This is such a fantastic idea that the world could use more of lately.
A teacher in Northern California named Jessica Martin came up with the idea to launch a free hotline which had recordings of her kindergarten students giving encouraging words of life advice, uplifting messages, and even just the sound of kids laughing. They named it “Peptoc” which is great.
Jessica said she came up with the ideas after being inspired by how positive her students were during the pandemic these last few years. She thought it might inspire other people who need it, and turns out she was 100% right. Then they launched the hotline last month it already got over 700 calls in the first hour!
The results are in and Connecticut’s favorite dessert is… Ice Box Cake. Wait, what now?
That’s right, one of those wacky Google search articles came out about each state’s favorite dessert. Obviously Ice Cream, Jell-O, and cake were all big winners. But then I got down to Connecticut and saw that ours was “Ice Box Cake” which I had never heard of until today.
After doing some research I found out that it’s basically a layer cake which doesn’t require any baking. It’s just ingredients in a glass dish like wafer cookies, cream, condensed milk, fruit, or whatever else you might want in it. You can customize it any way you want as long as it has the cream-and-cookie base.
The Ice Box name comes from when they started making these back in the early 20th century before mechanical refrigeration was popular. People only had “Ice Boxes” to keep things cold. So that’s what they would use to make the cake cold.
Is what Raven did for Producer Jon’s birthday out of line!? 🤣 You be the judge. Let us know what you think of Raven’s “gift” on our Facebook page! Anna & Raven | Facebook
Dewey is sweet, but nervous, he has never shown aggression, his only behavior is when he gets pushed socially, he starts biting the leash which off puts a lot of people. So for Dewey, if everyone just ignore him, let him sniff them, and then I give his treats to the people who will interact with him, then he will warm up calmly and can take a few pets. Too many pets and the behavior will also trigger, baby voices (which we often do to be nice to a dog), can trigger him too.
He loves other dogs, very dog savvy, cats and small animals is not a match as he does have high prey drive. He enjoys walks and hikes, as well as loves to train and lots of toys.
He is a very beautiful and lovely dog, but this is the reason no one wishes to give him a chance, they just see his “bad” side.. Once he warms up, he is off the chart amazing.
We suspect lack of early socialization as well as possible manhandling in his younger days causing this initial anxiety he has.
This is a new year and Dewey is hoping someone is ready to welcome him and give him the love he so deserves. If you would like to meet Dewey, please complete our online application. Here is the link to the app: https://daws.org/daws-forms/
DAWS is also looking for anyone who is interested in fostering Dewey for some time! If you are interested in that, please do not hesitate to reach out and inquire about being Dewey’s foster family!
