I envisioned this, maybe its manifestation, but I pictured this day on the day I was blessed with the opportunity to own Envy 🥹❤️. I remember thinking I need to learn more about this (I was heavily into rescue dogs & helping rescue dogs at the time) but also thinking, my future kid will thrive experiencing the beauty of high standard breeding 🐶.
You see… co-owning a dog can be troubling for some, but not me. When I officially met Mary, I felt like I met a long lost aunt that I never knew about. She has been so supportive, patient & understanding with me & my passion for dogs. She helps me connect the dots on all the things I didn’t get to be apart of with some of my family members that bred Rottweilers & German shepherds growing up. As a kid, I was distant from it but always knew of it, heard of the stories but again, could never really connect the dots, I was never apart of that stuff, ever. Mary helps me connect the dots w/ my career & concerns w/ not only her dogs but dogs I’m working with. She is a saint in my eyes, the queen of all queens when it comes to real deal, real life dog stuff, breeding or in general. Her mind is so fascinating to me & the level of effort she puts in with every single dog, every litter, and the continued assistance after, with new owners, it just WOWS 🤩 me, every time!! She’s the real standard setter in my eyes, I want to be like Mary in many ways when it comes to dumping your passion into your work.
Today was a special day for me, I woke up so excited I tried to come earlier than I was told. I just knew this was going to make my heart feel full… which it did & then some.
This moment reminded me of some goals I set back in 2020 that became disrupted throughout the course of the years doing my best to stay true to my own path with dogs as well as checking off a big boxes on said “goal list”. A healthy reminder to get back to crushing goals at A1K9 along with my own personal goals as well!! This was certainly a healthy dose of dopamine 🤩!!
