German Shorthaired Pointer Who's 'Sick of Being Outside' Pulls Off Most Epic Break-In
Dogs generally like to be outside and they'll bark and carry on until you let them out. Then as soon as you're all comfy on the couch, they start all over again so you have to get up and let them back in! My Goldendoodle frequently leaves his toys out in the yard and then stares at them through the backdoor window, whining, until I let him back out to pick them up!
Well, let me introduce you to Ranger, a , who was recently exiled to the backyard by his mom. The video doesn't explain why he was in exile. However, based on experience with four-legged friends, my guess would be that he'd been playing the in-and-out game with his humans, and they grew tired of his antics!
At some point, Ranger decided that this banishment to the backyard would be short-lived. In a quick show of his athleticism, this spirited pup took matters into his own paws and used the open window over the kitchen sink to gain reentry!
Luckily, his mom caught the whole dramatic event on video and, honestly, it's quite impressive! He jumps up quickly and gets a good grip on the window frame with his paws. Then, just when you think he's going to barrel through the window and knock down everything in his path, he doesn't!He teeters on the edge of the windowsill for a moment, trying to figure out his next move before he gently puts one paw down on the counter. After barely knocking anything out of place, he proceeds with his other three paws.
He then carefully steps past the items on the countertop and winds up standing on the glass stovetop! Unfortunately, that's when Mom puts a stop to his fun and says, 'RANGER, get down!' He gives her a very nonchalant glance, decides to listen, and hops down off his perch. Then, with his tail wagging he trots past his mom as if to say, 'Ha-Ha Mom, your plan didn't work!'

John Lennon's ‘smutty' love letter to future wife revealed
A 'smutty' love letter by John Lennon to his future wife – including his complaints about Paul McCartney's snoring – has emerged 63 years on. The Beatle, then aged just 21, wrote to art student Cynthia Powell telling her how much he missed her while the band were in the middle of their Hamburg stint in April 1962. The letter, written over five nights of concerts in the city, touched on various themes, including the sudden death of former bandmate Stuart Sutcliffe the week earlier. The note also featured an amusing moan from Lennon about McCartney's 'snoring' in the bunk bed above his. In the letter, signed by Lennon and written between April 19-24 1962, he wrote: 'Paul's leaping about on my head (he's in a bunk on top of me and he's snoring) ... Shurrup Mcarntey [sic]!' The musician then confides in Powell that he had avoided Astrid Kirchherr, Sutcliffe's German fiancee, because 'I would be so awkward'. He then shot down Cynthia's plan to move in with Dot Rhone, McCartney's girlfriend, as it would have caused a lack of privacy when he and Powell were in bed together. The letter said: 'I love love love you and I'm missing you like mad ... I wish I was on the way to your flat with the Sunday papers and chocies [sic] and a throbber.' 'I wonder why all the newspapers wrote about Stu … I haven't seen Astrid since the day we arrived. I've thought of going to see her but I would be so awkward.' It went on: 'I don't like the idea of Dot moving in permanently with you cause we would never be alone really ... imagine having her there all the time when we were in bed – and imagine Paul coming all the time. '...I love you, please wait for me and don't be sad and work hard, be a clever little Cyn Powell.' John and Cynthia, who was a year older than him, had been in a relationship for four years, having met at Liverpool College of Art. They married in August 1962 and had their son Julian in April 1963, weeks after 'Beatlemania' exploded with the release of the band's chart-topping first album Please Please Me. The pair divorced in 1968 and Powell later claimed Lennon had physically abused her throughout their relationship, including slapping her face in a fit of jealousy. The handwritten letter, described as one of the finest ever written by the singer, was sold by Powell to a Swedish collector in 1991 after she fell on hard times and needed to raise money. It then changed hands to the Swedish vendor in 1993. It will be on sale at Christie's auction with a £30,000 to £40,000 estimate. Thomas Venning, the head of books and manuscripts at Christie's, said: 'Reading the letter you get the sense of two young people in love, with no idea of what was going to happen to them, which makes it really compelling and historical. 'They are very unfiltered and you can hear him using his own voice. 'There are some smutty and funny bits and you sense his personality on the page, unlike his later letters which are more guarded and preachy. 'It provides an early insight into the Beatles from their time in Hamburg which was so important to their development as a band.' The sale takes place on July 9.

