Here are some Feel Good Friday stories to wrap up 2021…
1. Two dogs got a little over-excited while chasing geese near Great Falls, Montana, and wound up plunging through the ice into the Missouri River. Firefighters from Great Falls Fire Rescue fished them out of the river and thawed them out in their ambulance. They were then taken to the City of Great Falls Animal Shelter.
2. Habitat for Humanity has built its first 3D-printed house in Williamsburg, Virginia, and the organization just handed over the keys to April Stringfield and her young son. Habitat builds homes and then sells them to moderate-income families at zero profit with a zero-interest mortgage, plus some hours of sweat equity by the buyer. In this case, much of the sweat equity was provided by a 3D printer.
3. Simon Curtis took a container of romaine lettuce out of the refrigerator one day only to discover a live frog camping out in it. So, he adopted the frog. First, Simon contacted a wildlife biologist who identified it as a green tree frog. Then, he made the frog a nice new home and got it some wax worms to eat. He considered releasing it outdoors but, after consulting with a conservation biologist, Simon has decided to keep the frog, whose name is now Tony. Naturally, Tony’s continuing adventures are available on Twitter.
4. Hundreds of surfers wearing Santa Claus costumes took the plunge in Cocoa Beach, Florida, for their 12th annual charity event. Retired NFL & CFL quarterback Doug Flutie kicked off the event on Friday by jumping out of a helicopter in a Santa costume, complete with a special baseball cap with white fur trim and a pompom. The event benefits the Florida Surf Museum and Grind for Life, an organization that helps cancer patients and their families who need to travel for treatment.
