WEATHER
  Verndale, Minnesota, weather forecast


This is Baby, she is a three year old minature pomeranian. Her owners are Cal and Cindy Wolf of Eagle Bend. Baby is "spoiled". She loves to ride motorcycle with Cal. She gets mad when she can not go with him, she lets him know when he returns. She does most of the charity rides. She also loves to sit in the window of the house and keep people in line that are to close the her property line. She is a big part of our family. Thanks for letting us share her story. Cal & Cindy Wolf
