Blue Hotel

Jake is thankful that there are plenty of pet-friendly hotels these days. The Loews Denver was our temporary home for awhile.

Everyday Is Like Sunday

Jake and I were asked to speak at Camp Bow Wow’s annual meeting at the Omni Interlocken. The Bow Wow Buddies Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for canine cancer. They also fund a yearly scholarship at CSU Animal Cancer Center. The oncologist that oversees Jake’s clinical trial, Dr. Scott Hafeman, was their first recipient.

Brand New Friend

As expected, the Westin Riverfront was phenomenal. The hotel was ready for Jake once again and treated him like a star. He met a lot of the staff who missed seeing him the first time but have been following his story ever since. One of them even brought her Golden Retriever, Stella, to hang out with Jake in the lobby for awhile. (Thanks, Courtney!) All in all, a very memorable weekend in a scenic location. I’m so glad we repeated this particular outing. And who knows…maybe we’ll be able to do it one more time?

Turn on the Bright Lights

The town of Avon did their fireworks show tonight. The Westin is in such a perfect location to see them. We just walked out the front door and watched them from the lawn. Jake has never been afraid of loud noises like fireworks or thunder. I think he just loves to be in the middle of all the action.

History Repeating

This process has been about trying new things, mostly. But you know, some things in life are so good that maybe it’s OK to go back and try to recreate them. You might not duplicate the entire experience but it’s possible that you’ll get something just as good, but with a slightly different twist. Jake and I decided to head back to the mountains for the holiday weekend. Dan joined us this time at the Westin Riverfront.
