As a stereotypical Coloradan I check all the boxes: I have overlapping chaco/birk tanlines, a fur baby (Pepper, social 4 y/o, spayed pit/collie/cattle dog mix), a mortgage I can barely afford and I love being outdoors. I have a fenced in yard with a doggie door and a hybrid WFH/office schedule that allows me to be flexible if you have an anxious/elderly/puppy dog that needs that extra human attention. I enjoy doing obstacle course work with my dog (I have a setup for the backyard) and can work on training with yours too if you're interested, or we can stick to playing and walks! As an animal lover I was that kid who had every pet from a dog and cats to a pet rat once, gerbils, hamsters, and parakeets. I think the only time I did not have a pet was freshman year dorms and if I didn't have a roommate I probably would have tried to sneak a pet in! I have experience working with elderly dogs and dogs who need medications including IVs.
