As I see it

The unjust destruction of the career and legacy of a great local man known intercontinentally for his compassion and integrity has recently been strongly and rightly protested by the community that he’s faithfully and selflessly served for almost four decades. But his is, unfortunately, just one more name on a long list of lives and careers that have been decimated over the past several years by toxic management practices at our county hospital.

Experienced trainers can work with aggressive dogs and their owners

In recent days, Go Dog North Shore received a report of an incident involving an aggressive dog at the Grand Marais Dog Park. While we have not been able to verify all sides of the story of this particular incident, we thought this would be a good opportunity to remind dog park users of proper park etiquette. First and foremost, if your dog has ever exhibited “aggressive” or reactive behavior towards other dogs or humans, please do not bring your dog to the park. Doing so puts other people and pets in harm's way and could result in medical treatment and/or legal consequences. In addition, avoiding situations that cause your dog to be in a reactive state of mind is simply healthier for your dog.

Give the gift of outdoor opportunities

For those hunting for holiday gift ideas, consider giving someone the opportunity for a lifetime of outdoor adventures with a Minnesota lifetime fishing or hunting license. The memory of time spent outdoors is one of the most meaningful gifts one can give.
