EDITORIALNOTE

LIFE IS BETTER

t’s hard to imagine a life without pets, not that I would want to imagine that life anyway.

Our pets are a thing to celebrate. They bring us boundless joy, fulfillment and something to clean up after. In light of current events and increased time spent at home this year, many of us have been lucky to spend more time with our pets. I grew up around animals, probably just like many of you. It seems like every time I look back at a fond memory, one of my childhood dogs is always present in that recollection. Champ and Pearl were the two yellow labs I had growing up. They brought so much joy to my life as a kid. From our romps through the raspberry patch to sneaking them onto my bed at night, those two dogs brought me so many great memories and I’m incredibly thankful to have been able to experience the love of a dog. I’ve always dreamed of owning a dog since then, but I’m

making myself wait until I can provide a dog with a big yard to run around in. While I’m embracing apartment living, I made the decision to welcome a cat into my life. I had never considered myself even remotely a cat person, but when I adopted my seven-year-old tabby cat Yoga two years ago that all changed. I had no idea how close we would be. When I got her from the shelter she was missing some teeth and had looked like she had been through a rough time, but there was something about this little mangy furball that called out to me and so I scooped her up immediately. Now, my cat is the light of my life. I’d never met a cat so personable and emotive (yeah, I know I’m being biased). She meets me at the door every time I come home and finds any opportunity to sit on my lap. Like many cats, she enjoys basking in the sun, feathers and sitting on the dinner table despite my

WITH PETS pleading her not to do so, but I let it slide. She loves playing outside and now with the colder weather we’re both missing sitting on the front steps to take in the sun and the breeze. All pet owners have a unique relationship with their pets, but the one common thread throughout is that we want the best for our pets. To express the ever-growing bond and our boundless love for the animals that live in our homes, treat them like royalty. Whether you already have a pet or are considering adopting one, the annual pet issue of Fargo Monthly is your go-to guide for all things pets. Pets come in all shapes and sizes and this issue of Fargo Monthly celebrates the pets who may not be the first to come to mind. In addition to cats and dogs, reptiles, amphibians and even birds can make wonderful companion animals. Although these animals may seem more exotic or complicated, they’re

not so different from any furry animal that requires your care and affection. While putting together this issue, I learned a lot about caring for all these animals and the most important lesson I left with is to adopt, don’t shop. There are many animals right here in FargoMoorhead looking for a home. If you can’t commit to owning a pet full-time right now, fostering is always a rewarding experience too. So call over your cat, pet your parrot, dote on your dog and remind your reptile how much you love them. Pets are part of our family and they need you just as much as you need them.

Gonertz and her animal ambassador Rayla, a carpet python, travel around Fargo-Moorhead to educate the public about proper reptile handling.

All all

that

slithers Tasha Gorentz, founder of Kritter Krazy Reptile and Exotic Rescue, recognized an unmet need in the Fargo-Moorhead community for the rehabilitation and rehoming of reptiles. Gorentz grew up around animals and has had an interest in caring for animals her entire life. Getting her start by rescuing cats and dogs, Gorentz realized there are plenty of resources for those animals, but for reptiles and other exotic pets, it is difficult to find local rescues and resources. “I'm passionate about all animals, but especially reptiles because they are becoming more accessible to purchase, but there's not a lot of education,” Gorentz said. “There's not a lot of resources for people to learn how to properly take care of them.” With Kwame the Nile monitor and Rayla the carpet python wrapped around her shoulders, Gorentz spoke about the nonprofit animal resume she’s put her heart and soul into. Founding Kritter Krazy Gorentz founded the Kritter Krazy Reptile and Exotic Rescue in 2009 with a mission to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome reptiles and educate the public. Gorentz created the rescue right after graduating from high school, funding the rescue’s operating expenses with money out of her own pocket and using her home as the rescue facility. In the decade since, Kritter Krazy has been recognized as a nonprofit business by the state of North Dakota and is currently 17

applying for 501(c)(3) federal nonprofit status. Kritter Krazy relies completely on donations and volunteers for its operations. Gorentz is the founding director and secretary of the rescue. She also coordinates social media, adoptions and the rescue’s educational outreach events. In addition to operating the animal rescue and working a full-time job, Gorentz also fosters children. “I work full-time, and I have the kids and then I do this. So without having the volunteers to be able to come in and help out with that I would have zero free time. I don't get to just go home and clock out, it's always there.” In the last year and a half, the visibility of Kritter Krazy has rapidly increased and Gorentz is busier than ever. To support the increased influx of exotic pets and reptiles coming through, the rescue recently moved into a larger facility, allowing Gorentz to house more animals and support more volunteers. Rescuing “We focus on rescue, rehab, rehoming and education,” Gorentz said. The animals that Gorentz takes into her rescue come from across North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana and Iowa. She noted that there are a lot more reptiles in the Fargo-Moorhead area than one would think. These animals come from a variety of situations. Gorentz said evictions seem to be the cause for a lot of the 18 | NOVEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

