Good Afternoon! Sometimes the most heartwarming moments come in the coldest conditions. This week, two Kansas linemen braved subzero wind chills to rescue a mother bobcat and her kitten frozen to a power pole during Sunday's brutal winter storm.

Ready to see what resilience—and a little creativity—can accomplish? Let's dive in!

Teens Save Couple From New Year's Fire

Three Maine teens driving home in the early hours of New Year's Day discovered a burning farmhouse and rushed inside to save a sleeping couple. See photos here.

Cousins Robert and Kaleb Weymouth, 16 and 14, and friend Colby Simmons, 16, found the husband asleep on a couch dangerously close to advancing flames that had spread from the barn.

The teens woke the sleeping couple, helped them gather essential belongings, including medication, and dodged falling debris and propane blasts to get the couple to safety.

Goats Graze to Guard Against Wildfires

A herd of over 300 goats in Boulder County, Colorado, is helping prevent wildfires in a delightfully natural way.

Led by Goat Bros owner Jordan Sarazen, the goats graze on dry vegetation, turning potential fire fuel into harmless manure. Watch the goats in action.

This eco-friendly team has gained popularity since the devastating Marshall Fire, with locals embracing the goats' charming role in protecting their community. Look at the goats on Instagram.

Linemen Free Frozen Bobcats from Power Pole

Two Kansas linemen braved subzero wind chills to rescue a mother bobcat and her kitten that were frozen to a power pole during Sunday's severe winter storm. See photos here.

Dominic Urban and Eric Hartwell spent two hours carefully freeing the animals in 16-degree weather, crafting a makeshift snare from pipe and rope to safely lower them to the ground.

The mother bobcat ran off after being freed, and her kitten followed shortly after in the same direction, reuniting the pair in an unexpected happy ending to their power restoration duties.

Fake, processed dog food is so 2024

Welcome to 2025, where your dog deserves real, wholesome, healthy food.

Meet The Pets Table—a personalized pet food service by HelloFresh that offers human-grade, fresh, and minimally processed air-dried recipes. And just so you know, that's not what you get with dry food.

Traditional kibble is often highly processed at blazing temperatures, depleting its nutritional value and flavor. What's lost during processing is sometimes replaced with cheap fillers and synthetics to make the food look and smell more appetizing.

You won't find any artificial flavors, colors, or added fillers in The Pets Table food. Each recipe is formulated with an on-staff Board Certified Vet Nutritionist® and made to retain the food's natural goodness, ultimately supporting your dog's immunity and gut health and promoting an active lifestyle. No nasties, just endless zoomies.
