Clean place for dirty dogs: New pet grooming business opens in south Fargo

Kayla Wheeler and her boyfriend, Elliot Okland, got the 160-pound dog with a thick black coat about three years ago. She had always wanted a Newfoundland, she said, and his calm, friendly personality quickly won over Okland. But Leopold's large size posed a problem: Giving him a bath at home was too messy. Wheeler looked into the options around Minneapolis where they lived and found a self- serve dog wash that was clean, convenient and perfect for their busy lifestyle. Okland, a native of Montana who moved to Fargo when he was 12, joked that he was more familiar with a less sophisticated dog cleaning method .

Today's master bath suites have it all

One of the most desired rooms in newly built homes and in additions to existing homes is the master bath suite . A master bath suite is defined as a bathroom that is directly connected to a master bedroom . The master bath suite provides privacy because it is never accessed through common areas like kitchens or hallways. Prominent since the 1950s, but especially popular in today's modern homes, the master bath suite has truly come of age. Terry Kenney, president of the Chicago-Midwest Chapter of the National Kitchen and Bath Association , believes the master bath suite is a necessity for busy couples. "The master bath suite provides efficient use of a bathroom/closet space by providing all the necessary storage for clothing, shoes, linens and personal grooming items in one room, separate from the bedroom. Some homeowners have installed under-counter refrigeration and a coffee maker. If space allows, laundry facilities or exercise areas a...