small mammals like ferrets and rabbits she receives. The pandemic has also had an impact. With some pet owners being out of work, they have not been able to afford to feed their reptiles. “People get them and don't realize they get this big or they need specific care until they become overwhelmed,” Gorentz said. Gorentz noted that many people purchase reptiles as an impulse buy at exotic animal expos or purchase an animal online without doing their research ahead of time. The owners are then unprepared and overwhelmed upon realizing the care reptiles require. “Animals get sick and the owners either can't afford the vet or don't realize that there are those resources and don't know how to take care of them, so they just hand the animal off to us as a last resort,” Gorentz said. “The problem with that is a lot of people wait too long. It's hard, we lose some of them because of super preventable things that if people just acted sooner, the animal wouldn't have been in that situation.” Rehabilitation Once Gorentz intakes a surrendered animal, she begins a thorough rehabilitation process to ensure the animal is healthy. When an animal comes in, Gorentz conducts a comprehensive evaluation of the animal’s health and behavior to determine what special needs and treatment the animal requires to nurse it back to full health. Gorentz places all reptiles on a twoweek intake hold before they are adopted, so she can monitor the reptile to identify if it needs to be adopted by someone who has prior experience caring for reptiles. A lot of animals come into the rescue with health issues. Many new pet owners don’t know that reptiles don’t show sickness in the same way a dog or a cat would. “With reptiles, the amount of time that it takes for them to get sick, it takes twice as long for them to get better,” Gorentz said. “If they're sick, something’s been going on a long time before you can physically see it.” When the owner is able to see the reptile is ill, it is often too late. Gorentz will syringe-feed animals for weeks and administer antibiotic medications and vaccinations herself to nurse the animals back to health. Although sometimes tragedy does strike, many of the reptiles are able to make a full recovery. Such is the case of Gu-Bear, a red Argentine tegu Kritter Krazy received from a home that did not properly care for her. Gu-Bear was unable to open her eyes and had layers upon layers of shed stuck to her body. She had a severe foot infection that left her foot swollen and her mobility

stunted. When she first arrived at Kritter Krazy her general disposition was fairly lifeless and lethargic. But after five months of care, Gorentz had a breakthrough. “I remember I was sitting in my bathroom, soaking her in the bathtub, and she opened her eyes and looked at me and I just started bawling,” Gorentz said. “It just makes everything worth it.” A year later, Gu-Bear is still at the facility. She is still healing and has a long way to go until she is completely recovered. The majority of situations like Gu-Bear’s can be avoided if owners take into account what resources are available to them before purchasing an exotic pet. “Most of what I do is absolutely heartbreaking. It's great when they find homes, but the amount that don't or the amount that comes in too late is a lot.” Rehoming Since the rescue began in 2009, Gorentz has facilitated nearly 500 adoptions. Kritter Krazy conducts all of its adoptions in-person and institutes a comprehensive

application process to ensure the potential owner is fit to provide the care the specific animal requires. “I have to make sure that they're not sneaking animals into apartments where they're not allowed or that the applicant is 18 years old,” Gorentz said. “Once the application is approved, the person has to complete their enclosure. They have to provide everything. They have to show they are capable of taking care of it, committed to doing the work to get ready for it.” Once the application is approved, an adoption date is set up. Gorentz notes that while some adoptions only take a couple of weeks, others can take a couple of months. The rescue places an emphasis on adopting locally and won’t ship animals to other locations. Although, if someone from a different location is very interested in adopting a certain animal Gorentz is open to making arrangements for them to pick the animal up. “We have probably gotten two animals back in the last year and a half and that's it,” Gorentz said. “Our process is really thorough to weed that out. Our goal is that we don't see these animals again.” Education Gorentz is passionate about educating the public and eliminating stigma about reptiles. One of her primary methods for sharing her knowledge is the animal ambassador program, where she brings her reptiles to schools, businesses and even birthday parties.

situation or asking for advice about how to improve their animal's enclosure. Gonertz’s ultimate advice is to do your homework and ask plenty of questions, and she’s here to help. The reach and impact of Kritter Krazy Reptile and Exotic Rescue has grown rapidly over the past year and Gorentz has been blown away by the support of the community. “There were so many people that, just because of knowing me and knowing the work that we do and knowing how much energy and effort that I put into this, are willing to reach into their pockets and make this happen,” Gorentz said. Gorentz built Kritter Krazy from the ground up and her commitment to the betterment of animals is boundless. The resources that Gorentz provides continue to make a positive impact on pet owners across the region. “We really just like to give people the experience of the animals and teach them what their needs are and tell them their stories so that there are fewer of those impulse buys and people getting them without knowing what to do with them or how to take care of them.” Kritter Krazy Reptile and Exotic Rescue /KKRERESCUE kritterkrazyrescue@gmail.com

