Strange Dog Turns Out To Be An Acquaintance

Have you ever heard a knock at your door without seeing anyone knocking and it felt like you are hallucinating? Well something similar happened to me on Sunday morning. My daughter and I had watched a movie overnight about a ghost. So, in the morning we heard a knock on the door.

Of course, I was surprised because I wasn’t expecting any visitor and Danny the mail delivery man does not come on Sunday. Well, I was in the kitchen trying to make some breakfast so I told Gwen, my daughter to get the door. She pushed a stool towards the door and checked the eyehole. 

She ran straight back to me, looking like she had seen a real ghost, having goose pimples all over her face. Her first few words didn’t make any sense to me at all. What does “Daddy I warned you” have to do with who was at the door. I was like, Gwen didn’t you get the door? She kept on repeating the same sentence as she ran to her room. So, I ran after her.

Gwen, what did you warn me about? My daughter checked the eyehole but didn’t see anything while she was still hearing what sounded like knocks. So, she was definite that the ghost in the movie had visited us. Her friend at school told her that if you watch ghost movies at night, the ghost will visit you in the morning and indeed, she warned me. At that moment, nobody could convince her otherwise. No one could tell her that what Meg told wasn’t correct. 

The funniest part was that she screamed and tried to hold me back when I said I was going to see the ghost myself. I had to spend 5 minutes to convince her that not every ghost is evil and ghosts only hurt evil people. By the time I finished, I was sure the “ghost” would have gone. So, I went back to the kitchen and as our visitor new I was nearby, he barked. Could it be a dog that had been knocking?

I went straight to open the door without even checking the eyehole and – lo and behold, I was looking at the cutest pup I had ever seen. I was stunned and I stood there for some seconds and he barked once again to tell say won’t you let me in dummy? 

Even before I did anything I heard Gwen say waaaaooooh! She was also stunned. Her next question was “daddy can we keep him?” You will definitely love the pup. Immediately I opened the door wider, he ran in went near one of the chairs and sat beside and the look in his eyes was like “oh sorry I scared you buddy”. 

My daughter asked me the same question again and I said no! Keeping him will make us thieves. We have to find its owner. By the time we got outside with the dog, we saw a little who should be around 8 years, shedding tears and throwing tantrums in front of a much older boy who I presumed to be her big brother. On sighting them, the pup gave an adorable bark and jumped out of my hand. 

The joy in the girl’s eyes said it all. While cuddling her pet, you would hear her say you naughty boy, where did you go? I have been looking all over for you. At this juncture, I cut in. I said your cute dog just decided to pay us an impromptu visit. He came to knock at my door and decided to spend a few minutes with us. She couldn’t thank me enough. 

I later found out that the girl, her brother, and their mother came to visit one of my neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Carlton and they had all spent some minutes inside the house before they realized Timmy had other plans. He deliberately didn’t go in with them. Now here is the bomb. Timmy knew where he was going all along. 

When my wife was around, the girl and her mum came to see my Mr. and Mrs. Carlton but they were not around so my wife invited them inside our apartment so that they could wait for the Carltons. So, Timmy actually came to say hello to her.

A Surprise Upgrade: How a Mistake Gave an Edmond Couple a New Roof

Imagine coming home to find out that your roof has been replaced by mistake! That’s exactly what happened to Deborah and Scott Senner from Edmond. “We were like ‘Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh,'” Deborah said. “We didn’t order a roof.”

The couple was actually five hours away when their 5-year-old roof was being removed. “I think it was about 80 percent off when they realized the mistake,” Deborah said. That’s when they got a surprising phone call from Doug Gray, the owner of Graco Roofing and Construction.

Gray admitted to the mistake, saying, “Had to be humble. We made a mistake and here’s what we can do to fix it.” Graco Roofing has been around for 30 years and had never made a mistake like this before. Gray even sent the Senners pictures of the progress, showing a huge dumpster, trucks, and a chute for throwing shingles.

The Senners could have been upset, but they weren’t. “They were very gracious, very sweet,” Gray said. “They understood – a little shocked obviously.” Scott found humor in the situation, saying, “It was pretty funny. You don’t expect something like that.”

The mix-up happened because of a small error in the address given to the installation team. “There’s protocols we put in place for years to avoid that,” Gray said. “Several of those were missed.” Despite the mistake, the Senners praised Graco Roofing. “We’re a total advocate for him. We think they did a phenomenal job,” they said. “Now we say we recommend Graco.”

In the end, the mistake turned out to be a blessing. The new roof was an upgrade, more resistant to hail, and it even lowered the couple’s homeowners insurance. “They did the right thing big time,” says Scott. Sometimes, a little mistake can lead to a big improvement!

