A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

When it comes to agility in the Animal Kingdom, don't sleep on the kangaroo.

The unique animals can run at speeds of over 30 miles per hour, and can bound as far as 30 feet in one jump. Add the fact that some grow to be six feet tall and you've got yourself one of the quickest, biggest, fight-ready animals that's ever walked the Earth.

Despite all of those characteristics, some people still think that it's okay to test kangaroos out in the wild. I'm not sure what the thought process is, but whatever is going through someone's mind right before they...

Just recently, I remember a situation where I was just walking down the street of my local town and I stumbled upon a stray dog who had been living nearby. He mostly receives help from other people nearby but his living conditions are not ideal. It really got me thinking just how hard life can be for strays.

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

Dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages are cute and fun but also a lot of work. Keeping your dog well-mannered may take a little training. Even that, however, can be cute and fun. How to train your dog takes trial and error. However, once trained, it sets in very quickly, and most dogs understand what’s expected.

How to Train Your Dog to Behave

When puppies come into the world, they are fragile little creatures who depend on their mama. They need her selfless love and care in order to survive. The following story is about four newborn fur babies who found themselves all alone in a forest, lying on a pile of leaves and trembling with cold.