“If there are animals that have a really good temperament, that would be fit to be in a hands-on situation with people then we consider adding them to our ambassador program,” Gorentz said. Two of these animal ambassadors are Kwame the Nile monitor and Rayla the carpet python. These animal ambassadors can be an animal that is either very unique and would be a good educational example, or a more common animal such as leopard geckos, which are popular as pets. Gorentz also has the goal of increasing community engagement. “I want to work with the colleges and be able to be a place where people who are animal science majors can come and intern. I want to do things like reptiles and poetry and reptiles and yoga and do that kind of stuff to get the community involved.” People will even reach out to Gonertz asking for her expertise, such as questions about what animal would best suit their living 21

Take a

Walk on the Wild Side While some may be hesitant to embrace a scaled animal like their dog, the Exotic Animal Care and Husbandry Club (EACH) at Concordia College is eliminating the stigma associated with exotic animals and promoting widespread education and research of reptiles and amphibians. EACH strives to teach people how to provide a healthy habitat and quality care for exotic pets. Concordia students and EACH members Kelly Noah and Greta Duren are passionate about educating themselves and the public about the wonders of the animal kingdom. Noah and Duren’s responsibilities range from studying and caring for these animals to leading EACH’s fundraising and outreach efforts. EACH currently cares for over 40 species of exotic animals, which includes reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrates and a cockatiel housed in Concordia’s Integrated Science Center. Caretakers in the organization provide general care and maintenance every day, including feeding and cleaning enclosures.

EACH President Kelly Noah holds Gödel the red-footed tortoise with Jewels the cockatiel perched on her shoulder.

22 | NOVEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

“EACH has evolved into a course so students are getting credit for taking care of the critters, which is cool, but it's basically a class,” Noah said. “It's open to any and all students that have a strong interest and commitment to learning about exotic species.”

Leo

Three-Toed Box Turtle Habitat: Southern-central regions of the United States Lifespan: 25-40 years in the wild, 50+ years in captivity

Ruby

Tomato Frog Habitat: Field and forest of Madagascar Lifespan: 8 years in the wild, 10+ years in captivity

Franklin

Pixie Frog or African Bullfrog Habitat: Sub-Saharan regions of Southern Africa Lifespan: 15-25 years

Greta Duren holds Roxy Balboa, EACH’s Columbian red-tailed boa constrictor.

Meet the exotic animals EACH currently cares for over 40 different species of exotic animals. Among the plethora of critters are tortoises, several species of frogs, salamanders, three species of snakes, four tarantulas, a cockatiel and 100 axolotl larvae.

Gary

Greenbottle Blue Tarantula Habitat: Northern Venezuela Lifespan: Females can live up to 14 years. Males can live up to 4 years.

A campus favorite is Gödel the red-footed tortoise. Gödel can sometimes be seen roaming the hallways and study rooms with caretakers, sometimes even accepting snacks from students. Jewels the cockatiel will even hitch a ride on his back on one of these adventures. Known as a “cuddle bug” among the exotic animal bunch is a boa constrictor named Roxy. This five-and-a-half-foot long snake loves to constrict and hang on people’s shoulders to enjoy the high vantage point. One of the most notable animals though according to Noah is the pixie frog. “You’d think it’s small and dainty but it's this gigantic African bullfrog and they are the funniest things you’ll ever see.” The pixie frog is a bit of a misnomer. Pixie frogs are among the largest of frog species, with males weighing over three pounds. EACH’s pixie frog Franklin is female and will likely only get to about half the size of a male.

Roxy

Columbian Red-Tailed Boa Constrictor Habitat: South of the equator, primarily in South America Lifespan: 20-30 years

Recently though, EACH has been known for its axolotl breeding. EACH has two adult axolotls that recently bred for the first time. “It was a really fun project over the summer to raise them and document their development,” Duren said. “Axolotls are unique in the sense that they develop so quickly.” Axolotl’s tissue development is very rapid and their genetics are incredibly unique given their regenerative limb properties. For example, if a predator were to bite off one of the axolotl’s legs, the axolotl could grow the limb back with nearly the same function and ability as the previous limb. This regenerative ability has made axolotls a hot topic within stem cell research. Duren observed the axolotls as they developed from eggs to larvae, describing them as fish with a face. A specific goal that Duren has for herself is to develop a breeding program for the axolotl, so she can better study axolotl development and contribute to axolotl studies.

Jenny

Axolotl Habitat: Lake Xochimilco, Mexico Lifespan: 15-20 years

Milo

Russian Tortoise Habitat: Arid regions of Central Asia Lifespan: 25-40 years in the wild, 50+ years in captivity

Clockwise from top left: arrow crab, coral-banded shrimp, cleaner shrimp

EACH also recently acquired a saltwater tank, opening up the possibility for many new animals to be studied and cared for. “I have a lot of fish and a lot of cool invertebrates,” Noah said. “It's a really cool thing for someone studying biodiversity. The tank has evolved over time and it's presented some challenges but it's been interesting to learn and grow. That’s one of the greatest highlights.”

