The best greeting at the end of the day is coming home to your furry friend who is beyond excited to see you. This enthusiasm and love can change anyones day, this is why dogs make great companions. Dogs can also offer comfort to those who are in need. Service dogs can be an alternative therapy to help a patient heal faster, offer pain relief, and brighten their mood.]]> 2018-09-15 21:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kcottingham/8swl857z9393/wish/281805702 kcottingham https://padlet.com/kcottingham/8swl857z9393/wish/281807115 We have two dogs, Harvey and Zoe. Zoe is a eight year old Shitz Yu/Yorkie mix. We always say she is more like a cat because she never barks and is usually very calm. Harvey is a two year old Bull terrier/Corgi mix. We got him at the humane society, they told us he would be a German Shepard/lab mix. We kept coming home to see if he grew any taller, but that never happened. Despite the mix up in breeds, we love him and couldn't be happier with the fun mix. He is a fun loving, people person, ball of energy dog. Harvey and Zoe both get along so well, and love to play with each other and look out the window.]]> 2018-09-15 21:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kcottingham/8swl857z9393/wish/281807115 kcottingham https://padlet.com/kcottingham/8swl857z9393/wish/281808137 Life as a dog mom is fun! Once you get past the potty training, and puppy stage it's easy. Usually my husband or I will take Harvey on long walks, hikes, or runs everyday to tire him out. It takes a lot to get all of Harvey's energy out. Zoe prefers not to walk as much, she is very particular about certain things. Zoe does not like to walk in the snow, wind, or rain. The reason she is more like a cat is because she prefers to be indoors and does not like to do a lot of walking. It is a rare event when we can get Zoe to hike. Half of my photos on my phone are of the dogs, our dogs are our babies for now and I love being a dog mom. ]]> 2018-09-15 21:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kcottingham/8swl857z9393/wish/281808137 kcottingham https://padlet.com/kcottingham/8swl857z9393/wish/281808954 Our energetic, loving Bull/Corgi mix]]> 2018-09-15 21:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kcottingham/8swl857z9393/wish/281808954 kcottingham https://padlet.com/kcottingham/8swl857z9393/wish/281809253 Our sweet, loving Shitz Yu/Yorkie mix.]]> 2018-09-15 21:52:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kcottingham/8swl857z9393/wish/281809253 kcottingham https://padlet.com/kcottingham/8swl857z9393/wish/281809516 A few of our favorite dog friendly hikes around Boulder are: Sanitas, Sunshine Canyon, Coot lake, and Eagle trail head. Coot lake is a small loop but there is a beach you can let the dogs off leash to take a swim, it's a great spot to beat the summer heat.]]> 2018-09-15 21:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kcottingham/8swl857z9393/wish/281809516 kcottingham https://padlet.com/kcottingham/8swl857z9393/wish/281809832 My dad has a place in Nederland, that we love to escape too with the dogs. In Ned the dogs can be off leash and hang out in my dads yard. We also like to hike the variety of different trails around Ned. Some of our favorites are: Hessie Trail, the 4th of July trail, and Caribou ridge. Caribou ridge has different trails you can hike, and some amazing views. It's nice to be able to get away from Boulder, and have a mountain escape that is close by.]]> 2018-09-15 21:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kcottingham/8swl857z9393/wish/281809832
