Opinion: How I knew it was time to euthanize my dog after 13 years of companionship

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:26:17 GMT

Nearly every day my dog walked beside me. We walked throughout the city, on mountain trails, and along lakes and streams where, freed from the leash, she would eagerly jump in. Sometimes I was on horseback, snowshoes, or my bike, she keeping up in merry stride. I tested her patience by foraging for wild fruit when she wished to press on. I waited while she immersed herself in some enticing scent or took a luxuriant roll in the grass.For almost 13 years, my dog was my partner in adventure, my comfort in loneliness, and my loyal friend. Taking that final walk at the vet with her this week was a devastation that has left me inconsolable. Yet it was an act of devotion.(Photo courtesy Krista Kafer)Every first-time dog owner, indeed every owner of a beloved pet, wonders what they will do in such an eventuality. As much as we would like pets to die peacefully in sleep and relieve us of this grave responsibility, it is rarely that easy. Human beings can see beyond pain and suffering, as a h...

Sleep like the dead on the 13th floor or in Dracula’s den, plus other themed rooms at Colorado hotels

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:26:17 GMT

If you’re superstitious, you’ve probably noticed a lot of hotels don’t have room 13s or floor 13s. But at Mesa Verde Motel in Mancos, the odd-numbered room is one of the most special places to rest your head because it’s imbued with a dreamy, intergalactic theme complete with special lighting and some alien design features.Seriously spooky decor on the 13th floor of The Curtis Hotel in Denver. (Provided by The Curtis Hotel)In late 2021, when the owners acquired the 15-room roadside motel in southwest Colorado, they noticed that one of the rooms was wildly different from the rest, from the flooring to the walls, to the tiles and vanity. So they leaned into the uniqueness even harder and gave it a themed makeover that detours from the modern cowboy design defining the rest of the rooms.While a lot of hotels play it safe with beige boxes, some in Colorado — like the Mesa Verde Motel, where nightly rates for the themed room start at $147 —  are offering more playful ro...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:26:17 GMT

U.S. regulators approved the sale of chicken cultivated from animal cells. The USDA gave the green light to California-based Upside Foods and Good Meat, to sell what is now referred to as "cell-cultivated" meat. The firms had been racing to be the first in the U.S. to sell meat that doesn’t come from slaughtered animals."This is a historical watershed moment. This is the moment that food and meat changed for the better," Upside Foods COO, Amy Chen, told KTLA while celebrating the news for the first time. The approval allowed the two Golden State companies to offer what was previously referred to as “lab-grown” meat to restaurants, and eventually grocery stores.“Instead of all of that land and all of that water that’s used to feed all of these animals that are slaughtered, we can do it in a different way,” said Josh Tetrick, co-founder and chief executive of Eat Just, which operates Good Meat.In 2019, the United Nations Climate Change Report called for lower meat consumption to help ...