Gödel

Red-Footed Tortoise Habitat: Rainforest and grasslands of South America Lifespan: 20-40 years in the wild, 50+ years in captivity

The organization also cares for a variety of invertebrates, which are also used as model organisms in a variety of Concordia’s courses when studying topics such as evolutionary diversity. EACH raises colonies of dubia roaches and crickets, the food source of many of their exotic animals, both a cost-effective and healthy home-grown meal for their critters.

Caring for exotic animals The majority of exotic animals that are kept as pets are native to habitats thousands of miles away. The responsibility falls on the owner to research the animal to provide the proper environment and diet for these animals. Noah offered some general advice when it comes to owning an exotic pet. “Do your research before getting them, because then you can have a better understanding of their particular care and husbandry, and know what to look for when things deviate from normal.”

Darwin

Crested Gecko Habitat: Low shrubs and trees of New Caledonia Lifespan: 4-5 years in the wild, 15-20 years in captivity 26 | NOVEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

Owners of exotic pets will need to consider several factors, such as ensuring a proper enclosure is used. The enclosure may require controlled temperature and lighting in addition to promoting the animals’ natural behavior, like climbing or burrowing. It is also recommended the owner confirms there is a nearby veterinarian that can treat the animal before purchasing the exotic animal. As many exotic pets live much longer than traditional pets, the owner must be aware of the commitment they are making.

Michaelangelo

Gray Treefrog Habitat: Wooded areas of Eastern North America Lifespan: 7-9 years in the wild, 10-15 years in captivity EACH has several dune geckos. These geckos can drop their tail as a defense mechanism and regenerate it later.

Outreach and education The organization provides hands-on learning experiences that have proven invaluable to its members, many of whom are pursuing careers in biology. “I'm getting a lot of hands on-work, taking care of animals, taking care of reptiles and amphibians, which is really cool,” Duren said, who is studying biology and planning to go to grad school for wildlife biology. “It's been really exciting to work in the animal room and to get this kind of experience. I wouldn't trade it for anything.”

Bill and Anne

Clownfish Habitat: Coral reefs off the coast of Australia and Southeast Asia Lifespan: 6-10 years

The students also lead the organization’s outreach events. EACH has had a booth at the Exotic Pet Expo in Fargo sharing information regarding exotic species and selling baby axolotls to raise funds. EACH organizes several on- and off-campus events every year to promote continued education on exotic species. One of these outreach events is interacting with Cobber Kids, the early education program for children on campus. The children receive hands-on learning opportunities from EACH’s members. EACH has also hosted Halloween events in the past where the animals are in costume and the Critters and Cram event during finals week, letting students destress with the animals. In the past, EACH has also launched a volunteer program where members of the club can assist the animal caretakers with feeding, cleaning the animals’ enclosures and providing general enrichment opportunities for the critters.

Steve Irwin

Red-Eyed Treefrog Habitat: Rainforest canopies from southern Mexico to northern South America Lifespan: 5 years in the wild, 4-10 years in captivity 29

EACH’s plans for the future

Ellie

Corn Snake Habitat: Southeastern United States Lifespan: 5-8 years in the wild, up to 20 years in captivity

While EACH will continue to provide quality care for its exotic species, the organization’s members have their eyes set on continued education. EACH is currently developing a Critterpedia, which will be an encyclopedia of all the animals the organization has, used to have, how to care for exotic species and a bit about their natural history. The organization is also working on getting a native species habitat going with one of the professors at Concordia. EACH is trying to create an educational experience about native Minnesota aquatic species, whether that's bacteria or protists in water or animals like crayfish or minnows. A greater emphasis is being put on sharing the information EACH has gathered with the public. The group is looking to film videos of its exotic species and share it on a platform such as Youtube, which has become increasingly important as the opportunity for inperson outreach and education events has declined. “We want to educate people on what it means to take care of a critter whether that be a dog, a cat, a tree frog or red-footed tortoise,” Duren said.

Jewel

Cockatiel Habitat: Australia Lifespan: 10-15 years in the wild, up to 25 years in captivity

Everyone deserves the rewarding experience of having a pet, EACH just wants you to think outside the box of what that pet could be. “People might think exotic pets present a significant challenge, but I don't find them to be particularly challenging to take care of,” Noah said. “A little bit of research goes into it but they result in a really fulfilling experience.” Follow EACH on Instagram to stay up to date on their critters. @cobbersforcritters

Offering Far more I

BY Ty Filley Public Affairs Coordinator The City Of Fargo 46 | NOVEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

am frequently asked by friends and family who are not privy to the joy of living in Fargo why I choose to call the City of Far More my “forever home.” That’s a tough question to answer. A simple, straightforward answer might address the question, but really only to a small degree. To call Fargo ‘unique’ or ‘cool’ and leave it at that would be too simple, like calling a strawberry ‘sweet.’ Fargo, like strawberries, is too complex and nuanced to be summed up in only a few descriptors. In all honesty, there are definitely days when I wonder if the finger-numbing deep freeze is worth it, but at the end of the day, I know I belong in Fargo.

