In The News:

- Presidents Day

- Sniffed by a horse. When Kelly Ann Alexander realized her horse wouldn’t stop sniffing the right side of her head, she was worried. The 43-year-old woman in England had been having seizures for a few months and had been diagnosed with epilepsy but something didn’t seem right. Seeing her beloved horse’s reaction, she insisted on more tests, which revealed a low-grade brain tumor.

- Parent dating. Keeping the romantic spark alive after having children is undoubtedly a challenge, but a new survey of parents finds that the romance is very dead in an alarmingly high number of households. According to the research (by Groupon) the average parent hasn’t been on a romantic date in three years.

- Toys for Christmas. Christmas is months away, but the toy industry is already looking at . More than 7,000 toy, game and puzzle vendors will vie for the attention of more than 17,000 buyers at the annual Toy Fair starting Sunday in New York.

- Random Acts of Kindness Day

- Rose delivery stunt. When your source of income is making YouTube videos you’re constantly under pressure to create bigger and better stunts. For Valentine’s Day, YouTuber MrBeast had two large truck loads of roses delivered to his house, which he then hauled inside to give to his girlfriend. It took about 9 hours to unload and place the roses before his girlfriend came over.

- Coyote helps cops. Police in Ontario, Canada, were looking for a criminal suspect, and followed footprints in the snow — two sets: one human, one animal. Both sets of prints ended at a tree, so naturally the officers looked up and found their suspect, a 28-year-old man 30 feet above the ground. The unnamed man was grateful to be “rescued”: he said he climbed the tree to escape a “do-gooder” coyote, and was beginning to suffer from hypothermia.

- Jogging Memory. Americans managed to spend $264.6 billion on physical activity last year. The U.S. spent $37 billion on fitness classes, $58 billion on sports and other recreation, $117 billion on footwear and apparel, and much more on supplies ($37.5 billion), mindfulness ($10 billion) and tech ($8.1 billion). The U.S. spends more on physical activity each year than any other country.

- As photos of dogs wearing face masks pop up across social media, some are starting to ask if their beloved pet dog could catch the novel coronavirus. According to multiple veterinary and health organizations, there’s no need for pet owners to panic about COVID-19, as there’s no sign yet that man’s best friend is at risk of catching the virus. The World Health Organization (WHO) has put up a “myth buster” post on their website regarding domestic animals and the coronavirus, which confirmed that there have been no cases of the virus identified in pets.
