Miniature but mighty! Our dog of the week Buddy may have short little legs, but his personality reaches epic heights!

This six-year-old rat terrier mix is spunky, fun and spirited. He knows what he wants and he goes all in. Walks, play time with toys and snuggles. All day, every day.

I have this theory (I know, some of you are thinking “OMG, what is he going to say next”) that gardeners possess a special “horticultural hormone” that I have dubbed “hortitostrogen.”

The truth is that this “hortitostrogen” has been titrating into my blood stream.

Beginning on Monday, February 22nd, students, teachers, and staff in Snohomish School District schools are participating in a COVID-19 testing project with researchers at the University of Washington to gain new insights into the transmission of the virus in schools and classrooms.

You won't ever feel blue with Blue in your life! Our dog of the week bonds very strongly to his person and will be your best friend through it all. Whether that's watching a movie, reading a book, playing fetch in the yard, or going for a drive.

Blue enjoys any type of activity as long as it's with his human.