In a heartwarming turn of events, a 16-year-old Shih Tzu named Bear embarked on an unexpected adventure that left his owner, Jenny Hazard, both frantic and amused. Bear, known for his love of exploration, went missing in January, prompting a search that ended in an unlikely place – a bar in Milwaukee, WI.

Jenny Hazard was initially distraught when Bear disappeared, especially considering his age and heart condition. “When he was younger, he was a runner,” she shared. “He can’t go far in snow.” Despite her concerns, she turned to social media for help, hoping to locate her beloved pet.

It wasn’t long before she received a surprising text – Bear had been found at Finks, a local tavern located a mile from their home. “I’m like, ‘What?'” Hazard exclaimed upon hearing the news. A photo sent to her phone showed Bear happily mingling with patrons at the bar, seemingly enjoying his newfound popularity.

It turned out that a group of barhoppers had spotted Bear and decided to bring him along for the evening. “They took good care of him, and I guess he was pretty popular,” Hazard said, relieved that Bear was safe and sound.

Reflecting on Bear’s escapade, Hazard humorously remarked, “Old man breaks free — goes to bar,” highlighting the unexpected adventure of her adventurous pup. Bear’s night out serves as a reminder of the unexpected places and friends our furry companions can find, even in the bustling city of Milwaukee.

A Fun New Drinking Game in the UK

Have you ever wanted to buy a stranger a drink, just for fun? In the UK, there’s a new game that’s all about spreading joy and drinks in pubs!

This fun game started because of a cool feature in the Wetherspoons app. Wetherspoons is Britain’s biggest pub chain with over 800 taverns. The app lets you order drinks online for any table in these pubs. You just need to manually enter the location instead of using location services. That’s how you can surprise someone with a pint, wine, or even a shot!

So, what are the rules? It’s simple and fun! People who want free drinks post a photo of themselves, the name of the Wetherspoons pub they’re in, their table number, and a nice message on a Facebook page called “Wetherspoons The Game!” There are 22 volunteer moderators who make sure everything is fair and polite. They check the players’ IDs and pick a few dozen lucky winners each night. These winners get their picture and message posted, and then the drinks start coming!

Politeness is a big deal in this game. If anyone uses rude language, they’re out. The moderators also keep an eye on how many drinks are ordered for one table. If it gets too much, especially with tequila, they step in and stop the orders.

Chris Illman, a 42-year-old man, created this game six years ago. He was going through tough times, battling cancer and dealing with his partner leaving him. What started as a fun game among friends to buy each other drinks grew into something huge. Now, he manages Facebook groups with over half a million members, all joining in the fun!

What’s amazing is how people love participating. Many enjoy sitting at home, ordering drinks for people out having a good time. According to Illman, it’s not about getting something in return. It’s all about the joy of giving and making someone’s night a little more special.

This game shows how a small act of kindness, like sending a stranger a drink, can bring a lot of happiness. It’s not just about the free drinks; it’s about the surprise and joy that comes with it. So next time you’re in the UK and at a Wetherspoons pub, who knows, you might just be the lucky one getting a surprise pint from a new friend! 🍻

The Tale of the Welsh Tidy Mouse: A Shed’s Unexpected Helper

In the quaint shed of a retired postal worker named Rodney Holbrook, an unusual and endearing story has unfolded. Rodney, curious about the mysteriously tidy state of his shed each morning, set up a night vision camera to unravel the mystery. To his surprise, the culprit turned out to be none other than a diligent mouse, earning the affectionate nickname of the “Welsh Tidy Mouse.” This industrious rodent has been performing its tidying routine for a remarkable two months.

Rodney first noticed the tidying phenomenon when items on his workbench were consistently organized each morning. Intrigued, he decided to investigate further by employing a night vision camera. The footage revealed a tiny mouse diligently picking up clothes pegs, corks, nuts, and bolts, and neatly placing them in designated spots. It seemed that this mouse had a penchant for order and cleanliness, turning Rodney’s shed into a well-kept space.

The Welsh Tidy Mouse’s routine involves not only tidying up but also repurposing some of Rodney’s belongings. Initially, Rodney observed that food meant for birds was mysteriously ending up in old shoes stored in the shed. It appears the mouse has found a clever way to use objects to hide away nuts, creating a win-win situation for both the mouse and Rodney.

Rodney, embracing the unexpected help, has altered his habits to accommodate the diligent mouse. Items left out of their designated places are effortlessly restored to order by the morning, thanks to the mouse’s industrious efforts. Rodney humorously suggests that the mouse might even tidy away his wife if given the chance.

Seeing the mouse’s knack for organization, Rodney has turned the shed into a playful experiment. He adds different items to the workspace, challenging the mouse to lift and rearrange them. The shed has become a shared space where a retired postal worker and a tiny, tidy mouse coexist in harmony.
