👋 Hey animal lovers! Thanks for watching! 😊 This morning features our lovely seniors horses, Sugar, and Dixie, leaving their stalls as they head out to pasture, and all the others heading out of the corral for the day. We believe in building strong bonds with our equine friends through positive reinforcement in all our interactions and horse training, making them safe and enjoyable. Join us to learn more about our horsemanship methods and how you can develop an amazing relationship with these magnificent animals! We offer DrQ's FREE Horse Relationship Building Masterclass on our website inside the free community on www.ResqRanch.org, as well as paid in person summer clinics, and group online coaching. If you have struggled figuring out where you belong in the world of horses, you have found your home!

Today I am grateful for my hands. I am grateful they are able to do things as complex as surgery like to remove the complicated tumor on a dog's leg yesterday, and be able to put contacts in my eyes. I am grateful for dogs and all the boundless joy they bring each day just to look at them. I am grateful for hot tea and early mornings before the sun rises. I am grateful my ankle hurts less, especially since the book The Secret Language of Your Body that was shared with me, gave me some insight into what is going on with my ankle. I am grateful I have the ability to read, learn, and make changes in my life based on what I am learning. I am grateful for my children, my home, my whole entire extended family, and that I live here in the USA. I am actually quite grateful for that. And I am grateful we have animals for an example to live by. They never worry about if they are good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, skinny enough, or whether they said or did all the right things. They just live right in the moment, content with themselves, and without giving a second thought to any sort of outside influences. That is, unless we complicate things by asking a lot of them, and in such a way it's hard for them to understand, and thus cause tension and confusion. That is the beauty of R+ training. It really is the Rosetta stone to communicating with animals in a way that opens the door for more compassion, kindness, and understanding.

Don't forget it's the full moon this weekend. I know all my hippies out there want to be sure and remember to charge their crystals.

So what about you, do you struggle with self worth, my Animal Loving Angel? No matter how much you accomplish, do you still wonder if you are good enough? If people accept you? Isn't that why we gravitate towards animals, because in them, we have the safety of unconditional acceptance? So today, be grateful you woke up. That you can breathe. That you can read. And look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you are doing alright just the way you are. Be like the animals, live in the moment, accept things as they are, and know that everything is ok, just as it is. And all we can do, is be a little better, every day, in every way.

And if any part of that, means improving the lives of your animals today, and you need help, near or far (we do phone consultations around the world), remember, we are here to help. If you are seeking new, or better ways to address any health or behavior issues you are having with your dog, cat, or fish, at Aspen Park Vet Hospital we can help. We offer true ‘out of the box’ thinking that takes into account the ‘whole’ animal, and you, including how to make a nutritious home made diets. We are here to help you make sure you don’t waste money on tests your pets doesn’t need, or supplements that are snake oil, while taking the time to address every single one of your questions and concerns, often even some you have not thought of yet!

And if any part of you yearns for a deeper connection with your horse, then, you are in the right place. Go to ResqRanch.org, and join the FREE community there to get the entire Horse Relationship Building Masterclass, that’s right, for FREE! Not sure how much simpler and easier I can make that for you. And if you want hands on help implementing it, sign up for one of our 3-day clinics. If you have ever felt icky about how someone told you to solve a training issue, because you didn’t want to be mean to your horse, then you are definitely in the right place!

​Make it the best day ever, with our animals by our side, we got this! God bless!
