Video: Adopted Greyhound Has Not Forgotten Plushie That Made Her Feel ‘Safe' Once
Greyhound still holds onto bunny plushie that made her feel 'secure'
A user named @misspoppy.thegrey recently took to their Instagram to post a heartwarming reel of their dog, Miss Poppy. The profile created by the owner, Emma Graf, is known for posting memorable moments of the adopted canine who lives like a queen. In the video, the greyhound cuddling her pink plushie bunny toy. The clip showcases how the toy was no less than a guardian angel for the pup.
It begins with the parent telling the story of how they adopted the ex-racer dog used for breeding. However, the pooch used to cry every night. As a result, the owner gave her a pink bunny toy to calm her down. The trick worked, and the pet grew fond of the toy and slept with it for the first few months.
While she used her other teddies for playing, the bunny was also used during nap times. As time passed, the dog didn't need the toy as much as earlier. However, she never forgot her old friend who helped her feel safe and secure. This reel captures an unbreakable bond between a dog and her toy. These soft toys provided a much-needed warmth to these innocent creatures without saying anything.
At the time of writing, this video has garnered over 77k likes and more than 3k shares. Users also shared their reactions on the post, with one commenting, 'God Bless you for this awesome rescue and kindness you gave to this pup.' Another one wrote, 'Warms my heart.' A third user said, 'Such a Sweet baby and her stuffie!'

The ‘You Look Happier' Trend Is Giving Us Space To Be Messy
Doing the 'right' thing. The wellness thing. Or even the self-betterment thing, is so impressed upon us these days, we can feel guilty when we make the 'wrong' choice for our overall wellbeing. Things like: Texting an ex, getting drunk instead of sitting with tough emotions, flaking on the gym to bed rot, foregoing journaling yet another night. We all do them. It's fun. It's enlivening. It isn't something you want to make a regular occurrence, but being messy is part and parcel of being human. It's time we stopped berating ourselves for it. On Instagram and TikTok we're seeing this play out with playful takes on the 'you look happier when' trend, in which people film themselves smiling with this caption overlaid. Some people have gone about the trend in earnest, finishing the sentence with 'you go to bed on time and cut screen time '. But others have been more tongue in cheek. 'You look happier when you spend a weekend with your ex and don't tell your friends', being a clear example of this. It's unsurprising this is happening midsummer when attitudes typically lean towards prioritising fun over productivity, and when shows like Lena Dunham's Too Much have us hooked — a show about being messy, imperfect, and growing through poor choices. Being messy harnesses growth so we're leaning into it. Is it harmless to embrace our messy selves? Pamela Roberts, therapist at Priory, says there are two types of happiness and that both are important. 'Hedonic happiness is the kind of happiness you get from pleasure and enjoyment,' Roberts says. It's the feeling you get from a delicious meal, a funny movie, or a spontaneous night out with friends. 'This type of happiness is often short-lived and focuses on maximising pleasure and minimising pain. It's about feeling good in the moment. Eudaimonic happiness, on the other hand, is a deeper and more lasting form of happiness. It comes from living a life of purpose, meaning, and personal growth. This is the happiness you get from achieving a long-term goal, helping others, or developing skills. It's not always about feeling good in the moment, it might even require sacrifice or hard work.' Roberts says that allowing yourself to make the 'messy' choice does have some psychological benefits, to a degree. At its best, it can be a 'form of mindfulness', because you're fully present in the moment. It can also be a way to relieve stress and break free from the pressure of always doing the "right" thing. However, doing too much of this can make us pain-adverse, resulting in an inability to tolerate any kind of emotional pain, like boredom, sadness, and guilt. There is a psychological benefit to being flexible and being able to tune into what you need at a particular moment, is the view of psychotherapist Liz Kelly, author of This Book Is Cheaper Than Therapy. That might not be the 'healthiest' choice all of the time. 'It's essential to discern whether you are engaging in a behavior intentionally, because you genuinely want to, or if you are participating in a pattern of numbing out or distraction from difficult feelings,' she says. It might be helpful to think about whether an action is going to lead to more stress or complications down the road. Making sure a messy night doesn't snowball into a messy year Roberts says it's crucial to differentiate between occasional "messiness" and a pattern of self-sabotage. 'The former can be a healthy release, while the latter can be a sign of deeper issues. So, is this mindful messiness and would it be as satisfying? When making a frivolous, messy choice, like seeing an ex, it's important to be mindful and intentional about the actions taken to avoid this snowballing into a bigger issue.' Make sure you show yourself compassion, too — no one is perfect all of the time. She recommends: setting boundaries, reflecting on your motivations, and how you feel afterwards. But also, to have fun. 'A life of constant discipline and self-control can lead to burnout,' she says. 'Treat frivolity as a single occasion, not as a new way of life. The occasional embrace of frivolity can be a healthy expression of an adventurous spirit, if it's not a means of self-sabotage. The image of walking a tightrope is a good analogy here — it's about balancing fun and spontaneity with a clear understanding of your boundaries and goals.'

