In the clip shared from the TikTok account @haventhelabrador, a Labrador was seen looking calm, with its head resting on its paws. As a message overlaid on it read “let’s go get a bath,” the dog showed its teeth, seemingly attempting to bite a human hand reaching towards it. According to a survey by the American Pet Products Association, in 2020, at-home grooming was reported to be the most prevalent form (41 percent), while 30 percent reported taking dogs to a full-service salon, as cited in a February 2022 study published in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Veterinary Medicine....

I’ll manage next season - Wenger After OL’s 4-1 win over AZ in the Europa League on Thursday, during which he scored twice, Lacazette discussed the former Manchester United winger, who signed with the Parc OL side in January but did not feature in the game due to being cup tied.

So much so that ESPNLosAngeles.com felt it was appropiate to speak with Lakers players to gauge their feeling on the banners. What appears to be a somewhat simple request proved divisive, as Nick Youn and Steve Nash viewed the action through completely different lenses. "He can do that?" Young said, according to ESPNLosAngeles. "For real? That's disrespectful. We got to talk to Doc. He can't have that. We got to do something about that....

The Portuguese international had been under the scanner this season for his worst start to a league season with the Whites but managed to cut himself some slack by single-handedly driving his side past a distorted Rojiblancos side. As for the hosts, it was a disappointing final derby at the Vicente Calderon as Simeone’s men were totally outclassed and outperformed. Let’s discuss some of the major talking points from the game....

Deportivo were left facing an uphill task for the second half in injury time at the end of the first half as Moroccan midfielder Faycal Fajr was sent off for a stupid second booking following a crazy tackle on Nicolas Gaitan. Atletico had dominated the game and did so even more so following the red card.

Amidst this, there have been some glowing performances from some of the more elegant players Barcelona has in their ranks. We take a look at 5 such players who have produced some sparkling performances in the ongoing season. #1 Lionel Messi The charismatic Argentine has been the core of Barcelona forward line. Messi has formed a deadly combination with Luis Suarez in the attack. Many ex-footballers thought that the departure of Neymar might hurt the balance of their forward line, but the 30-year old has teamed up quite well with Suarez and his coordination with the midfield as well has been as sharp as ever....

On Monday, the NHL Players Association announced it would not exercise its option to reopen the current collective bargaining agreement.

So are a lot of Americans. The country has rudely awakened to the enormous role the United Parcel Service plays in its national life. Indeed, it is so ubiquitous that many people confuse this private company with the Postal Service. Everybody, it seems, knows the Men in Brown. Their nerdy-retro vans ply every urban and suburban byway. They are a national conveyor belt that delivers 80 percent of the packages and parcels we so routinely zip hither and thither....
