Goose Dog Spared Death Penalty
An orphaned pooch facing the death penalty has gotten a reprive, but will still go to prison–and she hasn’t even committed a crime! We did a story about GOOSE HERDING dogs two years ago and it looks like only recently has the Boise Parks Dept. followed up on action passed by the ParK Board at [...]
Seeing Is Believing, A Matter Of Perspective
At lunch today we met with an old friend in an attempt to explain the GUARDIAN philosophy is to stimulate discussion, debate, and common sense. The photo above was in mind when we told our friend the image has a different meaning for anyone who sees it–just like many of the stories we post. To [...]
F&G Still Looking For Hammer Flats Money
Working on the upcoming “best of 2010″ stories list, we came across the May 29 HAMMER FLAT land deal announcement between Boise City and Idaho Fish and Game, prompting an update.

Arriving at Winter Range on left. Recalculating.” Apparently when the snow melts the collar sends the game to higher elevations [...]

The incident involves Groen in his personal, and not [...]

At least 12 fire aparatus were on the scene with 35-50 firefighters. Police cordoned off the area which drew a host of onlookers as the flames and smoke lit up the nighttime sky. [...]
Hummers Fly To Their Own Drummer
While visiting Camp David at Frazier Peak near Cascade (our humility is AWESOME!) over the Memorial Day weekend we were bombarded with hummingbirds–looks like a banner year. While we don’t have the 30 variety of species here in Idaho that we saw this winter working the “day job” in Costa Rica, they are fun to [...]
