Shelter dogs from Sao Paolo's slums were centre court for an exhibition tennis match at the brazil Open. Four Pups, Frida, Mel, Isabelle and Costela were trained to be ball Boys , they managed to prove themselves at retrieving stray shots but not so good at returning the tennis balls.
There were plenty of delays as Players, Coaches and god trainers on the side lines tried to coax the Dogs to five up the bright coloured balls. The match was made to raise awareness of rescue dogs nationwide who need people to adopt them. Competitors Spain's Roberto Carballes Baena and Portugal’s Gastao Elias, played along but the dogs were definitely the big winners of the game.

A Bikers Co - Pilot
Brandon Turnbow, a motorcyclist was riding down to meet up with his father when he witnessed a man beating up a white tan terrier mix on the side of the road, before throwing it in the air and driving off. Thankfully Brandon turned around and got to the dog when it was only a few feet away from walking into the traffic.
Brandon approached the scared and alone dog slowly before wrapping him up in his leather jacket, helping him feel secure. he started his motorcycle and let it run for a while so the dog could become accustomed to the noise and vibration. Once the traffic died down and the dog had clamed Brandon continued to drive to meet his father who happened to also be on a motorcycle.
Both of the men then rode the miles back to Turnbow's house but at a four way stop, he turned to check up on the dog and said he was sitting in the seat "like he has rode all his life" The dog now stays with Brandon and is named Mr. Davidson.

Postive Headline - Japanese Railway for 1
The story of Kami-Shirataki Station in northern Japan is a touching one. It was seen as remote and unusable after a very few number of passengers boarded and got off there. It has always been on Japans Railway list to go.
But despite being seen as unusable, two trains make a stop at this station each day. One at 7am to pick up and at 5pm to drop off a single student who without these trains would not be able to get to school.
The area around Kami-Shirataki Station have lost 20 rail lines in the past years and it will not be long until this line becomes another. The student will finish her education in March and the line that made sure she would get that education will close down for good.

Positive Headline - Young Boy Brings Food To Police In A 16 Hour Stand Off
Colt Vinson is 4 years old and comes from Yukon, Oklahoma and late last month he and his parents who were on their way to dinner, drove past a 16 hour stand off. Colt was worried that the officers were out in the cold would be hungry and so enlisted the help of his moither Jillian Vinson to get two chain establishments to donate food in the form of pizza and coffee to the officers.Colt and his family took the food and drink to the officers and they were touched by colts act of kindness.
"Your overwhelming generosity was appreciated, and made a stressful situation a little easier," the Oklahoma City Police Department wrote in a Facebook post addressing the 4-year-old and commending him on his thoughtful action.
According to the Facebook post that the departments had put up, the officers had to work longer hours due to the standoff. 4 year old Colt who is a pizza fan himself thought hat the cheesy stuff would be a great food tot give to the working officers. Vinson told news source Huffington Post that they thought to get the coffee with it, as they figured it would keep the officers awake and warm in the cold.
Once receiving the pizza and coffee the police officers returned the act by introducing Colt to the captains and chaplains and they also gave him a badge.
The gesture was a simple one, but the officers' outpouring of gratitude as well as their public show of appreciation on social media showed the 4-year-old that generosity doesn't go unnoticed.

News Headline - Adventures Of An Abandoned Cat.
Tigger is a 21 year old cat who was left abandoned at a local animal hospital in Baltimore.Adriene Buisch saw him, and fell in love with the feline almost instantly and vowed to give him the best life she could.
Adriene called the hospital and got the background on Tigger, finding out he was only left there 9 months ago, was very sweet and had a lot of life to him. She already owned a cat called Stuart with her partner Michael and were looking for a companion but thought a kitten wouldn't be the best fit but Tigger would.
The technician told the couple she was concerned about his kidneys because he drinks a lot of water. She said she would give them some time alone with Tigger so they could decide if they still wanted him. Of course they said yes and took him home to see Stuart.
A few months later, Tigger's health took another turn for the worst. While grooming him, they discovered a golf ball-sized tumour. The couple made a bucket list not knowing what came with kidney failure and the tumour. The day after Thanksgiving, Adriene and Michael took Tigger to Bethany Beach in Delaware.

The two cats instantly got along and bonded, it was almost like Stuart was telling Tigger what trouble to get into as is body was too old to do it. Unfortunately, the veterinarian's initial concerns were verified with blood work: Tigger was suffering from kidney failure. After Adriene started him on medicine and a prescription diet, Tigger's health began to improve. His fur grew back into a fluffy coat, put on healthy weight and had begun to drink a normal amount of water.

Apparently Tigger loved it and made friends along the way, he walked all along the beach to the car. Next, Adriene plans to take Tigger on a trip to visit family for Christmas

Thursday Thoughts - Confusing Emotions
Have you ever been in the position where you feel so many emotions you're not sure how you can function?
I've been in that position so many times and even I find it hard to deal with. I often get all of these feelings of both negative and positive kind, I often become so overwhelmed I don't speak or do much and then I get asked the questions of.
"are you okay?
"what's up?"
"do you want to talk?"
and I never quite know what to say or do because as much as I appreciate the support and the need to know I'm okay, I just simply can't explain how I feel when it comes to all of these overwhelming emotions.
I always hope for the days to be the happy emotion days and to eliminate the negative ones but we cannot always get what we wish for.
The thing is, emotions are a part of who we are, with days that are positive, come days that are the opposite and as much as we try to avoid those days, sometimes it's impossible to stop, maybe you don't know those emotions are taking you over on those days and you become vaguely confused as to why you feel so negative all of a sudden, but it is important that we let someone know how it happened and then "let it go like a fart in the wind" as some people might say.
We all strive for the good things in life and It's wonderful, use the confidence you build up to excel the good things, and never let a bad day or thought drag you down so you begin to lose your good days. And when every emotion plays a part in your day just sit down, turn on your favourite movie, drink your favourite beverage and speak or surround yourself with the best people you know and know that the confusion you feel with your emotions doesn't last for ever and some days it will happen probably more than once but you have the control over whether you let those emotional days take you over or whether you take control over them.
