It's National Walk Your Dog Week (the first week of October)! Today might be a great day to get in a good walk. Cooler days are coming, so longer walks will be easier soon. 👉Share a photo of your favorite walking buddy in the comments! And read on...

Here’s why regular walks are one of the best things you can do for both you and your pup:
🌾 Better health: Helps manage weight, strengthen joints, and lower stress — for both of you.
🐶 Better behavior: A tired dog is a well-behaved dog! Regular walks reduce boredom and anxiety.
👋 Better connection: Walks are a great way to meet neighbors (two- and four-legged alike).
💩 Better habits: Walking encourages a regular bathroom routine — and fewer “surprises” in the yard or in the house!
⏰ How often? Most dogs do best with at least one good walk a day — about 20–30 minutes — but even short strolls twice a day are great. If you can’t manage daily walks, aim for 3–5 times a week and mix in playtime at home.
🐕💚 Whether you’re walking down Main Street or around the back 40, every step helps your dog live a longer, happier life.

Start planning your alternate routes. Local highway closure starts on October 8.

Work on the project is expected to be complete by the middle of November. Southbound U.S. 31 will reopen in advance of this northbound closure. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.

During the closure, drivers should use the official detour of S.R. 931.

What did you think about our Barn Cats series? Let us know in the comments! And thanks to EVERYONE who commented and added photos of their working and companion cats!

Even with modern pest control, farm cats still play an important role in country life. Many families keep them not only for their skills, but also for their companionship - because a purring cat in the barn makes chores a little lighter. Do you think today’s barn cats are more like coworkers… or family members? Tell us what you think in the comments. (Part 3 of 3)

Barn cats weren’t pampered pets - they were survivors. With sharp hunting skills, fierce independence, and coats thick enough to handle Indiana winters, they have thrived outdoors while protecting grain and feed. Ever notice how a good barn cat seems half wild, half family? With that mix, haven't they helped keep generations of farms running better? In the comments, tell us how many you have (or had) on the farm or homestead! (Part 2 of 3)

How much do you know about those wily felines that seem to always hang around barns, sheds, and other farm buildings? In Indiana’s farming past, cats were the unsung heroes of the grain bins - keeping mice and rats at bay so families could eat through the winter. The most common breeds found on farms were hardy domestic shorthairs and longhairs - tough, resourceful, and not picky about where they slept! Do you still have a ‘working cat’ on your farm or homestead? Share a picture! We’d love to see them carrying on the tradition.
(This is part 1 of a 3-part series. More to come!)
