Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

It has long been a legitimate subject of discussion amongst tennis fans and commentators that there are certain tournaments whose existence on the ATP calendar feels less and less tenable. Considering the relative lack of quality and entertainment in evidence on the grass courts of Newport, Rhode Island–officially billed as the Hall of Fame Open–as well as its location and timing in the calendar, it may not come as much of a surprise that after almost half a century, the tour’s only grass event held outside of Europe will next year be newly positioned in the “former” category, alongside those in Estoril, Lyon, Atlanta, and Cordoba.

Ten’s a crowd. 

Coco Gauff revealed that she’s the only Team USA women’s tennis player living inside the Olympic Village in Paris after a chaotic living situation forced the rest of her teammates to flee to a hotel. 

Fresh off of leading her fellow Olympians as the flagbearer for Friday’s opening ceremony, Gauff gave a 7-second tour of the American women’s tennis players inside the $1.6 billion housing complex. 

“10 girls, two bathrooms. #olympicvillage,” the 20-year-old tennis phenom wrote in her TikTok video on Saturday.

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

My name is Kristina Synia I’m 23 years old and I’m Ukrainian, from Kherson. I am woman from Kherson who, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, remained in her native city, in her native country. From the first days of the war, Kherson was occupied for 9 months. During that time I was with my family: mother, father, and 76-year-old grandmother. I had the opportunity to leave the occupation to the free territory of Ukraine, but I could not leave my family (they categorically did not want to leave the city), my home. I could not imagine my life in another city or country. At the age of 22, I became acquainted with the war on February 24, 2022, survived a terrible 9 months of occupation in my hometown, and now I live for 19 months, as I call it, in the “second nightmare” – a period of daily shelling from the Russian occupiers, who are on the left bank Dnipro.

Opinion – Kristina Synia:  I am a Ukrainian who has survived Russian occupation and learned the kindness of Americans
