Most relevant bit:

The puppy was part of a litter of 12 at a July 20 event hosted by the Moms and Mutts Colorado Rescue for Pregnant and Nursing Dogs, also known as MAMCO. The event took place at the rescue's shelter at 2721 W. Oxford Ave. in Sheriden. The address is also sometimes listed in Englewood. The puppy, along with its littermates, came from Texas and was unvaccinated for rabies at the time of exposure. At the event, the puppy's litter was known as the "July Shepherd Mix" litter and may also have been referred to as the "Celebrity Kids" litter.

Rabies is bad, kids. Like, 100% fatal, bad. The pup had to be euthanized for testing and it's likely all its littermates will be, too. The article said they're trying to track down 17 people known to be in close contact with the infected pup, but anyone who was at the event needs to be wary. Rabies can be passed via saliva, so if the puppy licked you or your dog, there's a danger.

People who attended the event should call the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment for screening.

They can call the agency's hotline at 303-692-2700 during business hours or 303-692-9395 after hours or on weekends or holidays. Or they can email cdphe_zoonoses@state.co.us CDPHE staff will determine whether attendees need post-exposure treatment.

It's also worth noting that post-exposure treatment only works before symptoms show up. Once you or your pet start displaying symptoms, it's too late. Again: rabies is 100% fatal.

The article doesn't mention how the pup contracted rabies in the first place and it doesn't mention how old the pup was, but a bit of quick research shows that the vax schedule for rabies isn't until 14 weeks, so if the puppy was younger than that (and this was a "nursing dogs" event) it's possible it was just too young to have been vaxxed. There may be more nuance to it than that and there's a lot of details that aren't mentioned, but I don't think this is a case of "ugh, Texas" or anything like that. Shelters, at least, take health & safety seriously. Any employee spouting off about animals not needing vaccines is going to get kicked to the curb.

I really hope that the CDPHE has a system in place to cover the cost of the post-exposure treatment since it can cost anywhere from $1200 to $6500 without insurance and that's going to be impossible for a lot of people, even if the alternative is a slow and painful death.

What a mess. I hope everyone (and their animals) comes through this safe and healthy.

Initially, I was disappointed with Colorado due to persistent cloud coverage that hindered our ability to fully appreciate the magnificent mountain ranges surrounding Denver. Given the current weather conditions, we were still able to make the most out of our time. Exploring downtown Denver and little towns such as Idaho Springs during our decent from Mt. Evans.

As my 15th out of 50th state visited, Colorado marked the beginning of my journey through middle America and sure has lived up to my expectations of being an intriguing destination, especially for it’s geographical uniqueness.

Few places can boast the combination of (a slight) city atmosphere and the opportunity to witness such breath taking vistas within such a short distance away. Denver truly embodies this rare fusion, and despite the clouds obscuring our views, the cities allure remained undiminished. It served as a reminder that even when our plans don’t unfold exactly as anticipated, there is always something special to appreciate in every destination we explore.

The Health Benefits of Living in Colorado’s Front Range 

Entrepreneur Spencer Schar recently relocated to Denver to explore new professional opportunities. This article will look at migration to Colorado’s Front Range and how a variety of health benefits have enticed new arrivals from near and far. 

Colorado’s Front Range is a mecca for health enthusiasts seeking an active and vibrant lifestyle. Renowned for its abundant sunshine, natural beauty, and wealth of opportunities for outdoor recreation, the area is home to several towns and cities, each boasting its own activities and unique charm. The attached PDF explores the history of Colorado, providing an overview of its inhabitants over the centuries. 

Exploring the History and Peoples of Colorado

The Front Range attracts health enthusiasts and travelers alike with its incredible natural scenery, with the mighty Rocky Mountains providing a stunning backdrop. The region is known for its clean air and active lifestyle options, with a strong emphasis locally on wellness and outdoor recreation. The attached infographic contains an overview of some of the most popular outdoor pursuits in the United States today. 

The Most Popular Outdoor Pursuits in the United States in 2024

Boulder attracts visitors from across America and beyond with its running, cycling, and rock-climbing opportunities. It is not uncommon to see Boulderites riding rollerskis, unicycles and even more unusual modes of transport. Set amidst the Flatirons in the Rocky Mountains’ Front Range, Boulder boasts close proximity to numerous natural wonders, including the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Rocky Mountain National Park, and Red Rocks amphitheater in Denver. The attached video provides an overview of exciting events staged at Red Rocks amphitheater throughout 2024. 

With obesity rates creeping up across the United States, Front Range residents rank as some of the country’s healthiest citizens. Leaner and more active, they are less likely to develop a range of common health conditions, including diabetes. According to a report by the Metro Denver Health and Wellness Commission, the state benefits from a very sophisticated health care system, as well as an active environment, making it popular with people who enjoy outdoor activities. The report revealed that, in Colorado’s metro area – including Denver, Boulder, Jefferson, Broomfield, Douglas and Adams counties – less than 5% of adults have diabetes, compared with 8% in Cleveland and 11% in San Antonio. While 54% of Coloradan adults are classed as overweight or obese, this is significantly less than Houston, where 65% of the population is classed as overweight or obese. Metro Denver’s overweight/obesity rate came second after San Francisco, at 52%, the report revealed.
