I knew there would be a year that would kick my teeth in, and punch me in my heart, and knock me to the ground, and 2024 was the year. I knew I would lose a lot of dogs at one time with so many dogs but I did not expect this to hit me so hard so soon.
Saying goodbye to 5 dogs in 9 months is not anything I would recommend to anyone. It's very bad for you, and causes so much pain you wonder why you do it, and I most certainly did wonder for quite some time.
But I can stand here and say with the many, many tears that have streamed down my face that looking at these 5 dogs that I so loved, that their families so loved, and that we lost tragically way too soon, I can say that the laughter and joy these pups brought far outweighed the grief and the tears, and that has to be the only metric that matters.
There is no other way to look at it, how much joy did they provide vs. how much pain do we endure by their loss?
When you analyze it that way you have to ask yourself would you do it all over again? How much joy, in being a breeder, have these dogs brought into the world and will bring into the world for generations and families to come?
For me, I wanted to quit, I can’t bear the pain. There is so much more pain to come as the dogs i have bred age and will someday also pass. But the answer is yes. It has to be. How much joy, in being a responsible ethical breeder of this beloved clownish breed, have these four dogs brought into the world and will bring into the world for generations to come? Our work is not done. ♥️🙏
Happy New Year, everyone! As I take a pause to grieve the beauties we’ve lost, I also look forward to the joy and hope of the angels living among us and yet to come. Sending my Miracle House babies much love and health in 2025! Hug your babies tight. 🙏💕
