Big news in women’s sports: The 2024 Olympics will be the first with full gender parity.  That means the same number of women and men are competing.  The International Olympic Committee just did a big write-up about it for International Women’s Day on Friday…… People on Instagram are obsessed with a fat dog’s weight loss journey.  An eight-year-old golden retriever named Frannie was so obese, she was about to be put down, but a charity called Rover’s Retreat adopted her. A 24-year-old veterinary student named Annika Bram volunteered to foster, and she’s been getting Frannie’s weight under control.  She was 125 pounds, and she’s dropped more than 30 pounds in the past three months……….And finally……. 

A 100-year-old World War Two vet named Harold Terens is being honored in France this June at an event for the 80th anniversary of D-Day.  And he’s planning to also get married while he’s there.  He’s been dating a 96-year-old woman since 2021, and they’re in love. The couple and their families will head to Paris in late May, where Terens and a handful of surviving World War II veterans will be honored. Of the 16 million American WWII veterans, the government says only 120,000 remain.
