dedication to my maggee may

ive had to rehome my maggeemay, and found a lovely home for her in portsmouth, we met half way today in eastbourne , she did her usual roll on the back for belly rubble, and was really silly with them, the lady Lynne who will be her new mum, was lovely and mags will have a super time with her, she has woods, streams, and a beach near them, so maggee heaven. have been very upset at letting her go but we had no choice due to tillee and maggee fighting and generally starting not to get on :( , since been informed that collies and terriers do not often get on. so as maggee was getting older and coming into her own the problems started, and tillee was becoming very unhappy and distresed by it all. we now can see how much as tillee has settled with us tonight properly for the first time in ages and is all snuggled up to me on the sofa on a new blankey and a chewey bone.

so im posting pics of mags from 8 weeks old to 21months old when we said a very tearfull and heart renching goodbye.

so heres maggee may and hope she settles in quickley in her new loving home with her new mum :)

Maggee is such a lovely dog, I'm glad that you found such a good home for her and hopefully her new owner will let you have news of her sometimes.

thank you daisy, ive had an email today regards mags, unfortunately lynne could not keep her as mags wanted to eat the cat :( But michael the man who contacted me in the first place is keeping her , he has a rottie ellie may, who is real soft and maggee may has started to come round and they are playing together, and slowly less teeth are being bared, he also has family with two other collies who she is fine with and more than happy playing with them, he said he's fallen in love with her and gives her lots of cuddles so she is fine, she always wanted to play with tillee tots, but tills didnt really want to know as mags got older, so she should be happy, ellie may does not retaliate in any way and mags is gaining confidence with her :o) ive said to him im more than happy for him to keep her, and she did seem to go to him more. he is going to send some pics soon of maggee may and ellie may playing tug around the lounge, and says is very funny as has laminate throughout and slip slide everywhere. im just happy she is settling and is happy with michael and he with her :o)

just catching up with this after my week offline Nita, and I am sending my wishes too, that maggee settles in her new home, and you have peace of mind over her. I am so glad tillee is happier, even with the few rehoming hiccups, you did the right thing.

hugs to you,

It is so hard isn't it. We had a maggee as well. His name was Harry and he looked very similar to your little one. We rescued him from Nottingham from someone who had bought him from a puppy farm and then didn't want him. He was adorable, funny and loving but although he was small his aim in life was to attack our ten year old Garak, a big springer/lab, big but a whimp. It was heartbreaking but Harry had to go. We found him a lovely home where he is the only dog and lord over all. You did the right thing, I applaud you for it. It's not easy but the right thing to do. Good for you for not taking the easy way out.
