Today in Lawrence: Kennel Club dog walk; domestic violence seminar

You're not the only social creature in your household: You dog needs friends, too! Take your dog for a walk, and both of you might make news friends. Join the Lawrence Jayhawk Kennel Club for its Wednesday Night Dog Walk at 7 p.m. at the Lawrence Rotary Arboretum, 5100 W. 27th St.

Hot one

The heat endures, and will only get stronger as the week goes on. Today’s high is expected to be 94, and tonight’s low is looking at about 77. No clouds or rain forecast, so it will stay hot with a high UV index. Wear your sunscreen and stay indoors when possible!
