Tell Me Something Good: A Very Positive Update On Buddy The Beefalo

One of the biggest stories here in Connecticut lately has been the search for Buddy The Beefalo. To catch you up real quick, basically last month there was a beefalo (cross between a bison and domestic cattle) who escaped from a slaughterhouse near Plymouth, CT. The police in the area named him “Buddy The Beefalo” and he’s been on the run every since.

There have been videos and photos people have posted on social media, but they have yet to track down Buddy who’s still roaming the woods of Connecticut.

The new update to this story though is how police officers in Plymouth have setup a GoFundMe campaign to raise enough money to buy the animal from the owner once they find it and let him life the rest of his life peacefully on an animal sanctuary.

They needed about $6,000 and as of the posting of this blog it seems they have surpassed it already! Which is great news.

Now they just need to find Buddy.

Tell Me Something Good: Shelton Boy Invents Holiday Product That’s Getting National Attention

Another story you can add to your “Why didn’t I think of that?!” list.

12-year-old Ayann Naqvi from Shelton had a great idea for a product after years of being annoyed that his ornaments always kept falling of their family Christmas tree. He calls it an ornament anchor! It started out as a school project. Then he started to submit it to school fairs and different fairs all over. This past January all his hard work seemed to pay off when QVC contacted him asking about placing an order. Fast forward to last week… and QVC actually featured his product on one of their shows!

I may have to get a few of this this holiday season. I’m ALWAYS picking up ornaments around our tree.

See the full story and what they look like HERE.
