Family Reunited With Stolen Pup

Frenchie, a 4-year-old female bloodhound, was stolen from the back of her owner?s pickup truck Thursday at the Steaksmith restaurant at El Gancho.

Robert Espinosa, of Albuquerque, said Frenchie was in the pickup in an electric blanket hooked to his truck?s power supply around 7 p.m. when someone took down the tailgate and stole her. Espinosa said his two daughters were ?depressed all night? after their pet was taken.

But this story has a happy ending. Friday evening, Espinosa said he got a call from Lamy, where someone had his dog and he was able to pick her up and take her back home.

SF Residents Can Recycle Their Tree

The City of Santa Fe, Santa Fe County and the Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency will accept residential holiday trees and holiday lights for recycling for free.

Santa Fe City and County residents can drop off their un-flocked and holiday trees without ornaments at these locations:

Buckman Road Recycling & Transfer Station (BuRRT), 2600 Buckman Road; Eldorado, Jacona and Stanley county transfer stations; Newman?s Nursery, 7501 Cerrillos Road; Payne?s Nurseries, 304 Camino Alire and 715 St. Michael?s Drive; Franklin Miles Park, Camino Carlos Rey and Siringo Road; Ragle Park, Yucca and Zia Road, near the Yucca entrance; Frank S. Ortiz Park, 160 Camino de las Crucitas.

Holiday lights can be dropped of at the Buckman and other county transfer stations; Capital Scrap Metal (will pay 80 cents per pound), 1162 Cooks Lane; City of Santa Fe Environmental Services Division, 1142 Siler Road.

All ornaments and lights must be removed from holiday trees. Flocked trees are not accepted, because the flocking will contaminate the mulch, which is used in parks for landscape and erosion control.
