I did a head count. Everyone is accounted for. I just thought you all should know.

Do you know what I like about people?
Their dogs.

Pitbulls are dangerous because I'm willing to jump out of a moving car to pet one.

The sounds of 2 week old baby raccoons are my new ASMR.
You're welcome!

Yesterday, marked my first trip of 2026 to Aspen Valley. I'm sure it won't be my last.
It's a good thing I keep their contact number in my favourite contacts list.
I was contacted to pick up 3 baby raccoons approximately 2 weeks old. A local arborist had felled a tree and these little ones tumbled out of their nest. With no sign of Mama after waiting for her to make an appearance and collect her little ones, it was decided they needed to be taken into care asap due to the cooler weather.
After picking them up, I placed them in a cat carrier with bean bag heating pads wrapped in baby blankets. I discovered a small scratch on the right front leg of one of the babies after a quick assessment for any obvious and detectable injuries. Other than that, they seemed to be in good health and condition.
Rascal, Mischief and Trouble are now safe in the wonderful care of Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary staff.
Thank you to Todd Cruse for containing them and ensuring their safety before I could pick up, and thank you to him and Nikki Webster for getting a hold of me to help these future masked bandits get the care they need.
Thank you to Kerri Ludlow and her pups for their understanding and support when I canceled their weekly Tuesday walk in order to get these little ones into care as soon as possible. It takes a village to help our local wildlife.

3 years ago on April 18th, 2023 Aspen was giving me trampoline lessons. She was a really good instructor and gave me a generous discount on lessons. I paid her 1 doggy cookie an hour per lesson. She has since retired from her career as a trampoline instructor.

The first rule of dog expenses is we don't talk about dog expenses unless we can write them off.
