Owner Leaves Dog Alone With Relaxing Music—Unprepared for What Petcam Shows
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A viral video of an American XL bully named Ragnar has warmed the hearts of viewers on TikTok—thanks to his hilariously chill reaction to some relaxing tunes. The video, which was posted to Instagram by the pet's owners on June 4, shows Ragnar fully sprawled out on his dog bed, front legs extended and head buried contently on the cushion, exuding total peace. An overlaid text on the video added more context: "Left my dog home alone with relaxing music… This is what I saw when I checked the camera… I think it worked." The caption read: "10/10 would recommend dog relaxing music!" There is some science behind the lighthearted post, because music—particularly classical music—is proven to have a soothing effect on dogs. Research by the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and the University of Glasgow found that classical music can reduce stress levels in canines a significant amount. In the 2015 study, researchers observed dogs in a shelter and found a notable decrease in stress behaviors, such as barking and pacing, when classical music was played around them. The American Kennel Club also recommends soft classical or reggae music for dogs who suffer from separation anxiety, noting that the rhythm and tempo help promote a sense of stability and security. Since it was posted, the video from @ragnarthebullyxl has racked up over 400,000 likes and more than 1.4 million views on the platform. The comments section is flooded with users expressing laughter and amazement at the canine's tranquil state, with one commenter writing, "Dude's sleeping like he pays the bills." "'Pit bulls are mean' literally pit bulls:" Another viewer said. "Now I feel better for leaving my dog relaxing music," another added. "OMG I do this for my dog everyday when I'm out and she is always dead asleep," a third viewer shared. "Him sleeping like that while [you are] at work paying for that TV to stay on so he can listen to his music," another said. "This is literally what my dog does if not he's watching Bluey and people get made I leave him alone trust me he's living his life," another added. Newsweek reached out to @ragnarthebullyxl for more information via email. An American bully sleeps soundly on the floor. An American bully sleeps soundly on the floor.

Chicago's Boom2Funny talks inspiration behind comedy, teaching kids on content creation
Chicago native Johnta Richmond, also known online as Boom2Funny, has over one million social media followers and is a TikTok sensation. The West Side turned South Sider credits his real-life experience for the success of his videos. "It kinda came from a real-life ex who's always popping up everywhere I go after we broke up, and then she knew everything about me, she knew my whole family, she knew everything, so I'm like I'm going to put in my kinda portrayal," he said. He said he didn't think that the postings would explode the way it has. "The very first time I did it, I did not, but the numbers went up. I got a million in one day, and I was like 'oh, okay,' and then I did one at a graduation with a boy who never met me before, he didn't know what was going on, walked up and di the video, and that video did 14 million," he said. Richmond is not just making content but also teaching kids how to make content safely through a program called Social Impact. "It's here to teach the kids how to use the internet in a safe way. We have so many kids posting with each other and getting into it, fights and killing, so I decided to come in and teach them content creation," he said. He sees the art of teaching content creation as a benefit to young people in the city, as "the internet is the new TV." "Chicago is so creative," he said. I teach from first grade all the way to 12th grade, so I get so many personalities." As for his videos, being accurate is key. "If you get a chance, check out any of the videos. I try to make it as accurate as possible, relative. Everybody has some kind of boom in them," he said. His videos can be found on YouTube and TikTok.

Are grandma baby showers a sweet new tradition—or just too much?
It starts with something sweet: a friend or coworker becomes a first-time grandmother. Maybe someone brings cupcakes to the office. Maybe there's a card and a small gift. But somewhere along the way, a new trend was born—one that's got parents talking. They're called grandmother showers, or 'grandma baby showers', and they're exactly what they sound like: a celebration for the soon-to-be grandma in honor of the baby on the way. But depending on who you ask, they're either a lovely show of support—or a line that shouldn't be crossed. DeeDee Moore, who shares grandparenting insights on her TikTok and website More Than Grand, recently sparked conversation with her take on this growing trend. 'There are definitely two opinions about grandmother showers,' says Moore, 'Opinion one: grandmother showers are a lovely way to welcome a friend or coworker into their new role. Opinion two: granny showers are inappropriate and tacky gift grabs.' So, which is it? 'Well, like anything, so much of it depends on the circumstances,' Moore explains. 'If a group of coworkers gets together and has a lunch where they celebrate someone becoming a new grandmother—giving her a card and a cake and a book about grandparenting or some things to keep at her house for the baby—it's a lovely way to welcome somebody to this new stage of life.' 'But,' she continues, 'when the grandmother's shower rivals the shower for the actual parents, that's where it crosses a line.' Moore reminds us that baby showers were traditionally created to help young families with the essentials. 'It's harder to justify a shower for a grandmother who can likely afford most of the things she needs and probably won't need that many things to begin with,' she says. 'Keep in mind too, to make sure that the parents have all the things they need before you start outfitting grandmother's house,' she adds. Her take? Consider context. Small celebrations? Lovely. Full-blown registry events? Probably not. Related: Moms are divided over a new party trend called 'grandma showers' TikTok commenters were deeply divided: @Jennifer Soderstrom: 'I think I would ask the new mothers how they feel about them. I'm a grandma of three, and I would rather my friends celebrate my daughters/DIL.' @Caitlin: 'My MIL's friends threw her a small one & she was very happy, sent pics, got gifts for the baby. All good with me. It's weird to plan ur own in my opinion.' @Lucy Seay: 'My MIL MADE her coworkers throw a baby shower for her…a full-on shower for HER. Not my baby or me.' @channing'swife: 'Nah, granny showers are tacky. The granny already had her showers when she was pregnant with her kids, and this is just taking away from the new parents' spotlight.' Just like any modern parenting moment, people have thoughts—and lots of them. So, what's the middle ground? If you're looking to honor an excited new grandmother, Moore suggests a casual gathering with friends or coworkers—emphasis on light and low-pressure. Or consider a practical twist: a meal-prep party to support the new parents. You can toast grandma's new chapter while stocking the freezer for postpartum meals. It's heartfelt, helpful, and still centered on the growing family. Becoming a grandmother is a milestone—and it's OK to honor that. But let's keep the focus where it's most needed: the new parents who are entering uncharted territory, often with fewer resources and more pressure than ever. A card, a lunch, even a heartfelt book on grandparenting? Beautiful. A gift registry and Pinterest-worthy event? Maybe skip it. As Moore puts it, 'So what do you think: Are grandmother showers a good trend or one that we should say goodbye to?' Related: 13 useful baby products to leave at grandma's house
