Ah, the good life: whitewater rafting, swimming, Frisbee, bonfires and more! From this description, you’d assume I was describing a day in the life of a river guide, but I’m not! I’m talking about our very much loved, furry, four legged friends! The dogs of The Adventure Company (TAC) have got it made!
Our pack of Colorado dogs can always be relied on for a cheerful greeting, an offer for a game of fetch, or a cuddle for an afternoon nap.
"Head Boat Dog"
Samson, who we have hired as “Head Boat-Dog”, is 120 pounds of pure love. His ability to get every person on property to pet him daily is amazing! If you have a hand free, he can find a use for it! He’s definitely the leader of the pack! Though he’s not into playing fetch, he will most likely love to show you his latest toy!
"Jada Potata"
Jada, “Jada Potata”, is very particular about who she’ll play with. For example, although she’s a great lover of fetch, if other dogs are running for the same toy, forget about it….she’d rather be by herself! If you are looking for her in a big pack of dogs, you’d be better off checking her bed! She is NOT a social butterfly! Don’t let her fool you though, she’s a sucker for a good back scratch or a few loops through your legs!
Fletcher, Maggie and K.J.
Maggie, the “resident old lady” or the “fun police”, is not as concerned with being pet as she is with getting her barks in during a fetch session or eating other dogs food when they aren’t looking! She’s pretty indifferent when it comes to people other than her parents, but she is definitely a sweetheart!
K.J., or “Junior”, is the puppy of the pack! She is smart, enjoys running and playing, likes to hang out in rafts and absolutely LOVES to snuggle! When given the chance, she will nuzzle your neck and lay in your lap until you just can’t take it anymore! Look for her in a shady spot around property cooling off from her latest adventure!
Fletcher, or “Fletch”, is 100% into playing fetch. As a matter of fact, he carries a Frisbee around that says “Hi, I’m Fletcher. Please throw this!” He’s a great dog, super smart and willing to hang out with anyone or do anything! He’d be much obliged if you threw whatever he brings you!
Payton goes rafting!
Payton, a frequent visitor at TAC, has an awesome easy-going attitude towards life. He’s content following around his buddy Mark, laying around the office or even galloping with his long legs towards a ball with the pack! Don’t leave food around though, or you will be sadly disappointed come meal time!
Samson loves to give hugs!
Big or small, dirty or clean, we love our dogs! Their unconditional love for all of our employees, whether they are the person to feed them or not, is inspirational!
We hope that a little bit of their big hearts carries over into our work on the river, in the office or driving the bus!
