SUDOKU HERE’S HOW IT WORKS Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Senior Spotlight

~ Featuring senior Gunnison Valley pets who have found their forever home ~

“Pumba is the sweetest old man! We adopted him when he was 14.5 years old thinking he would only live six months tops as he is a big guy, but two years later and he is still going strong.

Pumbie’s favorite things include all foods and treats, neck scratches from dad, snuggles, eating snow, rolling around in the grass, chasing Sharon (a cat) away from his food or the bedroom, and following mom everywhere. He is not a subtle dog as you can hear his nails clacking on the floor, constant panting, old man hacking, or snoring pretty much all the time.

He has definitely made his spot in the family and we love him!”
