“March 29th marks the 24th anniversary of the historic wild release of endangered Mexican gray wolves into the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area in Arizona and New Mexico. In 1998, 11 Mexican gray wolves were released into the wild from the Mexican Wolf Species Survival Plan (SSP) captive breeding program. These rare native southwestern wolves were missing on the landscape for more than 30 years before getting a second chance to thrive in the wild places where they belong.

We hope you'll join us in celebrating this milestone for Mexican wolf conservation! While Mexican gray wolves still face many threats, including a genetic crisis, illegal killing, and harmful arbitrary boundaries that limit their recovery.”

As you all know, I’m passionate about our Mexican Gray Wolf and was honored to help capture one years back for breeding. Let’s keep them wild. photo credit to the Wolf Conservation Center.

So just for a moment….let’s be still. 🖤

Because days turn into months and months turn into years.
I just want to sit with you, feel the frosty air on our face, the sand under our shoes.
Let’s be still…..

Zia days, my adventure girl. 🖤

The moon is magic tonight! 🌟🌑🌕💫✨

I have the power of the past on our side. Set up my shrine all around my TV. ⚾️💙⚾️
It’s time for Dodger baseball!!

Beautiful fall CO mountain, misty mornings. 🍁🍂🌾🍁

So excited for Albuquerque Lifestyle magazine. Behind the scenes for the cover shoot- boards were supposed to be on the water, drone flying overhead to take the ultimate shot of the boards, the LAUNCH lit up with the Sandia mountains as the backdrop. But NM rains had a different agenda, so this group improvised. With pouring wine while it poured rain. Thank you for allowing us to be apart of your magical day for the release of your magazine and launch. Check out magazine. And my providing some rad backdrop.

My Zia, she’s a joy in my life every day!

Los Angeles… we had a great time in LA! Traveled with our mountain bikes, rode along the beach for miles, had fresh wonderful food. We stayed in the most beautiful casita with a salt water pool. Watched the Dodgers lose and then kick ass against the Astros. We missed our Zia, but we knew she was being loved and spoiled w/boyfriend Frankie. Spent my birthday turning 46, watching my team! I couldn’t have asked for a better time. #

It’s the Zia & Frankie show. 🐾

New Mexico Park Rangers keeping us safe over the Fourth of July weekend. Captured this gorgeous shot as the sun was setting. They were loading the boat back up on the trailer. Our Park Rangers hard at work. Thank you for all you do.

In our own shop, out from the garage and this gorgeous piece was the first born from our new space. ☀️🔆

I also like to think new beginnings. Metal is beautiful and it’s amazing what can be created and crafted. Metal Dog Iron Works for all your custom Iron work, residential and commercial needs.

Law Enforcement Torch Run- my soul sister and work partner survived the 12 miles- in the dead heat of the afternoon. It was an honor to cycle along other bikers and runners, and alongside my Fire and Police family. I love the people I work with. Great pride, huge hearts all for a special cause to kick off the Special Olympics. Seeing the men/women carry the flag and torch to pass it on. As Officer B. Sanchez said, not special they are EXCEPTIONAL!

When Zia ♥️grew wings.
She doesn’t even remember the life she had. All she knows is her life now, she can soar.
Then one day she woke up, decided she was a bucking bronco and ready to rodeo. 🐎

Her lake day yesterday with boyfriend Frankie.

When your girl Raquel starts making a very loud click, click in the dash, this sexy guy says; “that sounds like your blend door actuator.” 🤔 I wasn’t sure I heard him correctly. So I look it up, sure as s**t, it’s a thing or part. So he straight up replaced it today. I now have regulated hot and cold air again. ♥️🤩he’s a winner! And a keeper.

The nice thing about being owner, you can put yourself in timeout. Worked hard labor all day with 400feet plus fence job today. It looks gorgeous. Ben has done a fantastic job with his crew. Right now, it’s and hot tub and true crime.

Just act natural, they don’t see me.

New Ford Raptor driver in the making. She thinks she’s cute, (she is) ♥️
Always wants to be in the driver seat.

So, after months of research I kept coming back to for a bike rack. I’m particular with what I accessorize Raquel with. (Raquel is my sexy Raptor) 🔥. I ordered the 2” Super Duty in black. And it DEFINITELY does not disappoint. It’s heavy duty, built for adventures, incredibly easy to install and holds our bikes with ease and stability. I am 100% in love with my choice, highly recommend this bike rack if you are in the market.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted lake picks and paddle boarding. It’s here my soul feels free, my heart is open and I feel alive. These were taken a couple Saturday’s ago. The water is still very cold, but the air and sun ☀️ feel so warm on the skin. My family day at the lake, with our new addition Zia, who has moved onto to being FREE! She has healed perfectly, and now can run wild like the bucking horse 🐎 she is. ♥️(not exaggerating) haha. I am so looking forward to having classes on the lake again, seeing beautiful faces and filling our lungs with the desert ☀️. We live in a state that has perfect weather and beautiful skies. Let’s enjoy this!! .

Eating is never solo anymore. She sneaks in under my arm and waits.... Chronicles of Zia dog. ♥️🤣

After careful consideration, praying and the internal struggle if this was acceptable. Ben and I decided to ask for any help towards Zia’s care and rehabilitation.
We knew she needed repairing from the day we adopted her, but never knew to what degree or expenses.
Every amount donated will go to her bills and future care, and anything over I will donate to a dog charity. I promise you that.
Even a share of her Go Fund Me is everything.

Thank you for being so supportive and helping us through this time. We love her and will continue to provide her the comfort, love and safety she deserves.

It was a very cold evening for an install. This stunning home under construction, with the most amazing views of our Sandia Mountain was the site tonight. Generator supplied power and heat 💨☃️🌬🔥follow Metal Dog Iron Works on IG. We finally have the page up, website in progress, merchandise coming soon. Thank you all for your support.

Our precious Zia, resting. It’s been a long and sleepless night. But she’s home and peaceful. Welcome her new look for the holiday. ♥️ ♥️

Sundays are best with , cool rainy morning and the ones you love ❤️

What a fun weekend!!!! (Sort of) “death stairs” they called it, Pat Hurley Park we ran 3 rounds of stairs. My workout crew did the 3 rounds, I did 2.2 rounds. 😰😬
Mountain biked the Bosque to a place called Bike In Coffee. Where these picks were taken. What a wonderful gem to ride up to. Biked from Alameda to I40 for our stop at this sweet cool spot with cool jazz playing. Grabbed my chili from Rosales Chili stand, soaked in a hot 🥵 bath when I got home. I can move a little better now. Haha
