🐾 One simple test could save your dog's paws this afternoon.

Be sure to hit the share button for family & friends!

When air temperatures climb into the upper 80s and 90s, asphalt and concrete can quickly heat to temperatures capable of burning your pet's paws.

A good rule of thumb: If you can't comfortably hold the back of your hand on the pavement for 7 seconds, it's too hot for your dog.

Ways to protect your furry friends: Walk early in the morning, wait until near sunset, Stick to grass when possible, and bring water for longer walks.

Today's heat isn't just tough on us — it's tough on our four-legged family members too!

⚓ Calling all Great Lakes mariners — past and present.

Join us August 15–16 at the National Museum of the Great Lakes for the inaugural Great Lakes Mariner Meet-Up, a weekend dedicated to reconnecting the people who know life on the water best.

From department meet-ups aboard our historic vessels to after-hours gatherings, storytelling sessions, and shared meals, this special weekend is all about celebrating the friendships, memories, and experiences that shaped Great Lakes maritime culture.

Whether you sailed for decades or spent just one season aboard, we’d love to welcome you.
