Days of Our Lives Recap, June 9 Episode: John's Loved Ones Say Heartfelt Goodbye
In the June 9 episode of Days of Our Lives, friends and family came together to honor the late John Black in an emotional farewell. The episode focused on personal goodbyes, shared memories, and the strong bond John had with each of them. Steve and Kayla met at the Pub dressed in black, still processing John's death. Steve told Kayla he had packed up the Black Patch office, including John's belongings, and announced that he was closing the business for good. "I'm shutting down Black Patch, Sweetness," he said, explaining he couldn't continue without his partner. While Kayla was always concerned about the risks of Steve's job, she understood how much it meant to him. Steve considered life after retirement, maybe volunteering or learning to play guitar. But the hardest part for him was facing Marlena at the funeral. Roman joined them and reassured Steve that Marlena didn't blame him, and everyone was thankful for how he helped save Bo. Rachel struggles with saying goodbye At the DiMera mansion, Brady prepared Rachel for the funeral. She wore green hair clips that John had given her, wanting to feel close to her grandpa. Tearfully, she admitted she didn't want to go, fearing that her dream about his death had made it real. Brady comforted her, saying John came to her in that dream to say goodbye. Later at the service, she got emotional when looking at John's photos and mementos. She recalled going to Cubs' opening day with him, a memory Marlena called his perfect day. Marlena, Eric, and the family honor John Marlena arrived at the outdoor memorial, where framed photos and an urn were displayed. She embraced Shane, who called John the finest agent he'd ever worked with. Marlena thanked him for bringing John home. Eric joined Belle, Carrie, and Paul, admitting he was nervous about officiating. Carrie assured him they wanted no one else. They shared memories and toasted John with their coffees, something he would have done to lift everyone's spirits. Steve, Brady, Andrew, and Paul reminisced about John's work as a spy. Paul called being John's son the greatest gift he'd ever received. Belle admitted to Carrie she was unsure about her relationship with EJ, believing John wouldn't have approved. Brady confirmed her suspicions. Meanwhile, Julie shared warm words with Paulina but bristled when Cat arrived. She reminded Cat about her wild skydiving date with Chad and was relieved Jack and Jennifer weren't there to witness it. Later, Roman found Eric praying and reminded him how proud John would be of him.

Dog was near death when children found him — and became heroes. Meet Sweetness
A dying dog has a group of heroic children to thank for his life after he was spotted behind a building in Washington, D.C. Sweetness, a loving dog with soulful eyes, is on the road to recovery after being discovered by some children who were going through their own loss, the Brandywine Valley SPCA said in a Feb. 12 Facebook post. 'Alone, starving, and too weak to stand, Sweetness was near death when a group of kids found him lying on the ground behind their apartment building,' the shelter said. 'The kids had recently lost their family dog and wanted to help, so they carried Sweetness to their home. When their mother arrived home from work, she quickly recognized how serious Sweetness' condition was and called us for help.' Sweetness was able to make his way to the Veterinary Emergency Group thanks to the responding animal control officer who was called to the scene. 'Sweetness was emaciated, dehydrated, and suffering from severe and painful sores on both of his front legs,' the shelter said. 'It's not clear how long he's been on his own, but Sweetness is now stable and being fostered by a dedicated BVSPCA staff member, who can provide him with continued medical care and a loving home to rest while he heals.' Sweetness is not available for adoption and is 'just beginning' his road to recovery, the shelter noted. 'We are grateful to the quick-thinking and caring kids and their mom, who rescued Sweetness and called for help, as well as our friends at the Veterinary Emergency Group for providing critical emergency care,' the shelter said. For more information on Sweetness and other animals in need, visit the shelter's website.
