POOR HENRY IN COMES MAGGI LATE 2000.

I moved into the house I am still in today 16 years latter. I was very exhsusted with all the moving and drama of 1999. So it was nice to be in a 60 yr old house that had been renovated.Being a Community house I will have a place to live for the rest of my life. Tara and Jasper my cats and Henry my pekingeses dog settled in well.  One morning not long after moving in I found Henry who was only 4 years old laying on the floor unable to move. I tried to move him and he yelled. I ran to a neighbor, I hardly knew and she took me straight to the vet. The prognosis was not good and I left the vets with Henry's body .He could not be saved and had to go to God. I was in so much shock,  and was ill for days.  I managed to bury him in the garden.  I had lost 3 dogs in a year.  Just too much.
I decided no more dogs and went around 9 months with just Tara and Jasper my 2 cats. Then I got lonely for another dog and contacted the lady who breeds Pekingeses and would give them away to a good home. Val came up with Maggi who was a Shitzu, Maltese cross and was only 6 months old. She had been mistreated by small children so she was very timid at first but became a wonderful active little dog. This was around the end of 2000.
I had started dating an old ex boyfriend who I met at a Country Music event. He was still the same old Neville who smoked heavy and had to drink 6 beers a night.  He was very much in love with me and I hoped the relationship would work?   He bought me another puppy, I called Liberty. Maggi was needing company and that is why he bought her. She was born 4th of July 2002 hence her name Liberty Belle.I tried so hard to stay with Neville but when he had a heart attack and would not give up smoking or drinking it got too me. He had a bad turn at my place after he had had a stent put in and I had to rush him to hospital. This scared me and I knew I and my health could not cope with his behavior and this was affecting my health, so around 2003 I broke it off with him. He was living with his mother so he had a place to go. He has never forgiven me. I only wish him well.
