal cortex.

“When your partner says, ‘Where’s the milk?’ you feel flustered because you remember the conversation, but for some reason you came home instead,” Diamond said. “The basal ganglia actually suppress the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus from bringing that memory to your consciousness.”

But milk and a baby are two very different things, right?

Not according to diamond. When the brain is on autopilot mode, it doesn’t matter what the task at hand is. The basal ganglia blends all tasks into the same routine.

“As a parent I sympathize with that view,” Diamond said. “But as a scientist I can tell you that the basal ganglia can suppress all kinds of memories, even of things that are the most important to us.”

So what can be done to make sure you never experience the horror that is forgotten baby syndrome? Diamond suggests making it part of your routine to check the backseat, whether the child is there or not. Having this as part of the routine will ensure autopilot always factors your kids int any scenario.
