Dog Leading Nature Walks This Weekend

Looking for something to do this weekend? Head to the park for a free nature walk being led by local outdoors buff, Harvey. The 5-month-old dog might young, but he’s definitely not green when it comes to the great outdoors.

“Oh, he’s been coming to the park since he was a puppy,” said close friend and confidant Amanda Whitlow. “He knows this place backwards and forwards.”

The half hour walks will start today and tomorrow at 10am and 2pm and leave from just behind the third base dugout at the Little League field. If the turnout is good, Harvey plans to run walks every weekend this summer.

Puppy Advocates for Shorter Work Week

Tirol, a French Bulldog from Chicago, IL, is dog tired of working 40 hours per week. The puppy favors the attitude of his native France, which has had a 35-hour work week since 2000 and recently moved to limit work emails outside of the office.

“Tirol is just sick of the rat race,” said co-worker and labor organizer Marion Arnaud. “He wants a better separation between work and life.”

According to Arnaud, the pup doesn’t even necessarily demand a shorter work week. He’s just advocating for some “common sense” measures to have a better work-life balance.

“Afternoon naps, to start,” said Arnaud. “Mandatory walks if he has to stay late. That sort of thing.”
