If you were a dog, where would you want to live?
It’s almost June and we have barely started the polls for 2008 so expect a series of them over the them to start now.
The first neighborhood pool is to talk about what neighborhood is the most dog friendly. If your dog got a vote on where you live, as mine does, what neighborhood would be picked. Think about access to parks, nice paths for strolling on, and of course playtime with others.

Morning Photos
Just wanted to share some pics (iphone style) from one of my favorite early morning Urban Denver paths. Grab your dog, your running shoes, or your bike and hit the trail at Confluence park heading towards Invesco. You can swing into Starbucks in REI for some java and then enjoy the sights of Elitch Gardens illuminated by the rising sun. Spectacular!! Don’t forget to wander into the Centennial Gardens that no one seems to know about.
Just thought a nice wrap up to this weekend would be to highlight some of this cities beauty. Now back to the work week… dang!! [Read more →]

Woof Woof! Dogs to be allowed on Patios in Denver
I needed to get a happier post up here and the news just hit me a few minutes ago. Cheer up Denver, here is some fun news.
That’s right, the City of Denver is going to allow dogs on cafes. The rules are simple, self serve only. That means that a coffee shop where you grab your coffee and go is fair game for our lovable pups but if a waiter comes out to greet you forget.
One small step for man, one huge leap for puppy kind.

No Rockies World Series Tickets Until Tomorrow (also Rockies, Buckeyes, and Broncos)
If you don’t want to wait until 5 PM here is the scoop on what I heard is happening.
I was told I can walk away from my computer screen, go grab a shower, and relax for at least the rest of the evening. No more ticket sales this afternoon, or this evening. At the earliest it will be tomorrow. I still recommend you wait until 5 PM to hear the official release but that is the unofficial official scoop.
As you can tell, I am pretty excited about the opportunity to go to see the Rockies play in the World Series. [Read more →]

Far too sad
This is a brief blog entry.
In yesterday’s Denver Post there was the saddest article about a sweet pooch that might have to be put down due to the suffering they are experiencing from the recent Dog and Cat Food poisoning accident.
This is terrible. I can’t imagine, can’t even conceive, of how awful this must be. If you have a loved family member of the canine or feline persuasion and haven’t heard about this visit this link. Tainted pet food products are being recalled and have claimed lives already. This isn’t brand new and most of you know, but on the off chance that someone out there hasn’t heard I wanted to spread the word.