Taylor Swift Unveils ‘The Life of a Showgirl' Cover, Sabrina Carpenter Feature
Taylor Swift is spilling all the details on her new album, The Life of a Showgirl. As Wednesday's episode of New Heights came out on YouTube, the singer shared the album cover, track list, and the release date for the record. It's out Oct. 3. 'And, baby, that's show business for you. New album The Life of a Showgirl. Out October 3,' she wrote on her social media accounts. She also shared that she co-produced the album with Max Martin and Shellback. More from Rolling Stone Taylor Swift Reveals 'The Life of a Showgirl' Album Cover & Swifties Are Celebrating With Fan-Inspired Merch Sabrina Carpenter Is Understandably 'Freaking Out' About Her Feature on Taylor Swift's Album Taylor Swift Was Also Obsessed With Bad Bunny's Acting in 'Happy Gilmore 2' The album cover, designed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, features Swift floating underwater with the title displayed in an orange, glittery font. 'My day ends in a bathtub, not usually in a bedazzled dress… I wanted to glamorize all the aspects of how the tour felt,' she said on the podcast. 'I wanted to have an offstage moment as the main album cover because the album isn't really about what happened onstage, but what happened offstage.' She also unveiled the track list; it includes a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter on the title track, which closes the album. 'This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant. It just comes from like the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life,' she said on the New Heights podcast. 'And so that effervescence has come through on this record. And like, as you said, bangers.' Swift explained that the goal of the album was 'melodies that were so infectious that you're almost angry at it' and also lyrics that 'are as vivid, crisp, focused, and completely intentional.' The LP includes 12 tracks, including songs titled 'Actually Romantic,' 'Father Figure,' 'Elizabeth Taylor,' 'Cancelled!,' and 'Honey.' Swift also confirmed that only 12 songs would be dropping unlike her last album, which had two parts. 'With Tortured Poets Department, I was like, 'Here's a data dump of everything I thought and felt in two or three years. Here's 31 songs.' This is 12. There's not a 13th, there's not other ones coming,' Swift said on the podcast. 'This is the record I've been wanting to make for a very long time … Every single song is on this album for hundreds of reasons, you know, and you couldn't take one out, and it'd be the same album. You couldn't add one. It's just right.' She added: 'I tend to love to write lots and lots of music, so it's a temptation to release lots of music, but oftentimes, like I wanted to do an album that was so focused on quality and on the theme and everything fitting together like a perfect puzzle, that these 12 songs for my 12th album, I feel like we achieved that, and I'm really happy about that.' Swift announced the album title in a teaser for the New Heights podcast, hosted by her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason. In the clip, Swift sits next to her boyfriend and podcast host Travis Kelce as she opens up a mint green case with her initials on it in orange lettering. 'I wanted to show you something … This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl.' In the previously posted clip, the album cover was blurred out. On Monday night, a countdown appeared on her website, with the ticker scheduled to expire Tuesday at 12:12 a.m. ET. When the time reached, the site temporarily crashed before unveiling an orange glitter vinyl variant of the record, a cassette, and a CD version of the LP. The Life of a Showgirl is the 12th studio album from Swift, who last released an album in 2024, The Tortured Poets Department. Earlier this year, Swift purchased the master recordings for her first six albums and gained control of her music catalog. 'All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me,' the singer wrote in a letter on her website. The news came as she rereleased Taylor's Version albums of Fearless, Red, Speak Now, and 1989.

5 takeaways from Taylor Swift's unprecedented podcast interview
For two hours on Wednesday night, the world saw Taylor Swift in a way that she hasn't been seen in years — maybe ever. When she started out as a teenage country star in the early 2000s, Swift would upload MySpace videos that chronicled her adventures, post photos and comments on social media, or hop on YouTube live streams to chat with fans. But as she evolved into a global pop superstar, she slowly scaled back on revealing details about her life. In the past five years, she has only sat for a few interviews, mostly focused on her music.
