Golden Retriever Crashes Mom's Peaceful Bath With Exactly Zero Regrets

Golden Retriever Crashes Mom's Peaceful Bath With Exactly Zero Regrets originally appeared on Parade Pets. Dogs either love or despise taking a bath, with little room in between. But for those who enjoy splashing around and getting wet, a tub filled with water and one of their favorite humans is an invitation they simply can't resist. That was certainly the case for Murphy, the Golden Retriever. Though his mom may have been aiming for a peaceful solo soak, Murphy wasn't about to let that happen. So, in the most polite and adorable way possible, he invited himself in to join her. Watch the hilarious invasion in this video from August 2: As much as I love my dogs, neither is a big fan of bath time, and after seeing this, I'm thinking that might be for the best. But at least Murphy was exceptionally polite about his entering the tub to join Mom, Belle (@belleandmurphy), this Golden Retriever took a few sips of bathwater and then gracefully hopped in. His face beamed with pride, and he looked so happy to share the space with her. While we can't know exactly what dogs are thinking, Murphy's joyful expression made it clear he had only the best intentions and heaps of love to offer. Dogs' Affectionate Behavior and Bath Time According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), many dogs view their people as part of their 'pack' and feel compelled to stay close during personal moments, such as bath time. Some simply enjoy the water, others associate it with bonding, and a few just want to be as close to their people as possible. Then again, Murphy might just like the tub as you can see in this funny video from August 4: Fans were thoroughly amused. Viewer @tayyely responded, 'I love that you just accepted it LOL.' While @otisgoldenboy shared, 'Everything is for them always.' And @josic_ll added, 'His smile is everything!' It truly is. Whether they're crashing our baths or just claiming our space, dogs have a knack for making everything a little brighter, even if they don't quite grasp the concept of alone time. 🐶SIGN UP to get 'pawsitivity' delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends🐾🐾 Golden Retriever Crashes Mom's Peaceful Bath With Exactly Zero Regrets first appeared on Parade Pets on Aug 5, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Aug 5, 2025, where it first appeared.

Hulk Hogan laid to rest at Florida church where he was baptized in private ceremony

A private funeral service was held on Tuesday evening for Hulk Hogan, where dozens were gathered at Indian Rocks Church in Florida to celebrate the life of the wrestling icon. Hogan died last month at 71 years old after suffering a heart attack on July 24 at his home in Clearwater, according to the Pinella County medical examiner. He had a history of atrial fibrillation, a heart condition that causes irregular and rapid heart rate. Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was baptized at Indian Rocks Church in 2023, and he was laid to rest there surrounded by family, friends and loved ones. WWE icons like Paul "Triple H" Levesque and WWE former co-CEO Stephanie McMahon were among those who attended the service. Other celebrities, including Kid Rock, Bam Margera and more were seen. The service had a strong police presence, as Largo officers and church security were patrolling the area as well as K-9 dogs. Signs reading, "Private Event," were at the gates. For those that couldn't attend, like President Donald Trump, they paid their respects over social media. "They are having the 'Hulkster's' funeral today, and I thought everybody would enjoy seeing this picture," Trump wrote on Truth Social with a picture of him and Hogan arm wrestling. Gov. Ron DeSantis also ordered flags be flown at half-staff last Friday, declaring it "Hulk Hogan Day in Florida." "He was a true Floridian through and through," DeSantis wrote in a statement about the declaration. Hogan's body will be cremated. Sky Daily Hogan shared in an emotional social media post that her husband had been "dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them." "I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time," Daily Hogan wrote. Hogan's larger-than-life personality was seen in and out of the wrestling ring. He was the main draw of the first-ever WrestleMania in 1985 and was a cornerstone of the entertainment giant that continues to flourish today. He was also a star on the silver screen as well as reality TV, with "Hogan Knows Best" following his life on VH1, while also starring in multiple movies and shows. "I am so grateful I knew the real version of him," Brooke Bollea Oleksy, Hogan's daughter, wrote on social media. "Not just the one the world viewed through a carefully curated lens." Hogan's son, Nick, added in his own social post: "Thank you for being the best dad in the world and thank you for being my best friend. I love you so much Big Dog and I will miss you forever."

