Local veterinarian returns to Ukraine to help bring sense of normalcy to pet owners FORT COLLINS, Colo. (KDVR) -- A Fort Collins-based veterinarian headed back to Ukraine last month, this time with a truck and mobile vet clinic to continue to help locals.“We took the first mobile vet clinic to Ukraine, had it built in Arizona then we took it on a boat, took about six months to get it over there," volunteer vet, founder and national director of The Street Dog Coalition Dr. Jon Geller said. Colorado veterinarian helping families fleeing with pets at Ukraine border FOX31 first interviewed Dr. Geller in March of 2022 when he went to the Ukraine and Romania border and set up a vet clinic. The clinic there was to help fleeing refugees receive passports so their pets could travel to other European countries safely.A year and a half later, Dr. Geller said Ukrainians were starting to return, so he and some volunteers made their way back to help. This time, though, they actually went into the country.“I was concerned about working in a war zone but I was also anxious to se...

Patriots teammate gives ominous response about Matthew Judon’s injury ARLINGTON, Texas — The Patriots already lost a game on Sunday night. Now they have to hope they didn’t lose their best defensive player, as well.Based on the reaction from one Patriots teammate, the initial diagnosis for outside linebacker Matthew Judon’s injury doesn’t sound good.ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday night that Judon suffered a lower bicep tendon tear” in the Week 4 loss to the Cowboys.“How much time he will be sidelined for still is being evaluated,” Schefter reported.Defensive end Deatrich Wise called Judon’s injury “devastating.”“But he was in good spirits,” Wise said. “We will be with him mentally throughout this year, and I know he’ll be with us too. There will be some guys behind him who will be stepping up and filling in his spot.”Wise said he didn’t know how long Wise was expected to miss.“Just hate when guys get hurt,” Wise said.
