Spanaffy S.B.T And S.W.D

 We are sad to announce the recent loss of wiggy. she was the first pup i kept from dolly and had to be let go after suffering strokes.her last months were spent with chris at staffy rescue where she was spoilt rotten, she always had a great temperment, was happy to see anyone and was as content in front of the fire as she was out playing with the dogs. i loved her to bits, will never forget the way she talked to you in her own peculiar way or the way if you said tiggy wiggy round and round would wag her tail in a circle. she was with me through some of the hardest parts of my life and i will never forget her. she was the kind of dog who made an impact on everyone she met and i have many happy memories of her playing with her boomer ball, the way she would play with a chew or ski on her belly through every wet muddy puddle she could

rest in peace my beautiful girl and i hop you will wait for me at the bridge, you were a grand old lady and i miss you so much.

Roxy was Archies sister, she was the only girl in the litter between Daisy and Gunner and although i was supposed to keep a girl i couldnt part with Archie and so Roxy went to live in Ireland with Sarah. Sarah already had a girl from Gunner called Jazz who she got from Emma at Blazinstaff and the two girls soon became firm freinds. Roxy was always the spirited one, always getting into trouble and Jazz the quiet one that calmed her down. Roxy started a promising show career and the family was soon joined by Max, a lovely dog puppy. Roxy got a 1st in Graduate Bitch at The Irish Ladies Show on 2nd July 2006 (below left) and she got a 4th in Junior Bitch at The Dun Laoghaire International Dog Show (below right), unfortunatly she only got to two others and was unplaced at each. on October the 18th 2006 Sarah did the usual run to the beach, Jazz was a bit off colour so stayed at home while Roxy and Max went for a lovely walk. on their way home they were hit from behind by a drunk driver and the car flung off the road, Roxy and Max died instantly from the impact and thankfully didnt suffer, Sarah was taken to hospital where sadly she lost her son 4 months too early. as the fotos show Roxy was much loved and very happy and im sure had her life now been cut short she would have carried on her promising show career. I am glad that Sarah took her home and loved her as short though her life was i dont think anyone could have loved her more. she will always be in our hearts and minds.

Sleep well little ones and Archie, Daisy. Dolly and sasha hope you and wiggy will be waiting on the Bridge for them to take them home.
