The last weekend of summer is now upon us! It’s amazing to think that less than two weeks ago we were waking up to our first dose of winter. While social distancing has been a new reality since the middle of March, we’ve all still been able to get outside with our pets to enjoy the sunshine and the hot temperatures.

One of the best things about being a pet to a loving family is you aren’t entirely aware of what is going on in the world around you. Cats, dogs, and other companion animals are able to step outside and enjoy every moment surrounding them, even during a pandemic!

The season of working-from-home gave Larimer Humane Society staff a chance to reconnect with our pets and capture the moments in photos that we wanted to share with our community. Whether it was sitting poolside with a bowl of their favorite food or sleeping under the summertime shade, our pets were able to do it with us by their side.