Hulk Hogan's Daughter Fuels Conspiracy Theories Over Wrestling Icon's Death

The death of wrestling legend has taken a shocking turn, with his daughter and longtime friend Bubba the Love Sponge igniting wild conspiracy theories about what really happened. Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, died on July 24 at age 71 after suffering a cardiac arrest. The report also cited his history of leukemia and atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm. But despite officials ruling his passing as natural, Hulk Hogan's inner circle isn't buying it. Bubba's Explosive Allegations About Hulk Hogan's Death Radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge, a controversial figure and close associate of Hogan, published a bombshell article questioning why it was decided that the wrestling icon would be cremated so quickly and why no autopsy was performed. Bubba alleged that Hogan could have been injected with something through his dialysis port while he slept, potentially inducing a fatal heart attack. He also pointed to Hogan's estimated $40–50 million estate and highlighted that his widow, Sky Daily, has alleged ties to Scientology. Even more startling, Bubba questioned why no one knew Hogan was about to begin dialysis, citing a Tampa Bay Times report that the wrestler collapsed at his Clearwater Beach home just after returning from surgery. According to that report, paramedics told Morton Plant Hospital staff that Hogan was waiting to start dialysis when he suddenly went into distress. Medics attempted to revive him with drugs to lower potassium, a sign of kidney failure, and even administered Narcan, typically used to reverse opioid overdoses. Authorities made clear there was no evidence of an overdose. Brooke Hogan Backs Him Up Fueling the fire, Hogan's daughter Brooke appeared to endorse Bubba's suspicions. When an Instagram post shared the headline 'Quick cremation without autopsy raises questions about Hulk Hogan's death,' Brooke responded simply, 'Exactly.' Her remark has only amplified speculation online, with fans torn between shock, suspicion, and disbelief. At the time of his passing, the Clearwater Police Department confirmed the emergency response in a statement. 'Clearwater Fire Department and Clearwater Police Department personnel responded to a medical call at 9:51 a.m. today in the 1000 block of Eldorado Avenue on Clearwater Beach," they said. "The nature of the call was for a cardiac arrest. A 71-year-old resident, Terry Bollea, also known as Hulk Hogan, was treated by Clearwater Fire & Rescue crews before being taken by Sunstar to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.' Conflicting Reports Sparked Speculation Before His Death The conspiracy theories also came after weeks of confusing and conflicting updates about Hogan's health, leaving fans uncertain about what to believe. Just last month, reports surfaced claiming Hogan was 'on his deathbed' following complications from a recent neck surgery. His representatives quickly pushed back, telling E! News there was 'no reason to panic,' in an attempt to reassure the public. Hogan's wife, Sky Daily, also spoke out to shut down alarming rumors, publicly denying claims that the wrestling legend was in a coma and insisting that his heart was 'strong.' In a bittersweet twist, Hogan's longtime friend and former on-screen manager Jimmy Hart even posted an upbeat update just two days before his death, telling fans that the Hall of Famer was doing well and aiming to quiet speculation. Officials Say No Foul Play Despite the swirl of conspiracies, authorities insist Hogan's death was natural. The Pinellas County Medical Examiner said no autopsy was necessary because 'there were no signs of foul play or suspicious activity.' Clearwater Police Major Nate Burnside reiterated the same to reporters. At the time of his passing, a heartfelt message was posted on Hogan's official Instagram page, reading: 'It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that we confirm we have lost a legend. Our beloved Terry Bollea, known worldwide as Hulk Hogan, passed away today surrounded by his loved ones. At this time of grief, we ask that everyone please respect the privacy of his family and friends. May we all take solace in the wonderful memories he left behind for the millions of fans worldwide whose lives he touched for more than four decades. He will be missed, but never forgotten.' Hulk Hogan Set To Be Cremated As Conspiracy Theories Over His Death Continue To Swirl According to his death certificate, Hogan will be cremated at Bay Area Crematory in Clearwater. A specific date has not yet been revealed, but the medical examiner's office confirmed they received a cremation request on July 31. As the wrestling world continues to mourn, questions about Hogan's sudden passing, and the theories swirling around it, show no signs of slowing down.
