There’s a new study out that suggests children may not be harmed as much as by screen time as some people previously thought. Scientists at a Hungarian University studied kids four to six years old.

It’s Miracle Treat Day, and we wanted to do our part to put the word out that ice cream before 9 a.m. is actually a good thing. On one day of the year, in July, we actually look forward to a blizzard….

Marney is a 2-year-old pit bull terrier who came into the 4 Luv of Dog shelter from the Wahpeton pound. Rescue workers aren’t sure about much of…