German court rules puzzle maker can use Da Vinci image
A German court ruled Wednesday that toymaker Ravensburger can use Leonardo da Vinci's drawing "Vitruvian Man" for its puzzles, in a setback for the Italian state and a Venetian gallery. The Stuttgart Higher Regional Court dismissed a claim filed by Italy's Culture Ministry and the Gallerie dell'Accademia di Venezia and upheld an earlier ruling that favoured Ravensburger. The Italian plaintiffs had demanded a licensing agreement for the commercial use of one of the Renaissance master's most famous drawings, despite the fact that he died more than 500 years ago, placing his works in the public domain under international copyright law. The plaintiffs argued that a domestic law aimed at protecting Italy's cultural heritage meant they had the authority to demand agreements with those who profit from culturally significant artworks, even if they are based abroad. After failed negotiations, the Italians obtained a preliminary injunction from a court in Venice that barred Ravensburger from selling the puzzle worldwide. Ravensburger then challenged the injunction in Germany. Last year, a lower regional court in Stuttgart sided with Ravensburger, ruling that Italy's cultural protection laws could only be enforced in that country. Rejecting the appeal, the Stuttgart court on Wednesday found that "German courts are neither bound by the prior decision of the Italian court nor prevented from making their own ruling on the matter". The judgement is not yet final. The Italian plaintiffs can ask the German Federal Court of Justice for permission to appeal the ruling. pe-vbw/fz/yad

Influential German 'nail artist' Günther Uecker dies aged 95
Günther Uecker, one of the most iconic and influential figures in post-war German art, has died at the age of 95. He was known around the world for his hypnotic nail reliefs - extraordinary textured surfaces created by hammering thousands of carpenter's nails into everyday objects like chairs, pianos, tree trunks, sewing machines, and canvases. His family confirmed he died at the university hospital in his hometown of Düsseldorf in western Germany on Tuesday night. They did not give a cause of death. Related V&A opens its vault: Public invited inside museum's massive new London storehouse Temporality, trees, and togetherness: Inside Marina Tabassum's 2025 Serpentine Pavilion Born in 1930 in the small Baltic village of Wendorf, the son of a farmer, Uecker rose to international fame from humble beginnings. After relocating to Düsseldorf in the 1950s, he studied and later taught at the city's revered art academy. He soon became part of the ZERO group, a radical post-war collective focused on light, movement, and purity in art. In 1956, inspired by Russian revolutionary poet Vladimir Mayakovsky's belief that 'poetry is made with a hammer,' Uecker began hammering nails into canvases, chairs, and spinning disks. His early kinetic pieces created clattering soundscapes and optical effects that blurred the line between painting, sculpture, and performance. Uecker once rode a camel through the hallowed halls of the Düsseldorf Academy in a surreal 1978 art intervention, and in 1968, alongside fellow artist Gerhard Richter, famously "occupied" the Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, their protest culminating in a kiss in front of the press. But beneath the playfulness ran a deep moral current. Uecker traveled the world with messages of peace, often creating works in countries under dictatorship or censorship. After the Chernobyl disaster, he painted using ash. He exhibited banners bearing messages of human rights in Beijing, and in a haunting series, painted words of violence -Verletzungswörter - in languages from around the globe. Despite international fame (his works now command over €1 million and appear at top galleries and fairs), Uecker retained an anti-establishment spirit. 'Don't join the establishment,' he told Apollo magazine in a late interview. In recent years, renewed global interest in the ZERO group, including a major retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in 2014, brought his work to new audiences.
