I said never again ! - 2 new pups - New pics 23rd May

by J Collingridge Mon May 16 2011, 12:03

I used to have two Staffy's - Spike & Saffy.

We got Saffy after I met my Wife because Spike was jealous as he has me to himself since he was 8 weeks old. Im sorry to say that Spike was poisoned with paracetamol that someone fed him, We lived in a bad area of Bradford at the time and I've no idea why someone would do that. The next week we moved to Huddersfield and a couple of weeks later Saffy was in the garden and someone took her !! Turned out that 8 Staffys were stolen In Huddersfield that day !!!!!

So ..... I said never again ........ Then 5 years after loosing Spike & Saffy my wife comes home with this for my birthday Laughing

This is IO and she is 8 weeks old in these pics (she's 10 weeks now)

Now the really crazy thing is that IO was one of two girls left in the litter and my wife felt bad about leaving the other one behind. She didn't have enough cash on her so went back the next day .... We now have 2 pups, IO and Ricia.

Both are fantastic girls who love to play, chase the cat and sleep on each other haha. Its great to have Staffys in the house again Big Grin

Ricia really hates the camera so Im working on some pictures.

Are you selling IO?
May sound like a strange question I know, but let me explain.

If you are not, then somebody has been on the site and stolen one of your pics and placed it with an advert on epupz. The one of her sitting staring into the sky.

Take a look

http://www.epupz.co.uk/clas/viewdetails.asp?view=420747

Just saw the pic and thought, Ive seen that dog somewhere before.

same here wonder whats happened

by Guest Tue Jun 14 2011, 16:05

far out.. that's abit scarey isn't it?? !!

by Guest Tue Jun 14 2011, 16:17

Is it for real...?

by chloexxx Tue Jun 14 2011, 16:20

That is really bad, the OP didn't come across as any of his pups being up for sale..

Not comfortable with that at all

by **Bruno311210** Tue Jun 14 2011, 16:38

the seller come under Mr jay collingridge

He wrote on the advert, Unforeseen job offer that includes relocating across the country forces a very reluctant sale,

by **Bruno311210** Tue Jun 14 2011, 17:00

but didn't he have two ? don't see the other one for sale unless someone he know is having the other pup.

by Guest Tue Jun 14 2011, 17:12

I didn't see the name on the advert but I think that's the same name as the OP.
We don't know the circumstances and the OP hasn't been on here for a few days, so it's probably not up to us to judge why/where and how.
I would be heart broken if a job choice forced me to relocate and my girls couldn't come with me, but that would never happen anymore anyway as I'm too old Laughing

by **Bruno311210** Tue Jun 14 2011, 17:29

I only saw the name because that is where i found Bruno and you have to pay £7.99 to get the address and phone numbers of people who are selling the dogs/puppies , i guess that membership and probably lasts a year.

by Guest Tue Jun 14 2011, 20:05

I'm not quite sure what to say, I'm really shocked. As Lee says, not our place to judge, but I'm really surprised. Hope all is ok.

by **gem** Tue Jun 14 2011, 21:52

Its not our place to judge but hope the poor baby is okay Sad

by **Bruno311210** Wed Jun 15 2011, 07:08

I wasn't judging, I just gave the name of the person selling the puppy.

Anne, I was aware you were only giving info you had seen on the ad, I don't think anyone thought you were judging Smile

I was just generalising that without all the facts we all have to keep an open mind, even though our initial reaction is one of surprise & concern. Surprised

by **Bruno311210** Wed Jun 15 2011, 14:38

This is very true : )

by Guest Wed Jun 15 2011, 20:13

I didn't think you were judging either Anne, I just didnt want people starting something here without knowing the facts, it wasn't aimed at you at all Smile

by **Bruno311210** Wed Jun 15 2011, 21:36

i know
