Ever wondered who's caring for your furry friend while you're away? Forget the stress of kennels and boarding facilities. David Westfall, co-owner of Inside and Out Pet Care, reveals a refreshing approach to pet care that prioritizes your pet's comfort and familiar environment.

The journey began when David's wife Kim Plache transformed her hobby into Northern Colorado's premier pet sitting, dog walking, and behavioral dog training company. What started as a side project during her CNA career blossomed into a thriving business dedicated to animals' wellbeing. Recently, David joined full-time after retiring from apartment maintenance at 63, bringing his own passion to their growing enterprise.

What makes Inside and Out Pet Care special? They come to your home, where your pet knows their food dish, favorite resting spots, and bathroom areas. Their dedicated sitters are personally introduced to your pets, establishing trust and familiarity. From dogs and cats to horses, mice, snakes—and as David jokingly mentions, even elephants if needed—they accommodate all creatures with personalized care plans. "We take care of your pet and love your pet like we love our own," David emphasizes, highlighting their commitment to the American Kennel Club's principle that animal welfare comes before all other concerns.

Beyond business, David revealed his personal side—his love for music, vintage pocket watches, fly fishing, and his distinctive 1880s-1890s fashion style that frequently draws comments from passersby. His philosophical approach to life's challenges reflects the same thoughtful care they bring to their pet services.

Ever wondered what makes a truly exceptional firearms instructor? Meet John Pashain of 7 Hills Security, who brings more than two decades of military and law enforcement experience to his firearms training business in Northern Colorado.

What separates John from other instructors isn't just his impressive background, which includes nine years in the Army Guard and service with the Pima County Sheriff's Department. It's his personal journey of resilience. After a career-ending wrist injury that kept him from firing a weapon for over a decade, John now teaches despite experiencing pain with every trigger pull. This firsthand understanding of overcoming obstacles infuses his teaching with unique empathy and perspective.

7 Hills Security offers comprehensive firearms instruction, security courses, and de-escalation training, with plans to introduce executive protection studies for a new national standard. As a verified instructor for Colorado's recently expanded concealed handgun permit classes, John focuses intensively on fundamentals and safety, challenging the misconception that firearms themselves are good or bad rather than tools whose use is determined by their handlers.

Perhaps most valuable is what happens after training ends. Unlike many instructors who teach a class and send students on their way, John serves as match director for monthly defensive pistol shoots at the Northern Colorado Rod and Gun Club. These scenario-based practice sessions allow students to refine their skills in a safe, supervised environment among like-minded enthusiasts.

Whether you're new to firearms or looking to enhance your skills, connect with John at john@7hillssecurity.com, call 970-213-8686, or find 7 Hills Security on Facebook. Experience training that prioritizes safety, fundamentals, and ongoing practice opportunities with an instructor who truly understands the journey.

What happens when you combine Alaska-tough craftsmanship with Colorado-sized heart? You get Hale Home Doctor, the comprehensive home service professionals bringing genuine problem-solving expertise to Northern Colorado homeowners.

David and Heidi Hale's journey from the rugged Alaskan construction landscape to becoming trusted local contractors offers a masterclass in perseverance and adaptation. Having started their business in 2006, they strategically relocated to Colorado seeking both greater opportunity and a chance to fill a critical gap in the market: reliable, high-quality remodeling and repair services. Their two-year process to secure proper licensing wasn't just bureaucratic hurdle-jumping—it was laying the foundation for a truly full-spectrum service where they could confidently handle everything from simple door installations to complete basement transformations.

What truly distinguishes the Hales is their appetite for challenges other contractors avoid. David lights up when describing projects involving century-old homes with concrete issues or basements with complex flooding problems. This problem-solving spirit stems from deep personal experience overcoming obstacles, including David's journey to educational achievement despite limited formal schooling, and the couple's successful navigation of a two-year legal battle to secure access to their own property.

Behind the professional credentials (including specialized lead paint certification for historic homes) beats the heart of a family-centered business. When not transforming clients' homes, the Hales tend to their 75-acre homestead with their four children, raising their own milk, meat, and eggs—a self-sufficiency that mirrors their professional approach. Their commitment to clear invoicing, punctuality, and treating customers "just like we'd want to be served" isn't just good business—it's their family values applied to every project they undertake.
