Snarkless: Baby Walruses, Lottery Wins, and “Angels on Earth”

Here are a few more Snarkless stories making the rounds . . .

1.  A baby walrus is a hit online after she was rescued in Alaska last summer.  Her name is Uki.  (OO-key)  She was dehydrated, malnourished, and needed “cuddle care” from zookeepers to stay warm.

She couldn’t be released back into the wild, so she’s living at SeaWorld Orlando and doing great.  She’s 350 pounds and still growing.  A female walrus named Kaboodle has been acting as her adoptive mother.

2.  A woman in Maryland who never buys lottery tickets got one as a gift and won $30,000.  She says she thought she was reading the ticket wrong.  She didn’t think she’d really won until she showed it to someone and they freaked out.

3.  A couple in Tennessee named Caleb and Ruchala Bone just adopted a two-year-old girl named Isabella, who had open-heart surgery as an infant.  And that’s WHY they adopted her.

She’s the fourth child with a serious medical condition they’ve either adopted or fostered.  Their son Griffin was born with a heart condition, and that’s when they learned lots of kids with health issues are stuck in foster care.  An official involved in last week’s adoption called them “angels on earth.”
