    Idaho’s first Flyball team, the Boise FlyDogs, is looking for more dogs and their humans Mar 02, 2022
    Show notes

    Idaho is well-known as a dog-loving state, in fact we’re consistently listed as one of the most dog-friendly states in the country. So when Jody Metcalf moved to Boise from Alaska she was surprised that there were no “flyball” teams in Idaho.

    What is flyball? It's a dog sport where two teams of dogs relay race against each other while holding a tennis ball and jumping over obstacles!

    Jody decided to start up an Idaho team because she says it’s a great way to bond with your dog, meet new people, and have a lot of fun!

    Joining Idaho Matters are Jody Metcalf, the founder of the “Boise Flydogs” team and her dog “Ivy.”

    Reuters is reporting that 100,000 Ukrainians have fled their homes after Russia's invasion started on Wednesday night.

    While some are leaving the country, most of them are staying and trying to find any safe space away from the fighting.

    That’s exactly what happened to Eugene. He’s 30-years-old, works for an app company, and had to flee his home in Kyiv Wednesday night.

    Idaho Matters senior producer Samantha Wright got the chance to talk to Eugene Thursday night about what he’s seeing in Ukraine.

    Hope and help for caregivers in Idaho Feb 25, 2022

    Right now in Idaho tens of thousands of people are caring for a loved one who cannot care for themselves. The Idaho Caregiver Alliance estimates one in four Idahoans are taking care of a parent, grandparent, child, spouse, or other member of their family.

    It can be a heavy burden and caregivers often struggle to find the resources they need.

    Feb 26, the Idaho Family Caregiver Conference will offer tools to caregivers and will, for the first time, offer a Spanish track, because hispanics can be disproportionately affected by the role of caregiving.

    Joining Idaho Matters are Dr. Sarah Toevs, the director of the Center for the Study of Aging at Boise State, Destinie Triplett, the director of community partnerships with the Idaho Caregiver Alliance and Adrian Rodriguez, a public health major at Boise State and a past caregiver.
