🌳 Eight Hogan Park Trees Coming Down

Woods Cross plans to begin removing eight heavily infested ash trees at Hogan Park today. After a large limb fell in July, inspections found extensive borer damage; the city plans shorter, more drought-tolerant replacement trees.

The work addresses damaged trees while making room for replacements better suited to the park and nearby power lines. 👉 Read More

🐾 Rotate the Toy Box

If your pup seems bored with the same toys, you may not need to buy more — just switch things up!

Preppy Paws Tip: Put a few toys away for a week or two, then bring them back out. To your dog, an old favorite can suddenly feel brand new again. 🐶✨

Toy rotation is an easy way to keep playtime interesting, encourage enrichment, and get a little more life out of the toys you already have.
