Once upon a time, an exceptionally talented American actress captured the hearts of millions with her outstanding performances and captivating azure eyes reminiscent of an icy princess, leaving audiences spellbound.
This extraordinary woman, known as Foster, embarked on her acting journey during her formative years at boarding school, where she participated in theater productions, refining her craft and conquering stage fright.
Her cinematic debut came swiftly alongside Michael Douglas in the film “Adam at 6 am,” garnering attention in professional circles for her distinctive appearance and entrancing gaze.
Throughout her illustrious career, Foster earned critical acclaim for her roles, even securing a nomination for the Canadian film award “Genie” for her performance in the drama “Ticket to Heaven.” Notable credits include appearances in “Master of the Universe,” “Strangers Among Us,” “Another Story,” and “Blind Fury.”
Beyond the silver screen, Foster found success in television series such as “Cagney and Lacey,” “Xena – Warrior Queen,” “ER,” “Quantum Leap,” and “The Amazing Wanderings of Hercules,” among others.
Despite her popularity, Foster’s romantic life saw her married only once to colleague Stephen McHattie, though the union eventually dissolved. Today, she resides alone on her expansive ranch, dedicated to horse breeding.
As time passed, Foster’s film appearances dwindled, and the natural aging process became evident, with deep wrinkles gracing her face. Nonetheless, she remains unapologetic about her appearance, choosing to embrace the aging process without resorting to plastic surgery.
With her distinctive appearance and commanding presence, Foster continues to captivate audiences, demonstrating that age cannot diminish her enduring allure. Her performances and unwavering spirit stand as a testament to her remarkable talent and timeless appeal.
Vet reveals the shocking reason you should never hug your dog
A vet has warned how a ‘hug’ can make a dog feel, and it’s not necessarily what you would expect
A vet has warned that it could be a bad idea to ‘hug’ your dog, as it could have the opposite effect on them to what us humans feel.
There’s nothing nicer than coming home from a long day at work to your furry friend scurrying as fast as they can to the door to greet you.
Your natural reaction is usually to bend down and give them a big cuddle, and whilst it might look like they’re loving every second – it might not be what they’re really feeling.
Dog experts are now warning owners to find different ways of showing their love.
According to a vet who spoke to Psychology Today, a hug can actually make a dog feel quite anxious and trapped – this is because a dog’s primary defence is to run away.
Psychologist Stanley Coren explained: “Yes, your dog may leap into your lap and kiss your face, cuddle against your neck, and beg you to rub her belly.
“But that’s not ‘hugging.’
“In my experience, many dogs don’t enjoy having a human move one or two arms around their shoulders and squeeze.
“That’s the hug we are talking about.”
Behaviour Vets author Lauren Novack believes dogs who do enjoy hugs are a complete ‘exception’, reports Daily Paws.
She said: “When dogs don’t like something and politely ask for space over and over again to no avail, they’re likely to escalate their communication to growling or biting.
“I don’t want dogs to be stressed, and I don’t want humans to get bitten. For most dogs, hugs are stressful.”
Stanley previously analysed 250 photos of dogs being given hugs, and he found that in 80% of the images, the dogs showed signs of looking stressed.
And he noted that this can be indicated by a dog lowers their ears, closing their eyes, or turning away from the source of anxiety.
And the psychologist has now revealed some much better alternatives.
He said: “The clear recommendation to come out of this research is to save your hugs for your two-footed family members and lovers.
“It is clearly better from the dog’s point of view if you express your fondness for your pet with a pat, a kind word, and maybe a treat.”
And the last thing we want to do is upset our furry babies, so we’re definitely going to take this advice on board!
