\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u27a2 A bulldog allegedly stolen in Brampton, Ontario, has now been adopted by the woman who unknowingly bought the puppy from the suspects. Stephanie Barrantes\u00a0was messaged by the illegitimate seller on\u00a0Snapchat and sent two e-transfers totaling $1,000 for the dog. She never met the seller and agreed to pick-up the puppy at a park at a predetermined time and location . She wasn’t aware the puppy had been stolen and picked it up without meeting the seller\u00a0because of Covid. With the help of police, she was able to connect with the puppy’s owner and has now become the rightful owner of Loki at no extra cost.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u27a2 An 86-year-old woman in Rhode Island wanted to do something to cheer people up.\u00a0 So she\u00a0used<\/a>\u00a0her stimulus money from the U.S. government to create a zoo for stuffed animals outside her house, and it’s a hit with kids.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u27a2 It\u2019s a dirty job, but Mike Rowe\u2019s gotta do it (again).

The streaming service registered the name for its satirical show starring Steve Carrell, in Jan. 2019, while the trademark for the youngest branch of the military was founded in Dec. 2019.

But on his way out, he somehow got his foot STUCK in a window . . . ended up dangling outside the building upside down . . . and had to call the fire department to come rescue him.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After they got him down, they called the cops.\u00a0 And they found drugs on him.<\/p>\n It turned out he was looking for stuff to steal, so he could sell it and pay off a debt with his drug dealer.

The first round of the playoffs is set to begin on August 17th, with the Finals penciled in for September 30th.<\/p>\n There are still plenty of\u00a0questions, like:\u00a0 How many extra roster spots will each team get, and would a player be replaced if he tests positive for COVID-19?<\/p>\n Not to mention what would happen if there was an outbreak among one of the teams, or the league itself.<\/p>\n There’s still some doubt that they’ll be able to pull this off.\u00a0 More than a dozen players have already\u00a0tested positive<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0. . . and Florida, where the NBA will host their “bubble,” has\u00a0emerged<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0as a major COVID-19 hotspot over the past week.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n No winning ticket was sold for the $15 million jackpot in\u00a0Friday night\u2019s Lotto Max draw.<\/p>\n That means the jackpot for the next draw on June 30 will grow to approximately $20 million.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n No winning ticket was sold for the $5-million jackpot in Saturday night’s Lotto 649 draw.<\/p>\n However, the guaranteed $1-million prize went to a lottery player in Ontario.<\/p>\n The jackpot for the next Lotto 649 draw on July 1 will be approximately $6 million.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There Wasn’t Much Social Distancing at Chase Rice’s or Chris Janson’s Concerts on Saturday<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n CHASE RICE<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0CHRIS JANSON<\/strong>\u00a0did shows in different parts of the country on Saturday . . . and people are angry at both of them for, well, acting as if there’s no pandemic.<\/p>\n They each posted videos that didn’t show much, if any, social distancing.\u00a0 Chase’s show was at Tennessee’s Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary.\u00a0 It used to be a maximum-security prison, but now it’s a concert venue.<\/p>\n There were around 1,000 people, and the video on his Instagram Story shows the audience jammed shoulder-to-shoulder and singing along at the top of their lungs.\u00a0 It’s hard to find anyone wearing a mask.\u00a0 He took the clip down yesterday.<\/p>\n Chris was part of the Highway 30 Music\u00a0Fest in Idaho and his video showed him playing to a “sea of fans.”\u00a0 He also deleted his clip yesterday.<\/p>\n\n
