Meet Nelly and Layla, Daily Dig reader Renee’s dynamic duo. These two adorable besties have one thing on their minds, and it’s not long walks on the beach. It’s food. Glorious food.

Whether it’s a crunchy treat or a surprise snack, Nelly and Layla are all ears and ready for action. They're the kind of dogs who know exactly where the treats are kept... and how to give you that look until you cave. And honestly, with faces like that? Who could resist?

Thank you, Renee, for sharing Nelly and Layla with us! Want your pup featured next? Send us a photo, their name, and a little bit about them. We’d love to include them as an upcoming Dog of the Day!

Border Collies are the overachievers of the dog world. Originally bred to herd sheep on the rugged hills between Scotland and England, they became famous for their sharp “eye,” a focused stare that can guide an entire flock.

They’re medium-sized, usually 30–45 pounds, but don’t let that fool you—these dogs have energy to spare. A quick walk won’t cut it. They need hours of play, puzzles, or sports like agility to stay happy. If they don’t have a job, they’ll make one: sometimes by herding kids, squirrels, or even cars.

What makes them so loved, though, isn’t just their brains. Border Collies are affectionate, loyal, and quick to bond with their people. With good care, they live 12–15 years, and weekly brushing keeps their double coat looking great.

For active families, they’re not just pets. They’re true teammates, always ready for the next adventure.

If your dog has a KONG toy, you already know how much joy it brings them. But the real fun starts when you stuff it with something delicious. Not only does it keep pups busy, it gives them mental stimulation too.

Veterinarians recommend keeping it safe and simple: xylitol-free peanut butter, pumpkin, plain Greek yogurt, and fresh fruits or veggies like blueberries, apples (seeds removed), or carrots. For something heartier, you can try chicken and sweet potato mash, tuna with cucumber, or even a mini “doggy omelet” with egg and veggies. Freezing the KONG makes it last longer, turning snack time into a real challenge.

One pro tip? Give each dog their own KONG to prevent squabbles, and always make sure the filling is in line with their diet. With a little creativity (and vet-approved ingredients), you can turn this classic toy into the ultimate treat.

Waking up multiple times a night to use the bathroom isn't just frustrating—it's robbing you of the deep, restorative sleep your body needs. And it's not something you just have to live with.

Many women over 50 accept frequent nighttime urination as an inevitable part of aging. But recent research shows there's a natural solution that can help you sleep through the night again, without prescription medications or invasive procedures.

Discover the simple way to stop peeing at night.
