Today was a special day for us here at Balkanika; my husband and I celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary ❤️💕🥳
And honestly… it looked exactly like most of our other days. No fancy dinners, no extravagant trips, no spoiling ourselves with lavish gifts. Instead, we spent the day doing what we always do: cleaning litter boxes, washing endless bedding, feeding, walking, topping up waters, doing two-hourly round-the-clock feeds, squeezing in a vet trip… and the rest of the endless list every breeder knows all too well.
It’s not glamorous. It’s not easy. But it is the life we chose when we decided to dedicate ourselves to the betterment of the breeds we adore. There are no days off and no excuses but we honestly wouldn’t have it any other way.It might sound ordinary to some, but to us, it’s exactly what makes our life special. This is the life we chose one where our days are full of purpose, partnership, and the furry family that means the world to us.
Because at the end of the day, what more could anyone want than to spend their life with their best friend and the person they love most, doing what they love, surrounded by the animals that make your heart feel full?
A big thank you to my husband for always putting up with my crazy, cheering me on, and supporting me while I chase my dreams. I couldn’t do any of this without you. ❤️
Here’s to another year of love, chaos, and our beautiful furry (and furless!) family 🐾💕
