Mischievous dog lucky to be alive after eating nine socks

(CBS News) Who's to say that a dog's life has to be a dog's life when it comes to food? Certainly not the folks our Rita Braver has been talking with: If you think artisanal food is just for people, you haven't met Margaret Bishop and her five dogs. "They're my family, I mean they're, you know, some of the most important relationships I have in my life," Bishop said. So she lovingly serves them gourmet meals made from flash-frozen raw food. She buys the product directly from her neighbors, Norman and Carole King of Marshall, Va., who sell it right from their front porch freezer. Meat is the main ingredient, but there are vegetables, too. "We use kale, bok choy, collard greens, all kinds of good stuff," said Carole King. "So a health nut's dream!" said Braver. "It is! Eat up!" The Kings use only locally grown animals and produce, flash frozen to their specifications at a nearby plant. They and other advocates of the growing raw food movement believe the diet … [Read more...] about Why gourmet food is going to the dogs

But, asks Nick Bryant, is the country's luck running out? Australia feels right now more like an Anxious Country. Gone is the economic swagger that came from its almost 30-year run without plunging into recession. Absent is the kind of hope and expectation that election campaigns are supposed to engender. Instead, it is possible to detect a widespread sense of nervousness that the second quarter of the 21st Century could be more joyless for Australians than the first. Australians face a cost of living crisis, exacerbated by the first hike in interest rates since November 2010. Almost 40% of homeowners are thought to be experiencing mortgage stress. Property prices, which serve almost as a gauge of national … [Read more...] about How Australia became the anxious country

Earlier this month, Walt Disney World began reopening, following almost four months of closure due to the pandemic. I flew to Orlando to experience the magic. The week I arrived, Florida had registered the highest single-day case count of any state thus far. In Orlando’s airport, I felt a vague sense that Floridians considered such statistics a source of secret pride, as if they had set a record for fattest alligator or ugliest serial killer or most senior citizens in a golf cart. The airport where I had started my day, in Connecticut, had required masks, and everyone wore them. Here in Florida, some passengers went totally unmasked, but most wore masks in a defiant fashion, either slung under their chin or with their nostrils gaping out over the top, sucking and spewing potentially viral particles with every breath. A friend who lives a couple of hours away in St. Petersburg likens this latter style to “wearing a condom that covers only the shaft.” Disney World is in Florida only … [Read more...] about I Went to Disney World

Anastasia Gulej makes no attempt to veil her hatred for Vladimir Putin: the Russian leader, she says, is “evil” and no different to Stalin and Hitler . It’s a bold statement, but she is one of the few people left alive in the world personally qualified to make such a judgement. The 96-year-old is currently living as a refugee in Germany having fled her home in Kyiv shortly after Putin ordered his forces to invade Ukraine in late February. After sheltering in her cellar for a few days, she was eventually persuaded by friends to ignore her “heart and legs” and leave. Packing her life into two suitcases, she moved with her cat to Lviv and later to Bad Kosen, where she now lives with her daughter. But she has already survived much worse. As a young child she lived through the Holodomor, Stalin’s man-made famine that claimed the lives of millions of Ukrainians. A few years later the dictator’s Great Terror swept through the Soviet Union, a wave of repression and purges that … [Read more...] about ‘Putin as bad as Hitler and Stalin’ says Holocaust survivor who has suffered under all three

MIKA left his fellow Eurovision co-hosts mortified when he accidentally made a very rude hand gesture. The Big Girl singer , 38, hosted the event with Alessandro Cattelan and Laura Pausini, who at one point in the epic broadcast tried to teach him Italian hand gestures. The pair demonstrated the signals for 'eat' and 'what do you mean?', and warned him to be careful as they could easily be misinterpreted for ruder words. Unfortunately for poor Mika, that's exactly what happened when he tried to imitate their moves during the BBC transmission . Alessandro said: "You must be careful using your hands, because it takes just a slight gesture to completely change the meaning." Mika then began to move his right hand before both of his fellow presenters yelled out 'No!' and quickly stopped him.
