Pets Of The Week: Cricket And Romeo
Fresh out of foster and chirping his way directly into your heart, Cricket has hopped into Española Humane’s Puppy Patch at Ojo Santa Fe like he owns the place (and honestly… he might).

Now he’s all shimmer and shine, with exotic good looks, soulful eyes and a rear-to-ear waggle. Apply on our website to schedule your serenade with Cricket at the resort in Santa Fe!

Op-Ed: The Constitutional Promise … Why The Right To Counsel And A Day In Court Define Our Justice System
By CYNTHIA FRY
Retired Judge
New Mexico Court of Appeals
Deb Haaland’s campaign for Governor has chosen a troubling line of attack, often used against lawyers, criticizing Sam Bregman for representing people accused of crimes.

Our system accepts that both the government and the accused have attorneys. They battle it out in a courtroom and a jury decides guilt or innocence. This system protects all of us from government abuse.
