Celebrating National Dog Day – Because Home is Where Our Dogs Are
Yesterday, we celebrated National Dog Day, a reminder of the unconditional love, loyalty, and joy our furry friends bring into our lives. Whether you have a playful pup who greets you at the door or a wise old companion who has been with you through the years, dogs have a special way of making every house feel like home.
National Dog Day isn’t just about celebrating our pets—it’s also about recognizing the role they play in our families and our communities. Dogs encourage us to explore the outdoors, connect with neighbors, and even slow down and enjoy life’s simplest moments.
Here in Colorado, it seems almost every car has a dog or two riding along, with happy faces out the window and a trail of nose prints left behind. With endless trails, rivers, and wide-open spaces, our pups thrive just as much as we do. From hiking along mountain paths to cozy evenings by the fire, they’re part of the memories that make a house truly feel like “our place.”
🐾 Ways to Celebrate (Even After the Day Has Passed):
-
Take your dog on a new adventure—whether it’s a trail you haven’t hiked yet or a dog-friendly park in town.
-
Support your local shelters and rescues through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word about pets in need of a forever home.
-
Give your pup a little extra love, whether that’s a special treat, an extra walk, or a snuggle session on the couch.
As we reflect on National Dog Day, let’s also celebrate the sense of comfort and belonging that our pets bring into our lives. After all, finding the right home isn’t just about square footage or location—it’s about creating a space where every member of your family (paws included!) feels at home.
🐕🏡 If you’re dreaming of a Colorado home where both you and your four-legged friends can enjoy all this beautiful state has to offer, I’d love to help you find it.
