๐Ÿ‘‹ Hey animal lovers! Thanks for watching! ๐Ÿ˜Š This Memorial Day weekend, we take a moment to honor the sacrifices of US military personnel and remember that many horses, mules, and donkeys were lost in service, too. We are grateful for every soldier who dedicated their lives for our freedom. As a small gesture of our appreciation, please join the FREE community at ResqRanch.org, where inside you will find the entire course DrQ's Horse Relationship Building Masterclass. Thank you for your continued support and for helping us spread gratitude for all sacrifices.

Today I am grateful for Memorial Day and hope everyone takes a moment to reflect. I am grateful I went to the gym yesterday and had a great workout. I am grateful I got a lot of work done my YouTube channel yesterday as well. I am grateful we had a wonderful long walk with Natalia, Patti, and Donkey. I am grateful the horses enjoyed a little time out to graze although the grass is not growing because the water is still limited despite the rain. I am grateful I can sit at night, in a quiet house, working on my computer, with a large, kind rooster resting in his kennel nearby, quiet as a mouse, and who gets upset when the dogs get too loud because he is a perfect gentleman.

What about you, Animal Loving Angel? What and who are you grateful for this morning? Are you looking forward to making this a Saturday to remember? I sure hope so. Because, although this weekend is a time to reflect, it is also a time to rest, relax, and enjoy the freedoms we have, thanks to the sacrifices of others. We would not be doing them service, if we did not exercise our freedoms. So be grateful for all you have today, be kind to yourself, and to others. I walked outside barefoot yesterday finally, yeah! I dare you to do the same sometime this weekend, walk barefoot, and better yet, hug a tree while you are doing it. Really take a moment to connect to this beautiful earth we are so lucky to live on. And then look in the mirror, and give yourself a high five! Because you, are doing great, just the way your are. All we can do every day, is show up, and try to be a little better, every day, in every way.

And if any part of that means you need help with your animals, I am here for you, whether with your dogs, cats, and fish, through Aspen Park Vet Hospital, or, with your relationship with your horse, through the ResqRanch.

And we need volunteers to help us walk in the Evergreen Rodeo Parade! So if you want to come and be an animal handler in the parade, or just want to walk with us, check out video on getting ready for the parade, here https://youtu.be/arIAYnJR6Cc?si=yYKHRTz1AQd9WM78, and shoot us an email through our website, we would love to have you join us!

Make it the best day ever!

And if any part of your future self hopes to have your own YouTube channel, get vidIQ to grow your channel faster! ๐Ÿš€
