Today, this blog post is dedicated to Henry James III. For those of you who don't know Henry -- he is a 6 year old, 8 pound Yorkie with no predecessor, is worthy to be a third and runs our household like he's the boss. He's basically the best dog in the world. This post may be a little shameless as I divulge all the secrets surrounding Henry.

Anyways, let's get to the point. Today, Henry & I are sharing the best dog parts about Denver. One of the coolest parts about living in Denver is that it is 100% dog friendly. From hotels to restaurants to the Home Depot, Henry goes everywhere with us. Don't believe me, he even has a carseat for our adventures.
