The Pawd Life

Welcome! We support people who live with active, outdoor oriented dogs. We believe the impact of pets on our lives is profound and we celebrate the Human-Animal bond. We find health is improved when you have an animal companion. We talk about veterinary medicine, health, trails and gear. We invite experts to explore various topics and we invite you to join us.

We are Craig Lassen, the veterinary professional and Timber the dedicated trail dog.
We spend our lives riding bikes, hiking and exploring in the mountains. Craig has worked in veterinary medicine since 1998 and Timber was born in 2014. Craig is currently the hospital manager of VCA Lakeside in Big Bear, CA. Timber is the local Frisbee catcher, trail ambassador and recreation manager. Together they host the Paw'd Life, a site dedicated to the health and lifestyles of active dog families. Our beliefs rest upon the power of the Human-Animal bond and its immeasurable impact upon our lives.
