I got my eye on you, Cooper
Here’s simple yet stylish slip lead from Avery. It’s braided leather and of the style and short length that’s perfect for quick walks where you don’t want your dog straying too far. Note, if your dog doesn’t have a good heel or is prone to pulling out, you’ll know it as soon as you slap this lead on. $30.

The Big Shrimpy Original
Dogs don’t need much help when it comes to sleeping. They’re amazingly proficient at it. If there’s a couple square feet of soft turf somewhere out there, they’re probably already snoozing on it. But I’ve noticed something about the Big Shrimpy Original dog bed my two dogs have been snoozing on for the past year or so. They’re addicted to it. I’ve had a few other beds floating around the house, and there’s no shortage of space on the carpet and backyard. Yet every time I pull the three-inch thick Big Shrimpy bed out from under mine, both dogs practically jump over me to stake out their spot on it. (more…)

Oh no, Danger, don't get up. Can I bring you anything?
Among dog-friendly hotels, the Little Nell, in downtown Aspen next to the Gondola terminal, is king. Danger and Cooper were greeted with dog beds in their room and dog bowls full of treats and toys wheeled up on a cart. While we biked the trails and roads around town, the doggies were treated to walks by the excellent staff. The list of dog amenities includes:
- Personalized brass identification tags
- Food and water bowls
- Dog beds
- Pet menu selections
- Dog walking and sitting on request
- Recommended groomers
- Petiquette, a handbook of guidelines for pet and pet owners
- Recommended pet-friendly hiking trails
- Epicurean treats
