Here’s an animal rescue story that you don’t hear about every day. We have a lot of deer in the northeast but you usually you see them while driving on The Merritt, 95, or in your backyard… but in the water?!
That’s what this 19-year-old Fairfield prep grad came across recently. Eryk Wenziak works for a Norwalk and Stamford charter boat service. He was on a fishing trip with some others when they came across a struggling deer in the water off the coast of Rye, New York. They drove the boat over to the animal and were able to bring it up on the boat, then back to safety in the woods on the mainland. Thankfully the deer seemed okay.
The whole rescue was caught on video. You watch it along with Eryk’s interview with News 12 here
You might have seen this one trending over the weekend after a McDonald’s manager in Canada did a TV interview.
The interview was about how he won an award for guiding his store through the COVID-19 pandemic and tips and tricks for saving money when ordering. Then it quickly turned to much more interesting convo like what is Grimace?! You know the big purple guy. Is he an animal? A character? A person? Food?
The manager, Brian Bates, said Grimace is actually a taste bud. A fairly large taste bud, but that’s what he is supposed to be. Weird!
Now, there have been conflicting theories over the years that Grimace is actually a big milkshake drop, but I’m going with the taste bud theory. He looks way more like a taste bud to me.

Summer wedding season is coming to a close and it’s time for all the beautiful fall weddings. It seems any wedding you go to there is always one very memorable moment that happens. This one seemed like it was extra special for this couple who got married last month in Detroit.
The woman has two daughters from a past relationship. During the ceremony the groom stopped everything and got down on one knee to ask the two girls if he could officially adopt them! How sweet is that?!
Now the video is starting to get shared and go viral…. get the tissues out might get a little dusty in here.
If you have a dog you’ve probably seen them twitch or react in their sleep which seems to prove that they dream. But do all animals actually have dreams?!
Studies that have been done on rats show that they dream about getting to food or running through mazes. Most mammals on the planet go through “REM sleep”, which is the cycle in which dreams occur for us humans. Therefore scientists think there’s a good chance they all dream because of that.
