  • Next week Governor Dayton is gonna undergo surgery to fix a problem with

  • his hip. The 67-year-old who is a former hockey player says though

  • stitches are a badge of honor. You know that you're married to a hockey player. I

  • know and I do not.

  • I think stages make me sad. But you know the way he feels about it, right?

  • They're little tougher - they're a tougher breed those hockey guys. Exactly, exactly. Well I got to spend some time with

  • the governor yesterday

  • and his residence in Saint Paul. Had a chance to ask about his reelection and

  • his health, but

  • the thing that he really got excited to talk about was his two dogs.

  • Governor Dayton: I signed a letter to the President. Chris Egert: This is not

  • the Governor Mark Dayton you're used to seeing on TV.

  • He's taking me out back behind the governor's residence, dressed

  • in ripped Levi blue jeans,

  • a rugged jacket, and a camouflage hat.

  • Governor Dayton: You ready, Wanamingo? Ready?

  • Drop it. Drop it. Chris Egert: This is how he looks when he's doing his favorite thing in

  • the world.

  • Spending time with his dog. Well, this looks like they definitely keep you busy, Governor.

  • Governor Dayton: Oh, they're great friends, you know? I come home from work and

  • everybody hates me, and they wag their tails.

  • Just great. Just great friends and companions.Christ Egert: Was it President Truman who said "If

  • you want to have a friend in Washington, bring a dog?" Governor Dayton: And I said if you bring two dogs, the dog will always have a friend. Chris Egert: Dayton

  • grew up with a black German Shepherd, and knew that was the kind of dog that he wanted as an adult.

  • He took a pair with him to Washington DC while serving in the US Senate.

  • Governor Dayton: They're just so smart, and they're so sensitive,

  • they're so loyal, and they're just so much fun.

  • Oh, yeah, you gonna give me that frisbee, Itasca.

  • See, Itasca's not even close. I've never even got -

  • I don't think I've ever touched Itasca's frisbee.

  • Christ Egert: Wanamingo, a female, and Itasca, a male, are fun, energetic, and quite frankly a little stubborn when it

  • comes to sharing their frisbee.

  • Governor Dayton: She does not believe in letting go. You gotta let go.

  • Chris Egert: She's tenacious. Governor Dayton: Oh yeah, she's tenacious

  • and she's used to winning. Chris Egert: Governor Dayton is currently seeking reelection.

  • How are you feeling about the reelection?

  • Governor Dayton: You know, ask me on November 5th.

  • There's just too many uncertainties and too many unforseeable.

  • Christ Egert: Where are you at on a running mate? Governor Dayton: Pretty close.

  • Better give me that frisbee. I want that frisbee. So she'll play keep away now, you see, she'll fake

  • and

  • she's very good. Chris Egert: He also shared some new details about the hip surgery

  • that he has planned for February 6th at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.

  • Are you apprehensive at all about this procedure? Governor Dayton: No.

  • I mean I'm not now looking forward to having a brace on that immobilizes the hip.

  • Doctor first preferred a full body cast, but

  • I didn't think - I'm packing enough down here as it is; I don't need a body cast to

  • further expand myself. Chris Egert: Sure, they give you an idea as far as like incision or

  • any of that kinda stuff?

  • Governor Dayton: Uh, you know, I'm an old hockey player, so incisions

  • are badges of honor. I lost count of my stiches

  • quite a while ago. Christ Egert: Honestly, it was a lot of fun to spend time with him in this relaxed

  • atmosphere.

  • Mingo and Itasca bring him great joy.

  • He hates to leave them while on the road for state business or on the campaign

  • trail.

  • Governor Dayton: Give me that frisbee, Mingo. I want that frisbee right now.

  • It's like talking to legislators, you know? You say you wanna do something, and they

  • have - they just ignore you, you know? Christ Egert: While the governor does have a regular dog-sitter that he

  • uses from Burnsville,

  • he did kind of offer me a shot at the job.

  • C'mere boy, let me have that. Huh? C'mere. C'mere.

  • Let me have that. Governor Dayton: You're hired.

  • You got a couple hours a day, see what happens when a challenger comes in, you just wipe out the incumbent.

  • He just just said you're hired. The governor hired me.

  • Elizabeth Ries: That's great. That's very good to have a backup plan. Chris Egert: Awesome. Now Governor Dayton

  • was supposed to leave

  • tomorrow to go to New York and help lobby to bring the Super Bowl to the new Vikings stadium in

  • 2018, but he decided to stay behind help deal with the state of emergency

  • due to the propane shortage that's happening right now.

  • We only got to spend about a half hour with him, then it was back inside

  • off with the camouflage hat, off with the with the ripped up blue jeans and then back into the

  • business suit.

  • Elizabeth Ries: Back into the suit, business to attend to. Well, that was very nice of Governor Dayton

  • to have you over.

  • Very fun.
