Their habits change — they seem drowsy or stop playing and eating — and it’s obvious your critter isn’t feeling well, but the question is, how bad it is and what needs to be done. Having an animal become sick can be a frightening experience for pet owners, mostly because our pets can’t communicate what they’re experiencing or need and it’s often difficult to put their symptoms into relatable context. Add to that the revelation at the veterinarian’s office that a beloved compa...
And up they climb. Eastern New Mexico University’s football team continues to play well and continues getting recognized for it. Last Thursday, the Greyhounds went on the road and pummeled West Liberty 45-24. They were recognized Monday by moving up a spot in a national poll.

Roch, a Logan Republican, will not run for re-election when his term expires on Dec. 31, 2018.
