FARGO — We’re trying to help a tiny little Turtle come out of her shell this Pet Connection Thursday.

POLK CO., Minn. — We’ve had some cuddly cuties on Pet Connection before, but Courtney might be the most affectionate of the cats so far.

Courtney is continuing the roll we’ve been on lately on the Morning Show; she’s the third black…
FARGO — Benedict, a big black beauty, comes to us from Homeward Animal Shelter. He’s about 15 pounds of shiny, solid black gorgeousness. Not fat, just solid muscle and fur with a huge head, big feet with all their claws that he was very careful not to use on us, and an incredibly sweet and patient disposition. He was doing…
