Pet of the Week: Apollo
EUGENE, Ore. – If you’re looking for an energetic young pup to liven up your life, then our Pet of the Week, Apollo, may be just the doggo for you!. Greenhill Humane Society staff said that this two-year-old, 76-pound mixed breed canine critter would love to find an active family that can match his level of enthusiasm. Playing fetch is a surefire way to his heart, he already knows how to ‘sit’ on command, and ideally his forever family will help him continue his training. Apollo is eligible for Greenhill’s Foster-to-Adopt program, which allows potential adopters to foster him up to two weeks to see if he’s a good match before committing to adoption. A slow introduction to cats is advised and Apollo would do best with kids who are calm and can treat him respectfully. Any canine siblings should be introduced to Apollo at the shelter, as well. His adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccinations, microchip, a certificate for a free vet exam, post-adoption support, and more.

A Conversation With Corin Tucker And Tracy Sawyer (Heavens To Betsy)
When Corin Tucker and Tracy Sawyer kickstarted Heavens To Betsy in Olympia, Wash., in 1991, the two were in their teens and just finding just their voices in an underground scene where proficiency on one’s instrument mattered less than having something to say. In the grand scheme of things, the pairing registered as little more than a promising blip before the two moved on to other projects—Tucker as co-founder of Sleater-Kinney and Sawyer as the drummer for the Lies and several other bands. Meanwhile, the riot-grrrl movement they helped spawn morphed into a fiercely independent space for young women to confront subjects mainstream rock generally ignored.

Puppies practice essential skills to become guide dogs at the Eugene Airport
The sight of a puppy is enough to elicit excitement from many people. Seeing one working hard to fill a much-needed role seems even cuter, especially for onlookers at the Eugene Airport Oct. 24 who got to see a parade of puppies practice their skills in preparation for becoming certified guide dogs. Guide dogs have the responsibility of supporting their owners through the world safely and with confidence, but the first year of a puppy’s life is dedicated to learning things like their name and basic commands before they advance to specialized training for a client’s needs. Puppies and their volunteer raisers from the Eugene, Corvallis, West Linn and Bend areas practiced the essential skill of navigating an airport. The event allowed about 15 puppies the chance to experience the TSA screening process and the hubbub of an airport before bearing the responsibility for guiding travelers who are blind or visually impaired. Sarah Blevins, director of puppy-raising for Guide Dogs for the Blind , said guide dogs provide people a way to get somewhere safely, as guide dog users partner with their dogs to navigate streetscapes, sidewalks, public transit and more to get from point A to point B.

We Asked Garden Pros if Cold or Room-Temperature Water Is Better for Plants—And They All Agreed
For most garden plants, adequate moisture matters more than using cold or room-temperature water. More temperature sensitive plants may be affected by very cold water, but other factors also influence root-zone temperatures. Avoid very hot hose water, check soil moisture, water at the soil line, and water in the morning.
