I had effectively closed kennel in November. While I know this may be hard to believe I went through a pretty rough patch with domestic violence in 2024 and had no choice but to stuff the best with some good people ( who were disappointingly hard to find ) place the rest and get the hell outta dodge. I did some more traveling, seeing Canada's West coast, extreme North and Cancun Mexico and have FINALLY settled in Northern Ontario. I kept Raven throughout it all, and she got me through it all however I lost her in February just shy of her 9th birthday. It destroyed me more than anything else, and that plays a major part in me not being the same person most of you knew. I spent a lifetime dedicated to the care of my hounds and swore for my first 35 years that only pieces of s**t got rid of their personal dogs. Then I was literally left holding 3 horses and 8 dogs by the side of the road one day while squinting through a black eye. Mentally I came as close to flying over the cookoos nest as a woman can get. It was all designed to kill me, but here I am. I've got Ronnie, Rook and thanks to a houndsman down south who I've always considered top notch and have done some breeding with back and forth there's a new pup being picked up Monday. It might not be ideal right now with 3 hell hounds in a town based rental, but you certainly don't have to go far to find a track up here and this is temporary, there's a fenced in yard and I can make this thing work again till I purchase my own property, that a man will never be able to kick me off of. It all works out, and I always win.
