Hi All! Look at this cool picture of a guy and his dog I saw paddling along the Grand Union Canal in London. A dog really is a man’s best friend, I think we all agree. I’m sending this as a reminder to anyone thinking of rescuing a dog from an animal shelter.

Hi All, Suddenly, I seem to be getting a lot of messages signed: ‘Hugs’ Maybe I was wrong. Maybe everyone really does need a hug. That was probably mean spirited of me and so I would like to now say, ‘Have a nice day… Hugs’

Chrissie Hynde @chrissiehynde.com · 31/07/2026

Question: When did everyone get so touchy-feely? It seems like a new thing where people sign their emails: “Hugs” Hate to be a spoil sport, but I’m wondering if there’s anyone else out there who isn’t huggy. Surely, it’s not just me.
