this thread made me so sad because I do believe life does throw us curve balls and often times its the woman that suffer. 3 years ago my cousin had a real tradgedy happen, she and he fiance had lived together for 4 years they had planned on getting married but were in no hurry , they were both in thier 40's he was in his later 40s, between them they had 3 poms, one poodle, 9 cats, 2 horses and were the most caring animal people in the world, all of those cats were at one point strays. They were so dedicated to thier animals and loved them all soo much. ONe day her finance went to play baseball with his friends, he was the pitcher, he threw the ball to the hitter and dropped dead!! HE had a massive heart attack , which was totally unexpected. Because they were NOT married yet his family became very very very greedy even though he had not talked to most of them in years. They went to the courts and filed a suit against my cousin, she had 14 days to evacuate the house. She had worked for him , he owned his own mortgage company, so now she had no job, no house and 15 animals, no income and no house and two children? She sold the horses because she was dead broke, and had to rehome all but 2 dogs, my aunt her mother lives in a gated community which only allows 2 animals. She was devistated, she tried and tried to find homes with friends but many had thier own animals, lived in apts, had babies, etc, I kept one of her poms till she could find a place to live and a job , the other pom went to a neighboor who loved her, it took her 18 months to get the house ( which he did leave to her in his will) but she could not forsee her future, she had no idea this would have happened, she loved her dogs soo much and the cats too. Life does throw you curve balls, that poor girl must have came here trying to find a yorkie lover or someone to take them and got her heart ripped out.. so sad |
