Hey there, fellow obsessive dog owner. Ever wonder what your beloved pooch is thinking? Of course you do. If they could only tell us what’s on their minds, right?Well, in “Strays,” an aggressively raunchy, gleefully gross and only occasionally truly funny comedy voiced by Will Ferrell and Jamie Foxx, we find out. Turns out our canine friends are endlessly curious about why we collect their poop in little plastic bags. It must be for something really important, they surmise. But what? And why do we keep needing more?It’s actually one of the film’s cleverer jokes, and Foxx’s Boston terrier, Bug, has an opinion on the matter — but we won’t elaborate because it’s kinda gross. There’s a lot of gross, both kinda and mega, over this film’s 93-minute running time. Also a lot of poop jokes, and penis jokes, both canine and human. You get the picture. Although some of these pictures may stay in your mind for way longer than you’d like.“Strays,” directed by Josh Greenbaum with a script by Dan ...Chicago Sky trying to squeeze into playoffs after undergoing major changes

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Sky were on their way to their first WNBA championship two years ago and were in the playoffs this time last season after tying for the league’s best record.They’ve undergone major changes since then, with big stars exiting in free agency and their coach and general manager leaving last month.“Now, it’s time,” interim coach and general manager Emre Vatansever said. “It’s time to turn it around. And the team knows that.”The Sky are tied for eighth with the Los Angeles Sparks at 12-18 and are 5-9 since Vatansever took over. They’ve lost three straight after winning three in a row. With 10 games remaining, they have some work to do if they’re going to grab one of eight postseason spots and make the playoffs for the fifth year in a row.“There’s definitely been some ups and downs with the coaching change, injuries early in the season, people coming and going,” forward Morgan Bertsch said. “We definitely hit some adversi...49ers cornerback Ambry Thomas bounces back from disappointing second season

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Ambry Thomas’ first regular season in the NFL ended with an interception that sent the San Francisco 49ers to the playoffs. His second season ended with four straight healthy scratches as the once-promising cornerback struggled to find a role in the NFL after prematurely thinking he had arrived.“I just felt like mentally I wasn’t prepared, physically I wasn’t prepared,” Thomas said of his disappointing second season. “I kind of feel like it was given to me because I came off a playoff run my rookie year. But this year, anybody’s job is up for grabs. That’s how I look at it and that’s the mentality I took going into work.”Thomas has done just that so far in training camp and the exhibition opener, going from a player fighting for a roster spot to a potential starter on what is projected as one of the NFL’s top defenses.Thomas has been getting time at outside cornerback with the first-string defense this summer with Emmanuel Moseley moving ...Montgomery Co. police release videos of deadly police shooting of teenager suspected of multiple stabbings

LONGMONT, Colo. (KDVR) -- A village of tiny homes in Longmont will help veterans who are experiencing homelessness. The community, just off Mountain Brook Drive, is made possible by the organization Veterans Community Project."This was founded in 2016 by a group of combat vets," Jennifer Seybold, the executive director of VCP Longmont, said. "They came together in Kansas City to solve some of the community challenges they were seeing for their fellow brothers and sisters." What makes a tiny home a legal residence in Colorado? Since then, the project has expanded to other cities across the country, including Longmont."The success rate they were seeing with vets moving from the villages into permanent housing was 85%, which is more than double the national average," Seybold said.The village will be made up of 26 tiny homes. Single residency homes will be 240 square feet and family homes that can sleep up to seven people will be 340 square feet. Each home is designed specifically for...Pembroke Park Commissioner Geoffrey Jacobs created toxic work environment, independent probe finds

WASHINGON (AP) — Lawyers for Donald Trump asked a federal judge in Washington to push back until years after the election a trial in Washington on charges that the former president conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election.The suggested April 2026 date is a dramatic counter to the Justice Department’s recommendation last week that the trial should begin Jan. 2, 2024. The question is ultimately up to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is expected to set at least a tentative trial date during an Aug. 28 court hearing.In a filing, Trump’s lawyers say the years-long delay is necessary both because of the unprecedented nature of the case and the “massive” amount of information — 11.5 million pages — that they have to review. They said they would have to review about 100,000 pages per day in order to meet the Justice Department’s proposed trial date.“If we were to print and stack 11.5 million pages of documents, with no gap between pages, ...Latest news
