Malina and Bella. Two partners in crime, and too smart. They can reck havoc and be man’s best friend as well.They pull so hard on a walk, you’d wish there was a ton of snow and you had a sled.[/caption]
Bodhi was born and raised in the mountains of Colorado. After a detour in CA this past year, he just turned 12 and is on his way back to his home, Nederland! He is truly an “Old Town” soul and can’t wait to live the rest of his life with that crisp mountain air he loves SO much. That’s my Nederland dog![/caption]
Charleigh is a sweet, spunky Shih Tzu we adopted in 2018. Her name was given to her by the young daughter of one of the vets at the shelter who helped care for her. We promised her we’d keep the name, crazy spelling included![/caption]
Rose loves to sit in the birdcage. Sifa will chase Rose out of her cage and Rose doesn’t even try to hurt the birds. She is always gentle and loves her kitty hugs.[/caption]
Sasha is a true mountain dog! She loves all seasons but especially the snowy days! She’s got that look here that seems to say, “well, what shall we do about this!”[/caption]
This is Smokey Bear! We believe he is a Maine Coon mix, very large at 17lbs. He was my girlfriend Victoria’s late father Dan Smith’s cat. After Dan passed unexpectedly last year, we adopted him. He has quite the personality and is an absolute pleasure to have around![/caption]
Sugar Baer is a rescue from Jack Russell Terrier Rescue Colorado. She loves to play with her brother, Yota (another rescue), squeak her toys, and say “hello” to everyone walking by her house.[/caption]
