These small bugs are all over my dogs' run on the east side of the house in zip code 80808. The bugs seem to like the patches of long, dormant grass. There are hundreds of them and they hop like grasshoppers. Do you know what they could be?

I would say that you have leafhoppers. They are a common insect that suck sap from plants. This fact sheet has more information on leafhoppers: https://extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/insects/leafhoppers-on-lawns-5-608/
