My heart grieves tonight for the loss of Maggie. She was a good friend who brought lots of happiness into the lives of our family.

Maggie's first owner died of cancer, leaving Maggie displaced
to a family that abused her. They had 3 little boys that did who
knows what to her. This became evident because she was so scared and had great difficulty getting over it after she came to live with us. She was afraid of everybody and almost everything it seemed. She always thought someone was going to try and hit or hurt her if they they got too close.

Maggie was a very independent little dog but she certainly proved to be a survivor. Alot of consistant calmness, love, tender care, kindness, compassion and good food would heal her little wounded and abused spirit. Over time she got to where she could rest without fear in my arms. She got to where she would not try to run away when it was time to pick her. Maggie slowly came to trust me and eventually she knew that peace and security were in her life. She had found love. She also loved to hear Italian Opera and to eat pasta. The more pasta, the better. She was truly a 100 per cent Italian Greyhound.

Maggie was born in September 1996 and passed on January 31, 2010.
I was not with her when her time came. For that I am sorry. I would like to tell you why. I don't know how else to tell you except the truth just like it is. This has hurt terribly.

You see on May 29, 2009 our famly was evicted out of the place where we were renting. The place (owned by another person, our previous Landlord) had recently been foreclosed on by the lender who made a short term lease with me. In the meantime they signed with a managment company to manage the property but did not resind their agreement with me. I paid my rent to them as required. However just suddenly one day we got an eviction notice that we were being sued for non payment of rent. This reason for the eviction was an absolute lie. I was accused of not paying the rent but I had paid the rent, all of it, on time. I have the cancelled checks to prove it. I went to court with an attorney believing that only the spirit of truth could prevail. For some reason the Judge ruled against me, and set myself and our family out. We did not have another home to move to or anywhere that we could live with our animals, including Maggie.

Since our family and pets were about to become homeless I ask a friend to keep and care for Maggie, along with 3 other Italian Greyhounds that are part of our family until I could get us a place to live whereas we would have a place to keep them. So my prayer partner took our pets in including Maggie.

My son and I went to live in a motel until we could rent an apartment. It took about 10 days. One of the questions on the new rental application was "have you ever had an unlawful detainer filed against you?" It was a miracle that a real estate friend(who knew the agressors and what they had wrongfully done to me)allowed me to use him as a reference and we were approved to lease a small 3 room apartment.

Maggie could not stay at the apt. I went to visit her (44 mile round trip), took her treats, food, vitamins, toys, and most importantly she got to see her "mama." Thats the name she knew me by.

I have gone from attorney to attorney trying to get someone to help me get the Judge's ruling reversed. One by one I have been turned down because apparently they don't see themselves making alot of money out of it. Recently the last attorney I talked to told me to accept it and to move on with my life. But I can't do that ...the ruling was based on a lawsuit filed frivously and lies. It continues
to seperate my family and I from our animals...plus all of our possessions are in storage and the cost has eaten away my savings to buy a house. Yet the people who did this to us don't care. I think they did it because I am a female and they thought they could do it, bully me, that they could and did take advantage of me. Also because we did not have the money or representation to defend me properly...the evictors did not care that they made myself, family and animals homeless. Those who did this sleep in their homes at night, in their beds, are not seperated from their families and have their pets by their bedside, warm, resting comfortably in a home. I have been doing all that I know to do to correct this injustice towards, myself, family and beloved pets. And now we have lost Maggie. I am just numb from it. And the tears are doubled because of it.

I want Maggie to know "Mama" will always love her. I am so sorry I was not with her when she passed away.

I have reported the actions of the landlord to the Real Estate Commission who could not do anything because the Judge ruled against me. They do not have jurisdiction over a ruling made in a court of law. I have further reported those who evicted us to HUD for an investigation. The mean men who wrongfully filed eviction proceedings against me and the corrupt Judge who ruled frivously against me...set the ground work to willfully seperate and hurt our family and pets.

Maggie shall be missed for now and ever more...I am thankful for those who operate this website that give
a chance for us who really love their pets to remember them in a special way... When I get this horrible attack on myself, family and pets corrected someday...we will still be minus Maggie in the natural but I hope that her spirit will live with us forever...even in heaven someday. I know that in my heart she will never be forgotton and will always be there, apart of me.

I am sorry Maggie I was not there when you departed. Please forgive me. I wish you had of been in my arms.

My love to you always...Love, Mama

Blessings to all those who read this in Jesus Name.
