Sunday, July 10, 2011 After many days of
mourning and sadness around the Webster's Boxers home, I am finally
able to face the daunting task of posting an update on our last
litter, Litter #7, which was whelped on March 28, 2011. I have
decided not to go into all of the gory details as the situation was
much too painful to have to relive once again via this news update.
I will, however, express my deepest and greatest sorrow to those who
were awaiting a puppy from that litter and I can assure you that we
are and will do everything in our power to prevent whatever went
wrong from happening again. We have decided at this time that we
will be putting our breeding program on hold until we can feel
comfortable that something like this will not occur again, however
long that may take. If I have learned anything from this last litter
it is that I must trust my God-given instincts at all times. That is
my biggest emotional burden that I have carried throughout this
situation, that I did not trust my instincts. Which now as I look
back in time, something was telling me this was not the right time
to breed.
This was supposed to be a year of happiness and
celebrations as our "old dawg", Crusher, celebrated his 10th
Birthday, but instead it has been a year of pain and sorrow and a
financial set-back that we may never completely overcome. At this
time we are slowly recovering the financial loss we suffered, but it
has been a long, hard battle over the past two and half months.
There have been times when we were not sure we would even be able to
keep our home, let alone all of our treasured, four-legged family
members. It has been very scary, and we are not completely out of
the woods yet financially. We would like to thank everyone who was
there with us and offered their prayers and well wishes. We
appreciate all of you very much.
Over the upcoming months I hope to find the time to
keep the website updated and maybe even another little "face lift"
will be in order. We ask all of our loyal and loving family members
to remember us and continue to email us and keep in contact. The
support of our extended family has always been what keeps us going
through the good times and the bad.