Of course, I am not alone in my appreciation of Fargo. The City has established itself as a regional and even national leader on a menagerie of fronts. Despite the challenges presented by the year 2020, Fargo has earned numerous recognitions as a place to live, work and play. For example, for the tenth year in a row, Fargo has landed on Forbes’ list of best places to retire. No that’s not a typo — retirees may prefer Fargo to Key Largo. But what does this ranking say about our home City? The criteria for ranking included elements measuring the quality of available healthcare, affordable housing and walkability, among others. Fargo scored highly in all three of those categories.

Again, Fargo’s renter-friendly status played a large part, as did its low unemployment rate. Fargo’s job market was recognized by another workforce information website, ZipRecruiter, as the hottest of 2020. An impressively high opportunity index (job openings to candidates) helped propel Fargo to the top of this impressive list. Likewise, a study from U.S. News and World Report found the same results — Fargo is a booming job market with ample opportunity; enough to propel it to number one status in a ranking of the best cities to find a job. But Fargo is more than simply a place to work. To truly be home, it needs to be a place where people can enjoy themselves as well. Fargo shines as a regional leader not only economically, but also in arts and entertainment. The City of Fargo has made a commitment to public art and ensuring everyone has access to culturally significant pieces. To name a couple of examples, the Fargo Civic Plaza Phase I, adjacent to the Main Branch of the Fargo Public Library, features the beautifully restored and preserved Sodbuster statue. The artist, Luis Jiménez, is widely known for his sculpture of a blue bronco outside of the Denver International Airport. The City of Fargo is proud to display Jiménez’s work in such a public setting, for anyone to enjoy. The Fargo Arts and Culture Commission recently recommended a modern, communitysourced design for a new water tower to be constructed near the Downtown Fargo neighborhood. This project blends public infrastructure with community art in a new and innovative way, which will be seen by thousands every single day.

As home of the only level one trauma center between Minneapolis and Denver, it makes sense Fargo would score highly in that regard. With average home prices well below peer cities and an income to rent ration that has earned Fargo the title of one of the most “budget-friendly cities” in the country for renters (by LendEDU) it’s not a surprise to see Fargo shine in that regard as well. Fargo, particularly in its downtown neighborhood, has long been recognized as a walkable and pedestrian-friendly City (including national distinctions from RedFin). The Metro also boasts more than 200 miles of bike lanes, making it a great place to enjoy an active lifestyle. As great as Fargo is as a retirement destination, the youthful and vivacious population is one of its huge defining characteristics. With a median age of a shade over 30 years old, many young people are choosing to begin their adult lives here — and for good reason. The favorable job market makes Fargo a highly desirable home. Zippia, a workforce and career information website, ranked Fargo as the best city in the entire nation to begin a career — over major metropolitan cities like Nashville, Oklahoma City and Salt Lake City.

Back to the original question: why do I choose to call Fargo home? I think a better question would ‘be why wouldn’t you.’ It is a place both for the young neophyte beginning their professional journey, and somewhere to call home after punching your final time card. It is a place of tremendous career opportunity, and teeming with art, expression and endless ways to keep oneself entertained. It is large enough to have nearly anything a major American metropolis could offer while being small enough to allow the individual to make a difference. That, in my mind, is the greatest element setting Fargo apart: the people. Fargoans are fiercely independent, tremendously loyal and caring for their fellow man. This is a city full of people who care. It is evident through the little things we witness each day: friendly strangers helping a wayward car stuck in the latest snowfall, the contact tracers of Fargo Cass Public Health working 12-hour days to try and keep us all healthy to the friendly faces of the Business Improvement District Ambassadors braving the cold to keep the downtown neighborhood walkable and inviting for both regular visitors and those new to lovely Fargo. It is tough to sum up what makes Fargo such a great place to work and call home, but I’ll give it my best shot. In short, Fargo offers Far More. 47

Lessons Learned by a Reluctant Dog Mom

iss Phoebe joined our family two years ago. She is a delightful little dog, with a slight underbite and a lower tooth that sticks out a bit. This gives her a perpetual smile. She's a fluffy gray and white Schih Tzu Bichon. She adores my son, and he adores her. She is deliriously happy when he comes home. Actually, she showers all humans with deliriously happy attention. I hope that her loud greeting bark might scare burglars away, but if they get close enough, they will be treated to slimy dog licks and springy jumps hindering any attempts at foreword progress.

BY Dr. Sue Mathison Catalyst Medical Center and Clinical Spa Founder PHOTO BY Hillary Ehlen 48 | NOVEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

We are her third owners. Her first family had a preemie baby that needed all available attention. Her second family was moving and life was full of chaos. We were asked to become her next family. My son had begged for a dog for several years. I wanted him to have one but I was also reluctant. It wasn't just the work of caring for another living being. It was fear.

When I was three, we visited my cousins in central Minnesota. I remember getting out of the car and being greeted by a very large dog. It jumped on me, and down I went. There was no biting, but I remember his growl, very big sharp teeth and slobbering lips. In my three-year-old mind, the dog was a Great Dane, big as a pony, but for historical accuracy, it was a Boxer. I was terrified, and fear of dogs

went to my core. And it was still there when Phoebe needed a new home.

