Hi all,
After finding you on facebook, i've now landed here too.

I lost my 10 1/2 yr old girl a couple of months ago and it hurts like hell, although I knew it was coming as she'd been going downhill for a while it didnt make it any easier. I promised her that i'd never let her suffer and in return she promised me she'd let me know when she was ready to go, to cut a long story short we kept our promises to each other, hardest day of my life broke my heart.
Her favourite place in the house was by my feet when i was sat at the computer desk (also happens to be by the fire), so now she sits in her box on the top shelf of the desk, watching my every move.
It just left such a massive void y'know? My OH has another staffie and a JR and still now when they come running in from the garden I expect Carla to come running in after them, so empty in so many ways....
After a great deal of thought and soul searching, yes, I have decided to get another. I feel that ploughing my energies and pet care into another (hopefully) amazing staffie will help, whilst I can never replace my girl this for me I feel is the best course.

So many adverts, so much choice where do you begin? I was picky, very picky, had to be KC Reg, wanted to see both parents or at least mum and some good pics of Dad, the picture of the litter had to be 'right' in the advert..... Anyway many hours, days and weeks of searching later, with much delight and excitement, my new red boy comes home on November 3rd and I cant wait......

Hi all...... Carla10

Thanks everyone, Kat it brings a tear to my eye every time I think about it.... Sad

Jackson's pedigree - It's not filled with champions on the certificate, but that doesnt bother me. To me a champion dog is only a champion dog if it's the right quality AND it's been shown. Just because a dog isnt a champion, it may mean it's good enough but hasnt been shown right? Just my opinion.
I'm happy, I was like i said very picky, and well chuffed with him.......... Big Grin

Rainbow bridge, gotta love that place, carla is there now running free with my mothers boxers and my friend's Doby that was PTS way ahead of her time yesterday.....

Hi and Welcome from me and the two hooligans

I'm so sorry for your loss, it really does leave a void, which cannot be filled, but it is human nature to move on.

Jackson is the cutest little thing, and I'm sure he will bring you as much joy and lots of doggy kisses Big Grin

Hello Mark and welcome from me and the kids Big Grin

You've managed to move a grown man to tears with that intro and not afraid to say broken heart Sitting here now , at the computer with my 2 year old girl in the chair with me and her head on my lap , feeling Tommy's breath on my feet as I type and to me when it comes to that time It doesn't even bear thinking about.

We do have a Pet Memorial section to the forum so if you ever feel up to it would be lovely and a tribute to your old girl to see a few pics

https://staffy-bull-terrier.niceboard.com/f38-pet-memorial-forum

Anyway to happier times Jackson is a stunning looking boy and sure he will bring some smiles back into your life, so please keep us posted on his progress , as Caryll says though love to see his pedigree , just to see if Tommy has any relations in there Big Grin

Mark, I've got one huge lump in my throat, it does so hurt to lose your loyal friend and people are right, the void doesn't fill and all sorts of emotions run riot inside you. Time heals the grief but nothing thankfully takes away the memories. Enjoy Jackson, he's a lovely little lad!! R.I.P Carla! Run free!
