Ken Hayes — Tue, 14 May 2013 15:10:31 +0000

This week is National Pet Week, which happens to coincide with "Be Kind To Animals" week. Our family has a cat, which you've probably heard me complain about periodically.

But we both love our pets, and wanted to take a poll of our listeners and to see if we have more "cat people" or "dog people.

Do You Need a Dog License in the City of Duluth? Yes, and for Chickens, Bees and Whole Lot More!

Cathy Kates — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:32:10 +0000

After getting a new puppy, the question came up, do you need to register your pet with the City of Duluth? After research, I found you do, and for bees and chickens, if you plan to keep them too! Plus, if you want a dance hall or plan on running a coin operated device. There's a license for just about everything you want to do or own and some of them left me scratching my head!

11 Guilty Dogs Caught in the Act

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:10:08 +0000

We have some beef with dogs. How is it that they can get into loads of trouble, and we still can't get mad at them due ridiculous amounts of cuteness? It's sort of annoying, especially because most times pups know they're getting into shenanigans, but they do mischievous stuff anyway. Even then we still can't bear to punish the little buggers.

Man's Best Friend, Your Dog Is Ready To Steal Your Food If They Think You Can't See Them

Chris Allen — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 19:39:08 +0000

Devoted dog owners will often swear that their pet somehow understands them. My Grandma June would say, look, just by the way she tilts her head, I know she understands me.

Staff Writer — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:19:03 +0000

[onescreen item="5008413"] Never seen a Scottish terrier puppy pinwheel? It’s a mesmerizing sight. “Why don’t they stop walking, and just stand and drink?” you might ask. But that would be missing the point entirely. Once one of them starts moving as he drinks, the other five must then do the same. And round and round they [...]