When she is always up for an adventure, we celebrate her enthusiasm and energy.

I grew up in a dog house. We had many hunting Labs over the years, yellow, black and chocolate. My sister just got a beautiful "English Cream" Lab, whose coat reminds me of the foam on a latte. We also had two small dogs, a mini Daschund, Fredericka von Wienerschnitzel, and a mini poodle, Cinderella "Something" who answered to Cinder. I did my best to avoid them. No petting unless it was accidental. I was occasionally forced into service on the Dog Poo Crew. This did not bring me joy.

When she sniffs and explores endlessly during our walks, she reminds us to be curious and keep learning.

Despite my angst, Phoebe came home with us. I would do anything for my kid. And while I don't appreciate her Princesslike bathroom attitude, preferring the white carpet to the great outdoors, she does bring us joy. Science proves that pets are good for us. The dog walks get us moving, but the pure companionship improves blood pressure and stress levels.

When she falls asleep, flat on her back, she honors us with her trust that we will protect and care for her. These are good lessons for my son, and for Mom. And Phoebe has her forever family, us.

When Phoebe greets us so happily, she reminds us of unconditional love. When she eats our socks and underwear, she reminds us that she thinks we are delicious, despite the smelly, dirty parts of us. When she snuggles us, she reminds us of the healing power of touch. When my son speaks to her with silliness and throws her favorite toy, it reminds us how important it is to play.

MEET THE

By Juliette W

hen we heard this month’s theme was pets we knew we needed to connect you with Juliette Fiechtner of By Juliette here in Fargo and her amazing catnip toys. Far beyond that, let us blow your mind with all the crafty goodness she creates.

Tell us a bit about yourself: I grew up in Newark, Delaware, went to High School in New Jersey, moved to Arizona in 1994 and stayed there until I met my husband. He moved us back to his home of Fargo first in 2009, then again in 2014. I was a hairdresser for 22 years before being rear-ended by a distracted driver in 2016. The accident cause a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and ended my career. I spent the next three years re-learning how to cook, sew, read, etc. We found that my creative outlet was one of the best therapies — and still is. My Husband of 15 years is a pilot in the National Guard. Our two boys are 13 and 11. They draw, sew and sometimes paint with me.

50 | NOVEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

I started making in elementary school — a Montessori-type. We learned to sew, quilt, woodwork, paint, act and sing, among other non-traditional topics. I started selling my work at Unglued in late 2014 with my reusable food storage sets and expanded

from there. With their encouragement, I started selling at Craft Fests and online. What do you create under By Juliette? My main goal is to create reusable/regiftable items, to reduce our impact on the planet. The food storage uses ProSoft FoodSAFE® (look it up!). They last for years and replace ziplock quite efficiently. They are water-resistant and rinse out handily. My Matchbox Cards are snarky, cute, easy to secretly give and with no room to write, they can be regifted in a snap. Astrology Paintings are a passion of mine — maybe not so reusable, but they are ever-evolving and are never the same twice. Microwave Bowl cozies are an item I was requested to make. After trying it myself, it made sense to share the genius. These prevent burned hands, microwave messes and keep dips warm for long periods. Catnip Cat Kickers: My Aunt asked me to make them for her cats, and when our two

wouldn’t stop playing with them, I started selling them. We adore our fuzzy family members, happy to make anything for them. I make custom paintings, embroidery art and am constantly experimenting with new crafts. During COVID, I’ve made over 1,500 masks, donated over 400 and continue to make them. Your personal favorite product you've created so far? Astrology Paintings. I love them. I’ve made customs with landscapes, for weddings, for entire families. Big or small they’re interesting to look at and I combine my enjoyment of embroidery with my love of painting. Tell us about your catnip toys! I use high-quality catnip and put 1/4 cup catnip and cotton filler inside the tube. It started with scrap fabric and now I purchase fabric with the express purpose of making toys for cats. We’ve had them in the house for quite a long time. A quick squeeze and they’re back playing with them. Fun Fact: I usually fill them while waiting in the pick-up line at the kids’ school, so Lancelot doesn’t get in the way. Lancelot (6) loves modeling for the photos. Our

16-year-old Banzai rubs her face all over them, trying to lay claim to it before Lancelot steals it back.

What is a word that best describes you?

You create a large variety of crafty goodness — what's your favorite craft to work with?

What advice would you have given yourself 10 years ago?

This is an impossible question to answer. My Cricut Maker is a fun toy to play with. Sometimes I get really into making the tiny cards, with tiny stickers and snarky memes. I tend to spend the most time at my sewing machine. Cork is my current obsession. It is a tricky material and has a mind of its own.

Don’t get in your own way.

