So That’s How Chocolate Labs Are Made

My daughter makes the absolute best cookies in the world. I know she follows the standard Toll House cookie recipe that's printed on the bag for all the world to see, and I know that the only thing she does differently is to add butterscotch chips.

It's all too common for schoolkids who don't look the same as the other kids to find themselves as a target for others who bully them or make fun of their appearance.

Soldiers coming home and surprising their families are must-watch videos - but here's a bit of a different one. This video is of a German Shepherd coming outside on a walk, only to see his soldier coming home to him after a deployment. It's a great (short) video of a pet reuniting with his owner. [...]
