Yesterday I had some time to kill so I stopped into Lowes in Shakopee to check a couple things out. After I grabbed the item that I came for I wandered around the store looking at various things for about a half hour. As I was walking by the customer service desk I noticed an employee with a Lowes vest standing there and holding onto a yellow lab that I thought was a guide dog for the blind since it was wearing a harness with handle. Not thinking anything more of it I walked to the self checkout lane and proceeded with my purchase. As I'm scanning my item I was rather abruptly pushed in the legs from behind, as I looked around to see what was going on I see that same employee and dog standing behind me and the dog is sniffing up and down my legs and feet, they don't say a word and walk away a moment later.
What were they searching for? I completely understand I may have looked suspicious just wandering around the store for a half hour but what could that dog have smelled on me that would have given them reason to stop me? I can't see a company like that hiring dogs that would sniff out bombs, guns, and drugs like in the airport or other public places. Just wondering and not trying to bash the company, though it doesn't really make me feel like going back if I'm going to get the once over from a security dog every other time I'm in there.

Rivergroup, Are you on the east or west side of the lake. When you say before 7am what time you going out? 5am? How deep of water? Just looking for starting point for this coming weekend. Thanks!
As I understand the challenge, there are regulations regarding water pumping and circulation from the lake into holding tanks for minnows. It makes keeping minnows alive and healthy, as a sustainable business, very difficult for lakeshore businesses.
We ran out of minnows and couldn't find any at the bait shops. So we fished with leeches last night and had great success. Just about all of them we caught were 14 - 17 inches. Shallower bays have warmed up and they are in their feeding at dusk.
Shamrock did have rainbows and chubs but their tank broke down. They’re out of the minnow business. River group is right, though. A leech caught a 22” er this morning.