What is your favorite thing about having your own business? Since 2004, I’ve been self-employed. The only bad part is the pay. Everything else is tremendous. Since my injury in 2016, building my maker business has been challenging. Yet, it is so inspiring to be around other artists. It is such a supportive and encouraging community. What is the most challenging thing? Keeping my energy levels up. I still struggle with vision, reading and noise filtering, so doing in-person events wears me down. I don’t let it stop me, just allow it to remind me to slow my pace. Oh – and not buying too much fabric and crafting materials, my husband thinks I’ve got a craft supply store.

Passionate.

Where can people find your work? ByJuliette.Square.Site etsy.com/shop/byjuliettend At Unglued @ByJulietteND on Instagram When the world is normal, I love to be at Maker markets. How can our community support you especially in this time? Holiday shopping is key for a lot of makers, so check your social media for friends/ acquaintances that are makers and support them. Don’t be afraid to ask for a custom item, we love the challenge. Shop local. Wear a mask, wash your hands and stay home as much as possible. When you support any maker, you support us all.

FROM THE HEART OF EUROPE

To The North Of Normal

Dobrý Deň Community Members (Good Day in Slovak) In this month of gratitude, I wanted to take the time to have my mind expanded with a welltraveled stellar person. It didn't take too long to think of who could fit this description better than Lady Júlia Ozaniaková who hails from the heart of Europe. From Turany, Slovakia, the land of the picturesque high Tatras mountain range and castles such as the Bojnicky castle. She came to the North of Normal city of Fargo to finish high school at Oak Grove then transitioned to Concordia where she is currently a senior double majoring in Business Econ & Data Analytics with a minor in International Affairs. I mean what else can she add to this terrific menu of degrees other than future Ambassador for Slovakia at the UN in New York! Fun fact about Lady Júlia Ozaniaková is that she has been to 36 countries. Therefore, if you ever want to know anything about another culture or a foreign country from a first-hand experience: ask her! Chances are she has either been there or is planning to visit there soon! Fargo is lucky to have her call America's Heartland her home away from her Heart of Europe ancestral home. Until our humble paths cross again: Keep Smiling at Life! - Cyusa 52 | NOVEMBER 2020 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

Where have you all lived and what prompted you to move to Fargo? My parents are very adventurous, so growing up, we would always travel around Europe. Throughout my life, I lived in Slovakia, the U.S., England and spent my summers at summer schools in Poland and Hong Kong. I first started thinking about studying abroad in the United States during my freshman year at a bilingual high school in Martin, Slovakia. I admired the positivity and professional drive of my American professors. During my sophomore year, I spent a month in Chicago and absolutely loved it. Following that, the stars aligned and I received an opportunity to spend my senior year of high school at Oak Grove in Fargo. I believe that Fargo chose me and the 6-month winters really sealed the deal.

Where do you call home and since when have you called Fargo home? What has been your journey and what lessons have you learned in the FM area? Both Slovakia and the United States are my home. However, I do sometimes find myself in a little identity crisis when I can’t really pick one place I feel closer to. Slovakia is a place where I grew up and that’s where my family lives. The U.S. is a place where I have spent four of the most transformative years of my life and have gone through major personal growth. I have become more independent, more confident and learned to better appreciate everything and everyone no matter where I may be.

The story of your favorite student group on campus. My favorite student group at Concordia is Women in Business where I serve on the executive board. This club has only been active for little over a year now and it is amazing to see our accomplishments

since then. Our mission is to create a community of inspiring women that motivate and support each other. We regularly host women leaders in our meetings and actively volunteer in our local community. Since entering a maledominated field as a woman can be challenging, we believe in creating a strong community of female leaders that support each other and strive for success.

Share some misconceptions of the Slavic/Central European countries (media impacting one’s opinion). Slovakia is a beautiful country in the heart of Europe with a rich culture, gorgeous mountainous landscapes with glacier lakes and waterfalls and the most castles per capita in the world! In my experience, I have found that many people do not know much about the Slavic or Central European countries. Unfortunately, Central European countries receive a negative rep in the media because they are post-Soviet states. Movies such as Hostel or Eurotrip have portrayed these countries as extremely poor and underdeveloped which is simply not true. Although the economies of Central European countries might be slightly weaker than other Western countries, they are still well developed and are rapidly growing. Lastly, despite Slavic languages often sounding harsh, the Slavic people are known to be incredibly generous, kind and loving. Central Europe is a beautiful blend of Eastern and Western Europe and is definitely worth exploring.

from new opportunities, to be adaptable and to be open-minded. I’ve learned that although we may all be working towards similar goals in life, people tend to think, act and prioritize in accordance with their own culture. I believe that because of these experiences, I am able to look at things from multiple perspectives and consider alternative ways of getting things done. My exposure to numerous cultures has increased my open-mindedness and diversified my thinking, which I believe contributes to overall creativity and innovative thinking.

What is your vision for 2030? Where will you be and why? At this point, I don’t even know what continent I would like to live in. Currently, I am looking for opportunities in the international business and/or tech fields. I would like to pursue a master’s degree in economic or international law and work towards a career in either an international corporation or the United Nations. I have also been thinking about opening up my own company focusing on data analysis as well as developing programs on women’s empowerment in business and tech industries internationally. On a more personal level, I would like to continue traveling and learning more languages.

