At every railroad crossing in Freeport, there's a little blue sign called an Emergency Notification System sign. If there's a stranded vehicle at the crossing, the ENS sign has a 1-800 number that will reach railroad dispatch directly. If someone's vehicle is stuck at a crossing, police will not know how to stop the train, but the dispatcher will! So please be familiar with the little blue sign at railroad crossings!

Sure, tricks, agility and competitions are fun, but most of my students are more interested in traveling, vacationing, jogging, hiking, bringing their dogs to social events and walking their dogs to the post office. And they and their dogs get injured trying to do just these ordinary "pet dog" things.

That's why I wrote my first book of the Signal Training series, "Leading to Freedom," which is all about how to more safely, comfortably leash walk your dog without getting hurt and without traumatizing your dog.

If you know someone who might break a hip or get a head injury while walking a dog, please share this book with them.

If you are on the Affordable Care Act, call your senators today. Trumps "Big Beautiful Bill" is going to raise your health insurance by hundreds of dollars PER MONTH. Tell them to vote no.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) tells CNN’s Jake Tapper that Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill slashes health care and food aid, calling it a “political albatross” that harms millions to benefit the wealthy.
