It all happened one day in June 2003 when absent from work due to a seizure when the doorbell rang. Wondering who on earth was coming to see her Momma Hawk, struggled to get the door. To her surprise, was a deputy from Chicago Public Schools who handed her a letter that stated she had been fired from Chicago Public School after 34 years of superior service. With no further explanation, or understanding, Momma Hawk reviewed the document and retreated in disappointment. While it has since been proven that there was no credence to the allegations, the lies and character slaying came from her trying to be a blessing to adults who had been rejected in the school system and was in need of a job. Little did Momma Hawk know that these teachers would rise up and defame her character to get the job that she was in line for as the principal of Paderewski. Her salary plummeted from 90,000 dollars a year to zero in less than 24 hours. After years and years of feeding and clothing our westside children, educating them to success, d building their self esteem, this renowned educator found herself kicked to the curb and soon to be forgotten.
Watching the local news one morning, Momma Hawk became aware of pets that were homeless and hungry and in need of love. She had decided that this would be her new venture in life and so she enlisted in the battle to save our animals. It was then that Princess Zoray came into her life. Princess is a miniature pinscher that had been badly abused by a family that had small children. Momma Hawk took her in to foster, and care for until an adopted family could be found. Months passed and soon years and no one had claimed her. After having a serious seizure, Momma Hawk's doctor told her that she needed to consider a service animal that would alert her before she went into a full blown seizure. They showed her all kinds of beautiful animals that could assist, her but Momma Hawk did not want two dogs, and she was not ready to release Princess. It was at this time that Princess was suggested for training, and became a faithful and loyal seizure alert animal.
Because of her small size and short hair, Princess showed signs of always being cold. Due to her lack of income, Momma Hawk could not afford to buy the cute boutique clothing that is featured at local businesses, so she decided to reinvent the wheel. Using a variety of fabric, she recycled items and created the most unusual outfits that became the conversation starters when she walked her up and down the street. Everyone wanted to know where those cute outfits came from and there began the birth of Princess Paws Couture. Princess Paws Couture began with just cute outfits for small dogs that weigh under 15 pounds and has now grown to feature some furniture ideas, gourmet biscuits and meals, dogweavables (dog wigs) nail care, bling bling ear rings, and other cute accessories. What makes this business so endearing is that it is a personal pooch one stop shop. Clients call for an appointment and time and attention is spent with that client until everything is decided. Within five days from the placement of that order, the client can happily come back and get their items gift wrapped in a beautiful pink and black packaging.
Due to the economy, there is a price for everyone. Items can be as low s $20 .00 and can go as high as $1,000 dollars depending on what the client wants. Momma Hawk specializes in working within the budget of her clients. One client commented that she had only $30.00 and wanted a really cute - one of a kind coat for her shi zhu. Momma Hawk showed her the fabrics that fit within her budget, allowed the client to select her trims and style and within five days Matsy was dressed to the nines in her designer coat.
Momma Hawk has found that the loyalty and love from rescue animals, exceed her expectation of what humans have to offer. After her disappointing ordeal with Chicago Public Schools, Momma Hawk feels that animals are more loyal, more appreciative, more deserving and more worth her time and energy at this venture in her life. She has no regrets about the hundreds of children that she has been able to empower, love and motivate to be a success in our society. However, at this point in her life, she has fallen in love with dogs and her mission is to take them from rescue to royalty giving them the best lives ever and making sure that all that they need is provided for.
Momma Hawk's new goal in life is to host a Rescue to Royalty Talk Show for dogs and share with others how to give them the best of everything at an affordable price.
It doesn't matter if you're a dog lover or not, every living species needs love. Dog give unconditional love, and Dr. Momma Hawk specializes in making your pooch, the talk of the town, with one of kind designer dog gear!
