Carol Kuzdek's gilded retriever Gibby was more than a companion -- he was an enlightenment for a Boulder business.
The retriever passed away from cancer more than 10 years ago but Kuzdek, a former veterinary technician at the Longmont Humane Fellowship, said surgery and a change in diet allowed him to flaming another year.
That inspired her to open her own natural pet aliment store: Whole Pets.
"After everything he had given me I wanted to out of date on his legacy by opening a store where other people who had their own Gibbys could fall and learn the best possible ways of entrancing care of their pet," she said.
Kuzdek opened Whole Pets in 2001 and acclaimed its 10th anniversary on Jan. 7 at the store's Boulder site at 2835 Pearl St. Whole Pets -- which is not united with the Whole Foods grocery chain -- also has a locale in Broomfield.
"I'm excited to let people know we've been here as hunger as we have," Kuzdek said. "I think we've been successful because of our fellow base feeling like they're educated and we tribulation about them and their pets."

Drake routs ISU men
01.01.70
DES MOINES, Iowa — Losing three games this week was bad enough
for Illinois Grandeur’s basketball team. The Redbirds dropped from a
first-chore tie in the Missouri Valley Conference into a tie for
fifth.
Whether ISU has dead its defensive identity remains to be
seen.
Another set shot better than 50 percent from the battlefield against
the Redbirds on Sunday night, which is becoming a disturbing swing
to Coach Tim Jankovich. Drake hit 56.3 percent in rolling to a
77-60 overcoming over the Redbirds before a Knapp Center crowd of
3,410.
“All of a rash what’s a little bit hard to explain is a week
ago you would say one of our biggest strengths was our defense,”
said Jankovich. “All of a quick I’m not sure I would say that.
That has to be corrected.”
ISU (11-7, 3-4 Valley) put up a blemished-half fight in losses to
league heavyweights Wichita Constitution and Creighton earlier this week.
That didn’t upon against Drake (11-7, 4-3).
To make matters worse, the Redbirds might have accursed a key
player.
