(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home. Winks was truly given a second chance at life, and now all he needs is a family to call his own.

What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version. As for strawberries, frozen ones are the easiest choice. If you'd rather use fresh, add at least two cups of ice until you reach a nice, frozen consistency.

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.

Aurora, CO

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

We have a cold front moving offshore today taking the last of the showers and thunderstorms out to sea. We will see improving weather conditions from west to east as skies clear out. Skies will go partly to mostly sunny as the day wears on. Dew points will be dropping and temperatures this afternoon will reach the mid to upper 80s. High pressure is building into the Northeast as this pattern of cold fronts passing every 3 days or so continues through the weekend and into next week.

Weather improves across the Northeast, thunderstorms possible over the weekend, 4th of July outlook

Blazing heat with feels-like temperatures approaching 110° weren’t quite enough for mother nature, so she decided to throw in the chance for severe thunderstorms on Tuesday as well. A cold front will push through both Tuesday and Wednesday, with opportunities for intense thunderstorms each days. Already today (Monday), there have been damaging storms in Northeast PA, and this is only the start as the front gradually works south.

Beryl's remnants will be lifting through the Great Lakes Region today. This will lift a warm front through New England during the day. This warm front will likely slow down or even stall out across central Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine due to an approaching cold front from Canada. This front will provide the focus for a swath of heavy rainfall, where multiple inches of rain will be possible. Areas north and south of this front will see lesser rainfall. Areas south may also see some strong to severe storms in the warm sector.
