So today is hard. Yes, I'm crying in private (because I am an ugly cryer and I don't like crying in front of people). This is what I THOUGHT my retirement would look like, but we don't always get to choose the next life step. 😭 It looks a little different than I had imagined, with a few less tails wagging, but I am beyond thankful for all 10 wonderful years that I had to experience THAS dogs and puppies and raise many, many precious furbabies. Not to mention all the wonderful people I have met along the way, many of which are now THAS family!❤️ This morning, I hugged Goose's neck, told him that he was the BEST boy, said good bye, and to go love his new family BIG time! He has brought me so much happiness. He was literally one of the prettiest and best boys we have produced here at THAS (but I'm a little partial ❤️😊 Lol). I know he is going to be so very loved and spoiled (because we know his new owners and they already have a THAS dog, who they love big time), but it doesn't take the hurt of missing him away. Although things look differently than I imagined and my heart is hurting this morning, I am looking forward to loving the "new chapter " of my life, loving on grandbabies, teaching them farmlife the best I am able to right now, loving on the Aussies my husband allowed me to keep (thank you, babe❤️), etc. So, a word to anyone who thinks bre*ding is easy, it is NOT and you will have to do hard things and suffer heartache along the way. 💔 We do it for the love of the breed, the happiness of the dogs and their people. We are not "making bank" (and please do not ever take on this profession if you think that is the reason for doing it). Next week, I say goodbye to Big Ottis, so I am just asking for prayers and well wishes please as things get a little quieter here at the farm.🥹 Thank you all for being so amazing! I look forward to each and every update on our pups and dogs ( and y'all better send Christmas pictures LOL)!
