Golden Retriever Brilliantly MacGyver's His Stuffie Away from Sleeping Sibling
The old phrase "let sleeping dogs lie" may be onto something. Anyone who's ever had a baby anything, whether human or pet, knows the importance of a solid nap to circumvent any attitude problems later on. Never wake a sleeping baby — those are the rules!
As it turns out, it's true even with dogs. As the middle child, Golden Retriever Rocco's role in the family is a big one, while the newcomer puppy is still learning the ropes. Sometimes that means navigating a sticky situation, like nabbing his stuffie out from under her, but no worries — he knows what he's doing!
Joining a family with an already established dog hierarchy means little Bernese Mountain Dog, Binky, has to abide by the unspoken understanding that Rocco and older brother Fred have in place. Food, beds, Mom's attention, and even stuffies are included!
Rocco does a stellar job pawing his favorite toy from the sleeping pup, only barely waking her, and that's quite the feat. Just like a fun game of Jenga, these are trademark moves many moms like me know and have perfected over the years, as if we're all skilled in ninja-ing.
To wake the sleeping baby is basically cursing the rest of the day, so no thank you.The new addition to the (now) trio is cute as can be. Binky may still have a lot of learning to do, which is why those naps are important, but for now, Rocco is slowly warming up to the idea of a sister. He made her work for his acceptance at first, but earning it is part of the hierarchy and a rite of passage.
For joining the family only recently, I'd say Binky and Rocco are making a lot of progress! Sure, Fred isn't quite on board just yet, but as the eldest and a senior, he has the right to remain reserved.
Being a big brother to such an adorable little sis is a huge job for Rocco, but he's doing such a great job. Just knowing he'd rather gently MacGyver his toy from her grasp instead of waking her proves how much he cares. Besides, if the baby doesn't get a good nap, she'll be way too cranky to handle, and no one wants that!

Caitlyn Jenner Seen for the First Time Since Sudden Death of Manager
Caitlyn Jenner Seen for the First Time Since Sudden Death of Manager originally appeared on Parade. Caitlyn Jenner has been seen for the first time since the tragic death of her friend and manager, Sophia Hutchins. On July 4, TMZ uploaded photos of Jenner that were taken on July 3 — just one day after Hutchins died in an ATV accident. Jenner was dressed casually on a coffee run, sporting a blue T-shirt, a pair of shorts and accessorizing with a visor and keeping her eyes covered under a pair of sunglasses. She waved to nearby paparazzi while taking a sip of her coffee. The day prior to Jenner's outing was absolutely tragic. According to TMZ, Hutchins, 29, was riding on an ATV not too far from Jenner's home when she collided with another car's bumper. The impact sent the ATV "350 feet down into a ravine." Jenner, 75, has yet to speak out publicly about Hutchins' death. However, many fans have taken to Instagram to leave condolences on Jenner's pinned post. "I'm so deeply sorry for the heartbreaking loss of Sophia. Though we don't know each other, please know that my heart is with you. I'm sending you love, strength, and comfort during this unimaginable time," one person wrote. "I am so sorry for your loss.. I wish you are not alone and you have people to help you and be there for you," someone else said. "I'm so sorry for your loss of Sophia I know she was a very dear friend of yours this is very tragic news," a third comment read. Hutchins and Jenner first met in 2015 and became incredibly close. In 2017, Hutchins became Jenner's manager, taking over the role from Jenner's ex-wife, Kris rumors that Caitlyn and Hutchins were romantically involved, they maintained that their relationship was platonic. "I wouldn't describe it as a romantic relationship. I would describe our relationship as we're partners. We're business partners … We have so much in common," Hutchins said on the "Hidden Truths" podcast, according to the Standard. "We see the world so similarly and we both are such a good match for each other because we challenge each other. She challenges me in so many ways, has allowed me to grow in so many ways, and I hope I challenge her to grow … It's a great match, a great partnership," Hutchins added.
