Cheers to New Beginnings

We are just five days away from meeting our sweet little girl, and it’s been an emotional roller coaster in the best and hardest ways.

After losing Shad then Joe, I truly believed I would never have another dog again. It was just too much loss for two of the sweetest boys. The idea of loving another dog felt impossible and disrespectful. It felt like I’d be erasing them in some way. I’ve had to sit with that notion and remind myself that welcoming a new puppy isn’t about replacing the ones I’ve lost. It’s about allowing space in my heart to let love exist again.

I’m a dog person to my core. Not just any dog. I’m a Frenchie girl. That’s something I can’t deny. I realized that opening my heart again didn’t take anything away from Shad or Joe.

This moment also marks something bigger than just bringing home a new puppy. It’s the beginning of a long-considered, deeply intentional step toward building an ethical breeding program with the most wonderful breed. A program rooted in health and love. This isn’t something I rushed into. It’s something I walked away from, sat with for years, and only returned to when I knew I could do it the right way.

Right now, this little lady is waiting to come to her forever home. In time, she may become the foundation of something meaningful. Something built responsibly.

For now, I’m counting down the days. Letting excitement exist alongside remembrance. And trusting that the next chapter will unfold exactly as it’s meant to.

See you soon, little darling!
