Mistie loves hot blankets from the dryer, according to her owner, Lisa Eash. Given cold weather in late December, we think most Basin residents can relate.

“This is Sweetie, keeping warm in her daisy blanket. She is impatiently waiting for her dinner,” said Tanya Kanoff of her furry friend. The folks here at the Herald totally get Sweetie’s vibe. We like our warm blankets and dinner too.
“This is Wilson, the love of my life. He loves this weather we’ve been having,” said Heidi Vanoy Cardin of her favorite fuzzy snowball.

Josie Sisson submitted this photo of Daisy the Great Dane, and Foo the cat. It appears Foo is generously sharing the bed with Daisy.
Olga Justesen submitted a photo of Odie, her lab that she absolutely adores. She was concerned that labradores, being the wonderful critters they are, were not as represented in the discussion as they should be.
Valerie Parrott presented this photo of Tiger, whom she says “rules the roost” at her home. “And yes, he does have the fluffiest tail ever,” Parrott said.

She was driving south on Booker Road approaching the intersection when her car was hit by a pickup driven by John Reiss, 62, Kennewick.

About 104 homes are planned at the former Atlas sawmill site
Teachers, nurses, firefighters and other workers who keep Coeur d’Alene running will soon have more places to buy a home in the community where they work. About 104 homes are being planned to be built at Atlas Waterfront, on roughly 10 acres that are part of a swath of land that was once home to the Atlas sawmill and is being redeveloped. Ignite CDA, the city of Coeur d’Alene’s urban renewal agency, is leading this effort.
