Henderson Store in Golden is reaching out to all surrounding communities about a lost dog who has taken up residence at their place.  It is a shy, very sweet dog, but their dogs do not take kindly to new dogs. If you recognize this dog please call them at
505-281-7136.   They do not want to have to call the County.  It is being well taken care of for time being.

Go to READ MORE and then to DOCUMENTS to see a pic.

After being delayed, beginning tomorrowk, April 15th, construction will begin on the Frost Road/14 roundabout.  Project is to last about 440 days.
I found this link as to what the completed roundabout will look like.

Hopefully the link connects properly  --    Frost Road Roundabout

Weather is getting nice - and that means that critters will be appearing around Paa-Ko.  Rattlesnakes (and all snakes), and bears.
So far, a bull snake has been spotted, and signs of a bear have been seen (tipped over garbage can in back of house).

Take care and be alert when doing work in your yard.  Snakes love to hide under bushes around rocks, and even wrap themselves around the base of outdoor planters.  

Please keep garbage cans inside until trash day.  If, for some reason, you cannot, please make sure the lids are secured to the bin so it is more difficult for a bear to open.  

Haven't heard if our resident Paa-Ko mountain lion has been spotted this year or not.......

In any case be vigilant when outdoors, especially when children and pets are running around your yard.

Please send me photos to put in newsletter if you get some great or unusual shots of wildlife.
