By Valerie Bonk

Do you have a picture of your pup on your phone? Want to help break a world record? A dog day care, boarding and grooming service with a location in Virginia wants you to help them break a Guinness World Record on Tuesday, which marks its 20th anniversary.

Dogtopia has locations across the country and in Canada. Locally, it has locations in D.C., Virginia and Maryland. To take part in the record attempt, upload a photo of your dog sitting to Instagram starting at 2 p.m. and ending at 3 p.m. on Tuesday using the hashtag #DogtopiaDogParty in the main caption. Only one dog can be included per post and you only need to post one image per account. And, your Instagram account has to be public in order to make it count.

Mesmerizing jellyfish take center stage at 1st US museum dedicated solely to the floating predators

By The Associated Press
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The floating tentacled predators pulse and swirl in hypnotic patterns in the dark museum space, lit primarily by images projected on the walls and the glowing light from the saltwater tanks. The private Jellyfish Museum in Pompano Beach, Florida, just north of Fort Lauderdale, is believed to be the first museum in the United States dedicated solely to the translucent invertebrates, and one of the few such spaces in the world, according to the city and the museum’s founders. It was created by Alex and Yana Yanovsky, who previously developed successful aquariums in Ukraine, including their first jellyfish museum in Kyiv. The couple left those facilities behind when they fled Ukraine following the 2022 Russian invasion, operations manager Jessica Eisenbarth said. The museum, which opened this past spring, is the couple's first aquatic attraction since immigrating to the U.S., but they'd like to expand.
