Hi Everyone! My name is Dan and this is my dog Tesla. He's two now and I've had him since he was 8 weeks, but I still consider myself fairly new to the breed. Having grown up with Labs, the transition to a Husky has had some bumps along the way but has been an extremely positive experience on the whole. Anyway, I'm here to share my experiences and learn from those wiser than myself (which is probably everyone here).

Welcome! we have a TON of CO peeps here what lake you at in that pic?
where in CO are you?

Thanks! I'm living in Boulder as of 5 months ago (my girlfriend is doing her Ph.D. at CU, and moving to Colorado isn't exactly tough to sell me on). Before that we were in Connecticut for 2 years for her Masters, and Chicago prior to CT.

That photo was taken at Brainard Lake in mid August, and is one of the rare times Tesla actually wanted to play fetch. I think he was trying to show how big and strong in was in the face of competition from my parents dog.

thought i knew those peaks, i have hiked 3 of them
well if your ever up for a drive i host the local Denver meet ups, we have one this Sat. https://www.facebook.com/groups/67707519125/
we will be in that area a lot this winter hiking/snowshoeing as we try to stay away from I-70 and ski traffic.

I'm in CO too, but I'm in the Springs! Bleck! I love Boulder, if we ever decided to move back here after we're done with the Army that's where we'd like to live.

Hope we can see you at a meet up! You should try going Saturday

Making it up one is on my short-list of hikes, but first I have to get past the point where I'm sucking wind at the top of each staircase The hike from there up to Lake Victoria and back had me Done For The Day. The transition from sea level to 5000 feet hasn't been kind on my hiking endurance.

Oh cool. I heard about the H2M2 from someone I met at Valmont a few days ago. Can't remember her name, but she has a copper colored female about a year old and works at a children's theater in Boulder. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to make it this weekend. I have a prior engangement with some folks in town who are trying to put together a scootering group for the spitz-inclined (although they can be flaky from time to time, so maybe they'll cancel). Next time, though, and I'm always up for a good hike or snowshoe.

I've never been down to Colorado Springs, but from what I've heard it sounds like it'd be a drag if you like the Boulder atmosphere. I quite enjoy living here, myself. Definitely a positive change from central Connecticut.

Welcome! Tesla is gorgeous!

Welcome! We are in Littleton!

Welcome! I'm in Aurora and am from central CT. It takes a little while, but you will get acclimated. It took my husband and I about a year...

Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone.

We were living between Middletown and Durham, but I worked down in Guilford. Very nice place to live, but I had a really hard time fitting in. The culture in that area is just so different from my rural midwestern farmland upbrining that I usually felt like that awkward guy.

gorgeous picture! and Welcome!

i think i need to relocate to CO, hardly anything or anyone here in iowa!

Kale and I welcome you from California Tesla is beautiful!

Jeez, more people from Colorado!

Welcome, that picture of Tesla is awesome and I just love the name! I don't blame you for liking Colorado over Chicago either, I grew up a little ways south of there

I think should stop people from CO to log on here we need east coast people mostly from Rhode Island lol

Welcome and please post more pictures

We're a menace aren't we? Multiplying like so many ants...

Welcome, from Littleton too! Def. try to come to the meet ups if you can. We try to go too as many as we can. It's a great way to have a peaceful weekend with tuckered out pups.

Welcome, from Broomfield, CO, I go to CU beautiful campus.

Welcome to the forum!

I grew up in Monroe, CT and went to high school in Milford. I had a couple of friends who lived in Guilford. Many friends and family still back there-- my best friend is in East Windsor.

I'm sure you'll fit in well here with the CO Contingent.... they seem to be everywhere these days

Welcome! Love the name! You should have Tesla meet up with Dietra's Danzig! Now that's a concert I would pay for! Lol!
