We took 4 days to ourselves and went camping, played in the water, celebrated Leo turning 2 and spent quality time together as a family and with friends.

It was also Loki's first camping trip and he was fantastic.

Now that we are "official," I am constantly reminding myself to still hold good boundaries and take time to be present with my family. If we don't respond right away this is why. Thabk you all for your support and patience as we navigate this change while still maintaining a good balance between more work and family time.

Our first dog behavior workshop is this Friday from 4 to 6 pm and our next volunteer orientation is Saturday from 5:30 to 6:30 pm.

On this day 2 years ago, I waddled through the barn yard insisting on doing chores while I was in the early stages of labor. I called my dad to wish him a happy 70th birthday but made no mention about the fact that I was in labor.

We had a planned home birth and my dad was pretty much horrified at the idea of it so I thought I would just call him after once the kid was out safe and sound so he didn't spend his whole birthday thinking we were all going to die 😉.

Thanks to @dani.meg and @whitnibrice for helping us bring Leo into this world in our kitchen. I would birth 100 more babies at home with both of you if I could.

When we told my parents I was pregnant in November 2019, we gave my dad a birthday card with a note saying we got him an early 70th present: a grandchild. Well, I like to keep my word so I delivered a grandchild to my dad on his birthday.

Happy Birthday to the two Leo's in my life. Though I wish your paths on earth could have crossed for longer, I am glad you will always share this day ❤

Puppy in a box. It might seem like a cute picture but we do this for training and socializing puppies.

Every litter that comes though the Puppy Palace will spend their days learning new things and getting a lot of enrichment work so when they are adopted into new homes they have a solid foundation to work from with their new family. Today we did a lot of nose work with the puppies and this guy thought the cinnamon box would be fun to sit in. 😊

Puppies will be available through @animaladoptioncenterjhwy

And mark your calendars, again!

We will be holding dog behavior workshops from 4-6pm June 26, July 30, August 20 and September 24th. These workshops will address your most pressing dog behavior questions and will be an informal get together here at the property. If you have questions dm them to me ahead of time so we can make sure we answer all of your questions. rsvp if possible via email, txt, call, dm or smoke signal. These events will not include your dogs but we will have demo dogs here.

Wow. What a weekend.

When I, Aska, envisioned this place aka my home eventually becoming an animal sanctuary/rescue I was never really sure it would happen. I printed off the IRS application in the spring of 2013 and it sat on my office board for 8 years. I was always too busy, too tired, unsure, busy with my other real job that actually pays for these animals etc etc etc.

Fast forward to this weekend when we held our first volunteer orientation and over 20 of you showed up. You showed up with your kids, your friends and your families and we could not be more grateful to welcome you to our home to build a greater community of support for the animals here and in our area.

We will be holding monthly dog behavior workshops, monthly volunteer orientation and more so stay tuned.

All of this is made possible through donations and this year we are participating in Tin Cup where donations are matched. Click on the link in our bio to make a donation through the Community Foundation of Teton Valley @cftetonvalley.

There are too many people to thank individually but thank you to everyone who has been a part of this crazy journey to get here. And the biggest thank you to our board of directors, Kara, Jaclyn and Sandy who help make this dream bigger than me and can help carry this into the future. I am forever grateful you.

Our first puppy palace guests have arrived! This building will house puppies and dogs for the @animaladoptioncenterjhwy until they are deemed old enough/healthy enough/ settled enough to go into individual foster or adoptive homes. We are so excited about this partnership with the AAC!

Animal rescue isn't a 9 to 5 job that we leave at home. These animals live at my home so they can be cared for around the clock as needed. Thankfully the sunsets from the palace are pretty beautiful so even "working" at 9 pm doesn't seem too bad.

If you are interested in volunteering with the puppies you must attend an orientation at Aska's Animals. Our first one is tomorrow at 10 am and we ask that you register and let us know you are coming ahead of time. link in bio to register.

Leo sometimes takes a morning nap. I went out to do some chores alone in the peace and quiet (except for the 5 crowing roosters 🤦‍♀️).

Summer living is easy for all the animals here. The goats are resting in the sunshine, a hen is sitting on eggs that will hatch soon, Wally was enjoying some time in the shade under the trees and chichi and mama cat were spotted napping together.

We feel so fortunate to be able to provide a safe, peaceful and calm space for all of these animals to live in. We started this nonprofit so we can increase our capacity and provide more community resources so all animals can be safe and loved.

Today kicks off the 8 week Tin Cup giving period where donors' gifts are partially matched by the @cftetonvalley Challender Fund.

To donate, visit cftetonvalley.org, click donate now on the top right, select event Tin Cup, Field of Interest: Animals and we are right at the top.

We are so excited to be a part of our first Tin Cup this year! Thank you to everyone at The Community Foundation of Teton Valley who work so hard to make this giving period and event day possible.

In February when we were getting storm cycle after storm cycle of snow, it was hard to believe that this pasture becomes bright green and the sun shines in the blue sky. Summer is almost here and we cherish every moment when there is no snow on the ground.

If only there was a real pot of gold at the bottom of that rainbow. We would help all the dogs with behavior problems and help them get into happy homes.

As we develop our programming to help animals in need, we will be raising funds for general operations through @cftetonvalley 's Tin Cup starting June 1st. More details to come!

In addition we are aiming to raise $10,000 to provide progressive, positive, science based training methods for foster dogs as well as to members of our community that are in need of additional training resources.

Please visit our website today to make a donation so we can start providing this much needed resource to dogs in need. www.askasanimals.org
