Colorado has undergone dramatic transformations throughout time, especially compared to how it looked hundreds of millions of years ago, long before becoming a state. While the appearance of Colorado has changed significantly, pieces of the past remain in existence and remind us of what once was.

Although Coloradans might not talk with a distinct, bold accent that others do, it doesn't mean that people from the Centennial State don't have one at all. But what exactly is a Colorado accent?

During the early 20th century, events like the Dust Bowl, widespread droughts, habitat destruction, and unregulated hunting caused much of middle America's geese populations to dwindle. At the end of the 1940s, it was estimated that there were only about 800 migrating geese left in the country.

Whether it's taking our dogs with us on outdoor adventures or to a local brewery for the day, the canine companions of Colorado sure do get around!Even in the wintertime, many Coloradans still bring their dogs along when venturing out for fun in the snowy weather. Some pups love to get their paws on powder alongside their humans while doing things such as snowshoeing or cross-country skiing - it's great exercise for both parties and avoids having to leave them cooped up during the colder months.
