Mercedes began the 2024 Formula 1 season on the back foot. But things have certainly changed following that slow start. Upgrades the team began rolling out at the Miami Grand Prix have paid dividends in recent weeks. The first sign of a breakthrough came in Montreal when George Russell captured pole position for the Canadian Grand Prix. While Russell could not hold on for a win he did turn his starting position into a podium, as his third-place finish marked the team’s first Grand Prix podium of the year.

Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

Just look at that beautiful pup! Lima is an adorable 5-month-old Husky who is smart, friendly, and a total sweetheart. It’s hard to believe this sweet girl was brought to FAAS after being abandoned in a grocery store parking lot, tied to a pole with an electrical cord used as a leash. She was just a few months old.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home. Winks was truly given a second chance at life, and now all he needs is a family to call his own.

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

One of these six spectacular cats may be your next pet
