Don't make any of these mistakes the next time you go shopping for a watermelon at the store or market. It is watermelon season in many parts of the country. That means you should have access to locally grown watermelon. But don't assume that. Always make sure to check the sticker on the watermelon. Where are the watermelons coming from? This time of year you shouldn't be buying a watermelon that was picked in Mexico, when local options are available.

Yellowstone’s oldest wolf pack, Mollie’s Pack, leaves the park, raising fears for its future

Leslie Patten hiked into a remote reach of northwest Wyoming’s Sunlight Basin in December to post a trail camera where she’d earlier seen wolf tracks. At the time, a winter closure was fast approaching, and the Park County resident wouldn’t be able to retrieve the camera and review the footage for months. When she hiked back to fetch her equipment on May 1, the citizen scientist and author was greeted by one of nature’s most primal noises: the howls of wolves.

He Weighs Just 3 Pounds, But Tiny Colbert is Carrying a Whole Lot of Hope

Meet Colbert, a four-month-old Chihuahua at Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River, Massachusetts, who weighs in at an eye-popping three pounds and is now looking for a home. In a recent post introducing the tiny pup, the shelter emphasized just how small Colbert is: “Colbert is 3 pounds. Yes, 3. Not 13. Not 30. 3,” adding that it’s “less than a gallon of milk” and joking that it’s “about the weight of an average human brain.” Despite the miniature size, the message from Forever Paws is clear: Colbert is a puppy with a big personality, and the shelter is hoping the right adopter will be ready for the responsibility that comes with such a small, energetic dog.

The One Thing I Always Check Before Buying Cherries

Learn what you always want to look for when it comes to buying cherries from the store or farmers market. Whenever I am shopping for cherries the number one thing I look for is color. This will determine whether the cherries will be sweet and flavorful or sour and bland. I want to start by talking about the bags of dark cherries that are the most commonly found cherries in grocery stores nationwide. Cherries that are sold in the stores as "dark cherries" or "red cherries", should be dark in color. They should be closer to black in color than red. Often you won't find all the cherries in the bag to be exactly the same color, but the majority of them should be dark.

Taxi is a small, scruffy 27-pound Border Terrier/Pug mix (no DNA done) in Massachusetts who’s looking for a forever home after a disappointing turn of events: Taxi was adopted, then returned, not for aggression or “bad behavior,” but simply for barking at daycare. In a recent post, PAWS New England shared Taxi’s story in Taxi’s own words, explaining that busy daycare environments are stressful and bring out loud opinions, even though Taxi is otherwise described as “pretty perfect” at home.
