A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Sandy Paws Resuce Inc., a foster-based animal rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced Miracle, a pit bull terrier who is approximately one year old, and is now looking for her forever home. According to the nonprofit rescue organization, “Miracle was dumped at a lake in Texas and rescued by a good samaritan who has been fostering her since.” This compassionate individual provided Miracle with a temporary home and the love she desperately needed. However, her foster parent recognizes that Miracle deserves even more. “While her foster hates to let her go, she knows there is a better life for Miracle in MA,” Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. noted.

Costco's Kirkland brand has built a reputation as a maker of quality grocery items, including its wide array of alcohol. From Kirkland brand bargain wines and craft beer to a variety of hard liquors, the bulk retailer's private label produces a large number of generally well-reviewed adult beverages (with the exception of Kirkland light beer which was a complete failure). Costco doesn't make the alcohol but sources it from various beverage companies, some of which are well-known in the industry (like the Sazerac company which makes Kirkland's spiced rum). Sometimes, it's a mystery who the distributor is behind the liquor since it's not always printed on the bottle. As for Kirkland's XO Cognac, the label indicates that Peyrat-Associés & CIE is the company that makes the fine spirit.

The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.
