I’m resurrecting this article I wrote for the Daily Camera as my favorite houseguest, my best friend, arrives tomorrow.

Like many Boulder residents, much of my life is dedicated to my dogs. I have special wood steps allowing them access to my (and their) bed, my shower was specifically designed to accommodate a detachable head (for bathing), and the car seems to remain filled with hair and Mt.

As an 8-year resident of New York City, I had become accustomed to renting and skilled at taking someone else’s home and, through necessary and strategic investments, making it mine.