Little Slovak Dictionary Hello – Ahoj or Dobrý deň (Dobrý deň is more formal) How are you? – Ako sa máš? Thank you – Ďakujem I love Slovakia – Milujem Slovensko My name is... – Volám sa...

Galette An autumnal treat for all to make and enjoy.

ie crust is not everyone’s friend and that is OK. Work it too much and it madly springs back and pulls away from the edges of the pie tin making for a sad, shrunken version of what was supposed to be a beautiful display of your newly found pastry talents. Add too much liquid, fail to let it rest or work with it when it’s too warm, it becomes your enemy by sticking to every surface and refusing to cooperate. Let’s try something different this holiday season. The galette is our friend and is here to allow us stress-free creative freedom in the kitchen this holiday season and beyond. Galettes can take many different forms but they are all freeform - meaning no pie or tart tin to contain their delicious ways. All you need is a rolling pin and a sheet pan. This specific recipe is similar to pie crust, comes together in minutes and is even flakier than your friend who bails on all your scheduled virtual get-togethers.

A food processor is going to make this a breeze to pull together but if you don’t have one, do not fret! A classic pastry blender or a fork will do the trick. Butter bits are very important when your goal is to create something flaky (think pie crust, scones, biscuits). By not pulsing or blending the dough to smithereens you maintain coarse visible bits of butter, that when melted in the oven, create the mouthwatering flakiness that we very much desire with this dessert. Pie crust has gotten the best of many of us, nearly bringing us to tears with its finicky ways. The galette is a forgiving friend and a shoulder to cry on when the pie crust is being mean. It’s dependable, versatile and makes for a beautiful, rustic display of freshly baked greatness. This holiday season, fire up the oven, grab your apron and enjoy making this delightful dessert that will fill the room with the warm smells of autumn. Or maybe toss one together quickly and share it with your neighbor. Spread love through good food and stay safe.

Apple Galette Recipe crust:

• 1-½ c. AllPurpose Flour, spooned into a measuring cup and leveled • 1-½ sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into ¼” cubes • 1/4t. Salt (omit if using salted butter) • 1/3c. Ice water

filling:

Steps: • Preheat oven to 400°F • In a food processor (if you don’t have a food processor a pastry blender or fork would work) combine 1-½ c. flour and 1/4t. salt (omit if using salted butter). • Drop ¼” cubes of cold butter into the food processor. Process for 5-10 seconds until mixture becomes coarse in texture but you can still see bits of butter. If mixing by hand, cut with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture becomes coarse in texture. • Add 1/3c ice water (strain ice out to measure 1/3c. Do not add ice to the dough). Pulse 5-10 seconds until mixture resembles grains of rice. You don’t want to over mix. These little butter bits are very important.

• 5 medium apples (approximately 1-¾ pounds but doesn’t need to be exact), cut into ¼” thick slices • 1/4c. Maple syrup • 3T. Almond flour (or finely ground almonds) • 3T. All-purpose flour • 1 Heaping Tablespoon Mulling Spices (measure, then grind finely) • 1 generous pinch of salt • 1/4c. (4T.) cold unsalted butter, cut into ¼” cubes • 2T. turbinado/ coarse sugar (granulated sugar would work, too)

• On a lightly floured surface, dump out the dough and, using your hands, form into a disk. Roll out the dough into a roughly 16”x 16” circle. It doesn’t need to be perfectly round. Oval/oblong is just fine! Be sure it is rolled out to about an even ⅛” thickness though. Too thick and it won’t be flaky. Too thin and your filling will seep through the bottom.

Optional additions:

• Sprinkle the filling and crust with the coarse sugar and place on the center rack in a preheated oven.

• Fruit preserves to brush on top of warm pastry • Ice cream!

• Once rolled to desired thickness, carefully roll the dough onto your rolling pin and unroll onto a large baking sheet. • Refrigerate for 20 minutes. • Meanwhile, add your sliced apples and maple syrup to a large bowl. Stir to coat the apples. Sprinkle the flour, almond flour, salt and mulling spices over the apples and toss to coat evenly. • Remove chilled dough from the refrigerator and arrange fruit slices (can place in a special layout/design or simply toss them in the center and spread them out) being sure to leave a 2” gap between the fruit and the edge of the crust. • Place the cubes of butter evenly onto the apples. • Fold the crust over the edge of the filling. If it starts to crack, let it sit for a few minutes to warm up a bit more. After the initial fold, I put one hand on top of the folded dough and gently fold the next section of dough over my fingertips to create a clean fold. Then repeat your way around the entire perimeter of the pastry. If cracks occur, use excess dough to patch them.

• Bake for 45-60 minutes until the crust is a deep golden brown but making sure not to let it burn. • Let cool on the baking sheet. If any filling leaked out, using a thin blade or offset spatula, run it between the bottom of the galette and the pan to prevent it from sticking. • Best enjoyed fresh and flaky — either at room temperature. Add ice cream = perfection.
