As 2023 comes to a close I take this opportunity to wish all our Belle Hollow families a Very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.
It has been a long year with much adversity in the world. Inflation has taken a toll on so many people, families and businesses including our own. Quality pet foods and chicken used for raw diets has increased pretty dramatically over the past 2 years along with all the other supplies needed to raise happy healthy fur babies. The cost of fuel to meet our families and their flights for pickup have gone up a bunch as well. There is much unrest in the world as well.
That aside we at Belle Hollow are about to enter our 20th year of breeding sweet loving kittens. I will see my 70th birthday this year and our original serval “Jeffree” will be 20 years old as well. As usual, we mourn the loss of beloved pets both ours and those of our Belle Hollow family but now we are beginning to see some of our original first generation savannahs pass from simply “OLD AGE”. It’s hard to see my beloved and often hand raised kittens fade into the night knowing that this fate awaits us all. All and all however I look forward to the New Year and the spring for new life. We must look to the future or we will be lost in the past. Many sweet babies to come and new children to delight in their new pets, empty nesters (like us) need new fur children to love. We must move forward knowing that all things are possible in love and faith.
In closing I hope this message finds you and yours happy and healthy and leaning into the new year. May the Lord bless you and keep you, may he make his face shine upon you and give you peace.
Merry, Merry Christmas to each and every one of us.
