Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. 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.”

When Peacock launched in 2020, the NBC Universal streaming service was basically nothing but a delivery system for The Office. Over the last four years, though, it’s built a library of original programming, other classic TV shows and even a few movies. Admittedly, its film selection is lighter than some other platforms, even while drawing from the weighty catalogues of Universal Pictures and Focus Features. But there’s still plenty to enjoy, from mainstream blockbusters to modern horror classics to foreign action flicks to arthouse dramas. If you just can’t watch Jim and Pam fall in love again, try distracting yourself with one of these 20 awesome selections.

O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.
