WINDOW ROCK, Ariz.- A tornado touched down northeast of Monument Valley June 5. Around 8 p.m., Rose Whitehair, director of the Navajo Nation Department of Emergency Management, sent photos of a tornado touching down northeast of Monument Valley to the office of the President. On June 5th of this year, a rare occurrence happened near Monument Valley National Park, as a tornado touched down causing silver-dollar sized hail and multiple rockslides in the Montezuma Creek and Bluff area of Navajo Nation outside of Monument Valley. No injuries or property damage was reported, but this event served as a reminder for local residents to take precautionary measures during rainstorms passing over the Nation. "We encourage the traveling public to be cautious with the recent storms arising on the Navajo Nation. There have been marble sized hail, a tornado and rockslides reported," Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye said. While there was a short period of encouraged avoidance of Highway 95 near the Comb Ridge in Bluff, Utah as there were reports of rockslides in the area, the area is now open and deemed safe for public travel. There have been no issues with tours of Monument Valley, but the precaution to pay attention to weather forecasts for the area, as well as contacting local law enforcement if strange weather patterns are noticed is encouraged during the upcoming months.

Las Vegas is a city that poses several problems for dog owners to properly care for their dogs. The summers are especially hot and dry, with many consecutive days over 100 degrees. This causes a situation where it is unsafe to exercise your dog properly, because cement will be over 120 degrees and pavement will be upwards of 150 degrees as soon as the ambient temperatures outside go over 100. For most dogs this will create an unsafe situation where their paws will burn and blister, and for dogs with flatter faces it can actually be deadly as they have a more difficult time cooling themselves. Las Vegas also offers very few open fields where you can run your dog safely. While dog parks themselves are the correct setup to run a dog without being hindered by a leash or moving at our pace, the possibilities of dangerous situations at dog parks makes many owners hesitate to bring their dog there. After all, even if your dog is trained and socialized does not mean that the other dogs at the park are equally well adjusted. Too many stories from dog parks involve perfectly loving dogs being attacked and harmed by those that are not, and it is a shame to find this fact out the hard way. Most trainers will agree that dog parks are fine as long as there are no other dogs in them that you do not know will get along with your dog. The solution to these issues is RUN DAWG Mobile Dog gym.
