Lily Updates – Day 16:

Got the zoomies so hard she crashed into the couch, the coffee table, and my shin

Was the main character at Home Depot

Barked at her own reflection. Lost the fight.

Chipped a tooth. Promptly tried to eat it...

Just sent in Lily’s DNA test and I’m on edge like I’m waiting for Maury to come out and say “You ARE the Pyranees!"
Please place your breed bets below! Winner gets bragging rights and my eternal respect.

Lily Updates – Day 13:

Slept through the night (we are blessed)

Learned "paw" and "other paw" which is useless but adorable

Stepped in her own poop

Went to her first puppy class!

This Saturday, I hosted Pups, Peaks & Pints, a dog walk + brewery hang with @souldogrescue and it was PURE serotonin. 🐾🍻

We hiked, we met adoptable pups, and then we grabbed beers at @averybrewingco because what else do you do after a walk with 20+ dogs??

Day 11 of being a dog mom: I’ve slept 10 hours total, cried 3 times, and googled “is my puppy happy” 47 times. I am both thriving and on the brink.

Things nobody tells you about becoming outdoorsy in your 30s:

- Your back? Not built for 14ers.
- You’ll start caring about socks. Like… a lot.
- You might cry on a hike and that’s normal.
- You have to bring a pair of backup knees on every hike...

Ok this is a little embarrassing to admit but does anyone else deeply believe stuffed animals have feelings? Ever since I was little, I get super upset if someone throws or roughly handles a stuffed animal. I thought I'd grow out of it but NOPE! Am I crazy???

I know this was a while ago, but I'm still worried about the fact that the The MAHA commission plans to "assess the prevalence of and threat posed by” stimulants used to treat ADHD.

I hike because punching people in the face is frowned upon. #NatureTherapy

If you have family or friends or you yourself use Medicare or Medicaid...

or if you want there to be people deploying evidence-based prevention for infectious diseases — like measles — so that your best friend’s 2 month old baby doesn't die for a completely preventable reason...

My husband and I recently had dinner at a pretty upscale restaurant. He was having steak, and I ordered sushi. Our waiter sets down a steak knife for him, and then proceeds to set one down in front of me as well.

The most important hiking lesson I've learned: No coffee that morning unless you wanna poop in the woods 💩

I want to go on a cruise to Alaska but I have NO IDEA where to even start. I've never been on a cruise, so I'm not sure what to look for. I just know I want plenty of adventure excursions like kayaking, walking on glaciers, whale watching, etc. Does anyone have any recommendations???

Story time! The most disastrous hike of my life…

2 years ago I went with a group of 9 people to do a 15 mile hike from Aspen to Crested Butte & back the next day.
The hike was 4 hours away from home & we had to start early so we rented a cute Airbnb to crash at the night before near Aspen.

Creators - Is anyone else having an extremely hard time getting partnerships lately? I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I've had 2 collabs this year and they were both UGC 😭
