eyelashes

LONDON — An animal shelter has been inundated with offers of help after it requested a home for a pair of Great Danes — one of which is blind and totally dependent on the other.

Louise Campbell, the manager of Dogs Trust Shrewsbury, said that more than 200 people have responded to the call for help and possibly a new home since the shelter went public about the dogs’ plight a few days ago.

A Texas company that sells a kit to lengthen eyelashes is suing a competitor. Xtreme Lashes, which claims it can "extend your beauty," filed suit against a company called Xtended Beauty.

An appeals court now says a jury can decide if the names are too close. The ruling includes a reference to "not batting an eyelash."
