A few nights ago, I had a dream. A dream is rare for me these days and oddly enough I like it that way. When I dream, I usually wake up sad and alone feeling.

In my dream, I was in a boat, in the ocean but close to shore. Maverick and two girls that I love very much were in the boat with me. There was a man driving the boat but I couldn’t see his face, he was behind me and I never looked back to see who it was.

We were headed to shore and all of a sudden, huge waves started to roll in. I remember feeling panicked because none of us had life jackets on. I scrambled to find life jackets and there were three in the boat. I never thought twice about who would get them. I gave them to the three kids and remember feeling so helpless because I couldn’t protect them from the danger of the waves. It’s a feeling that haunts me every second of every day. It was the same feeling that I felt when I was helpless and couldn’t protect or save Legend.

I remember as the last wave was coming over our boat, I released all fear and worries about saving the kids. I turned them over to God. I wasn’t for one second worried about saving me or me dying. The wave covered our boat and as I breathed what I thought was my last breath, I woke up.

I pondered the dream for several hours. Wondering what it meant, or if it had any meaning at all. Then it hit me. God was telling me that I can’t navigate the waters alone and especially during a storm. I had no life jacket on in my dream but his reminder to me was that he is my life jacket. He keeps me afloat when I’m flooded and pounded with waves. I can relax and float when I have his vest of life on. In HIM I can find peace, comfort and rest.

I’m not sure the feelings of helplessness or the memories that haunt me will ever go away, and maybe I don’t want them to. But I know that there is a God who is willing to carry our burdens and float us to safety when we surrender it all at his feet.

So today, it’s not easy but I’m going to search for that rainbow. ~RW

Winter weather update !!! 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

All pups have been moved into our small tackle room with heaters. We are continuing the Albon/fenbendazole wormer and electrolyte treatment for parasite control and prevention. Babies will stay in the climate controlled room safe and warm until the weather changes. All pups are doing well and playful and not happy about being confined in a smaller area than usual. But this will pass and all will be well. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄 we love you all !!!!

After 10+ years breeding mini Aussies We have decided it’s time to retire. It’s been a lot of fun and we have met some of the most amazing people over the years. We are super proud of our dogs..the quality of bloodlines, temperament, intelligence, and beauty. It will be bitter sweet to not produce any more. But, as many of you know, breeding dogs isn’t all about puppy kisses and snuggles. There’s a lot of late nights/all nighters, sickness/parasites, LOTS OF P**P, the price of supplies -medications, preventatives, feed, microchipping, genetic testing- everything that goes into being a responsible breeder. The ’market’ has become saturated with people breeding Aussies without putting in all the work and then selling pups at very low prices. So at this point we aren’t breaking even. We moved this year to the coast to start semi retiring from our business and wanting to do more fishing and relaxing. So, after MANY prayers, I am at peace that this is the right thing in our lives and for the dogs. I KNOW God has something new and less stressful for us here in our new home.

THANK YOU all for the faith in us and our dogs, loyalty, friendships. We truly love and appreciate each and every one of you. I still want to keep in touch with you all bec, no matter what, your pup I still feels is a piece of my heart too.

With that being said…we have 6 pups Mercy x Ozzie available. These are the last pups we will have available. I did receive a mama dog that came to me pregnant (unknowingly) and she has 6 Aussie/border collie pups. They are all gorgeous babies. Prices are greatly reduced.

I’d like to ask you to keep us in your prayers as we place our last pups and our older dogs with approved new homes. It’s not going to be easy and my heart is hurting..but I KNOW it’s the best for my dogs.

Please contact me for any questions or comments. I will always be available to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

LETS GO FISHING 🎣
