2025 has come and gone, and it was extremely hard for me to let go of that year. I really don’t want a new year to start.
Why?
Because I feel like I’m leaving Huxli behind. I feel like the 2025 “book” has been closed and put up on a shelf. Never to be opened again. The new 2026 book does not have Huxli in it and does not have any pages written for Smith Hollow Cavaliers. What I spent SO MUCH time and money (thousands of dollars and miles) on has disappeared into thin air. The “hobby” that my kids loved to help me with, is no longer.
2026 would bring Huxli’s first birthday. However by the time her first birthday comes around, she has spent more time in her wooden urn than she did earth side. She didn’t deserve what happened to her. And neither did we as a family. My children and I still cry weekly, and they still ask to see pictures of her in my phone.
All this being said, I’m officially shutting down my very small breeding hobby and will no longer pursue any new breeding females. I have lost any desire to continue on and I don’t think I’ll ever get it back. So now it’s time to focus on my family and healing, and taking care of each other. While I am blessed to have the very best husband and healthy kids, I still hurt from the heartache of losing Huxli 💔
