Just moved here and I love wildlife and this seemed like the best bet to see wildlife in the area. I'm just wondering how likely on a single visit one is to see wildlife? I saw from photos there's bison. Is there anything else?
Hi all! I am in my first week in Denver and I'm enjoying it so far. I haven't been able to see a whole lot yet, but I did go to Estes and loved it. I'm nursing a foot injury so while I'm an experienced hiker, I'm taking it easy.
Can anyone recommend a hike that is sort of the best bang for it's buck? Short, easy, with great views? Bonus points if an alpine lake is involved.
I just moved here and I heard so many mixed reviews about the aquarium. Maybe it’s because I’m an aquarium girly (worked for and subsequently got fired by AZA), but I loved it. But it also had mandarin fish so I’m easy to please
I'll be at Cortland Alameda Station, 415 S Cherokee St.
I am going with Colonial Van Lines for a move from DC to Denver. I'm a bit frustrated because they said the van would come on either Thursday the 13th or Friday the 14th and that I'd find out 24-hours in advance when they'd be there.
I have to reserve parking for my building and I asked if I could reserve a spot for both days, but I'm expecting them to say no.
Is this standard for moving companies? Are there any that will abide by the exact day chosen?
I started my MSW program this summer and I'm enjoying it. That said, I went into it wanting to be a therapist, but that interest is shifting a bit. idk what it's shifting to, yet, but I'm not sure I want to be a therapist anymore, when actually thinking about the day to day job.
When I don't have an answer for what I want to do after the two year program, I start to panic.
Does anyone else relate to this? Do you struggle with wanting to have all the answers? How do you navigate it?
It's an area that I'm considering specializing in but I'd love to learn more about that process and what that therapy looks like.
ETA: I should've been clearer - this is about people who work with people who neglected and/or hoarded animals
I'm moving after living in my apartment for 5 years. I've had a wonderful experience working with a private landlord and have been really lucky.
I'm taking down adhesives and the paint is coming off with it. I'm really stressed because my landlord is definitely going to have to paint and I feel guilty. Should I warn him? Leave it as a surprise? I don't want him to be mad at me.
I live in DC and I'm moving to Denver. When I was in DC, I had two cats. One was my soul cat, Carmen, who I had for 14 years since she was a kitten. She and I lived in a basement walkout for a few years, and would go on walks together in the courtyard. She had a spot she especially liked and I have very fond memories of. She died in 2022 and I always wanted to spread some of her ashes in that spot, but hadn't because I'm afraid to open the urn and see the ashes. I'm afraid of what I'll see.
After Carmen died I adopted Cali. Cali lived with me indoors the whole time. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I had a hard time bonding with Cali, I adopted too soon after Carmen and had unprocessed grief.
That is unnecessary to the question but I felt like sharing it. Would it be wrong to spread some of Carmen's ashes but keep all of Cali's?
I’m panicking a bit. I took a few hits of some sativa to do some chores and I forgot I have an interview at 3. What if it doesn’t wear off by then? I’m not someone who does interviews/work while stoned and I’m so nervous.
Edit at 12:26pm - listening to this and gonna take a nap. set an alarrm for 2:15.
ETA 2: The interview went really well I think! Who knows if I'll get the job, but I'm happy with how it went (it's a work study role for grad school)
I feel so numb. I am a daily journaler and I lost my journal on vacation. Initially I thought I left it at home, but I can't find it anywhere, so I must've brought it with me and had it out and forgot it. I don't remember doing this but that's the only option. I called the hotel and they said to call back in the morning when their head of housekeeping is there.
I am so sad and I feel so numb. I started this journal on January 1 as a fresh start after a horrible 2025. I pour all of my feelings into it. I'm so disappointed in myself for losing it.
Has anyone else lost a journal? I realize this sounds dramatic, but how did you get through it?
How was it?! I've seen them live twice so I've been really lucky! I decided to do an impromptu trip to see some wild ponies before I move across the country. I think that's a good excuse?
This will be my first year at DU (I'm a grad student) and the first time I'll be eligible for work study. Is there a time when it's normal for most positions to be posted? It seems quite slow right now.

Hey all - I am really interested in working with a niche population - animal caretakers like veterinarians, zoo keepers, aquarists, wildlife rehabbers, etc.
Is it possible to do that niche work without being in private practice? I don't really see myself interested in working in PP, but it might be a niche enough interest that I'd have to be.
What might the path to working with this population look like?
