Not just for dogs…wobblers rock!
It has been so hot that the dogs are not getting hikes. They eat out of puzzles, so figured I would try it for the donkeys too 🔥🙌🔥
Babe Centre Stage!
This weekend’s house concert at the ranch! Babe always finds a way to be part of the show…she is such a rock star 💕
Last night at the ranch was the last session of beginner agility for this set…it was lovely and breezy. It was actually perfect and although three people dropped out due to the heat wave; this was actually one of my best classes ever!
I learned so much…had to adapt the time and reduce the area to make shaded runs. It stretched me and also made me work a little harder. When the universe hands you lemons…make lemonaide! Now I will take August off and start up again in Sept 🍋
Recue Dogs of Mexico!
Teaching agility to one eyed rescue dogs from Mexico fills my cup! Now we just have to work on conformation and hind-end awareness 😂
Yay Millie…A for enthusiasm!
Canine Kundalini is a green light tonight!
Canine Kundalini is a green light this evening! There was plenty of shade and a breeze by 6pm, so classes are on tonight and all next week as well 🐶
It has been a great week with these two kids! Babe and Titch are going to miss all the entertainment and agility enthusiasm 💕
Babe is a one of the girls 💕🌸💕
Babe is one of the girls 💕
Titch drinks like a boy 😂
Dogs and chickens…I guess we have some work to do on LEAVE IT?!? Luckily this chick survived and is now back with her flock…what a trouper!
Penny’s back…my little daycare dog!
This is right before the three of them chased and caught a wild turkey. They took it down before I could stop them. It looked nearly dead, but had a heart beat. I had a dog blanket with me, so I wrapped it up and brought back to the ranch, where it stood up and ran away.
I guess it was is just in shock 😂
So was I 🤷♀️
Babe likes to bring things…today it was my Amazon order…it’s the little things 😂
Working Dogs vs. Working Donkeys:
2024 Yogadog classes started last night at the Gateway! Canine Kundalini runs Tuesdays at 5:30-6:30. Puppy Classes run Wednesday nights from 5:30-6:30 and beginner agility runs Thursdays from 5:30-6:30! For those of you who know my working dog Babe…you know she is the quintessential squeaky wheel. She keeps us on point and gets lots of treats 😂The next sets start the end of May 30th and run for six weeks!
Come hail…sun…snow…or whatever the universe throws my way…Canine Kundalini is on tonight at the ranch! Dress warm folks!
Great hack! I think I’m going to need to do this twice this season because there will be rain. Two years ago I used spa salt and the rocks lasted longer, but were really noticeable, so unless you are putting it on white rock, the road salt is less unsightly and breaks down faster.
Yogadog Classes are back!
Getting back to training for spring classes! The weekly sessions are one hour a week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays, from 5:30-6:30 and span five weeks! This set of classes is full but let me know if you are interested in June sessions!
$150 for five group sessions at the Gateway Ranch!
Dog kennels and ex pens for CHICKENS!!!
Dogs and Chickens!
Trish was the remaining member of the “Be Good Tanyas”. She was one of the three chicks who went with me to Maple Ridge and to Mission last year for Easter! She is my pet hen who sat on my shoulder while I read to her in the coop. She also raised the four newest hens from babies, as though they were her own. She reminds me so much of MOMMA my beautiful angel…who like Trish was the only hen with any maternal instinct 💕🐓💕
She was raised for the first few weeks in a crate with dogs around, so she is totally fine with the transition to crating to hatch some eggs. She’s brooding and not laying as far as I can tell. She seems in great health (other than missing feathers on her underbelly). She was not leaving her box in the coop and was covered in egg and broken shell. It is common that hens will destroy and consume unviable eggs. It is a great source of protein while they brood. Broody hens only get off their eggs to eat and drink. I think she may have pulled out her own feathers trying to clean herself after cracking an egg she was trying to hatch 🐣
Fingers crossed in 20 days we have some chicks 🐥
There are actually 160 rescued dogs being vetted, cared for, fed and walked daily at the Makasutu Horse and Donkey Rescue! This is an incredible amount of work and the volunteers work 12 hours per day 7 days a week 🙌
This is my reading chair, which has become a $900 dog bed 🤷♀️
Emotional support human…digging a path in the snow for the dogs ♥️
