I haven't  posted on here in a long while, life took over.
On the 21st August our beautiful brindle boy had a spinal stroke apparently if a dog breed is going to have one it's a staffie.

Anyway after our local vet had us rush him to the wonderful lumbry park, where after 6 days things looked like they were starting to look up, his back end was gaining strength and he had started to urinate by himself.
So finally we were allowed to bring our furbaby back home to shower him with love. We had missed him so much, the following day was daddies birthday we all were so happy.
For some reason he hadn't urinated since being home, so we had to take him back to our vet for them to empty his bladder.
On the Friday night we thought he had turned a corner again as we thought he had urinated on his own but no he had just leaked, we had noticed weakness returning in his back legs and he hadn't been himself since having his bladder emptied. He had aged overnight. We had to make the heartbreaking decision to let him go, he was tired, his spark had gone. We had our beautiful brindle boy for 7yrs 5months and we miss him so much. He was the best dog in every way. We wish we could have done more.
Ben pup mummy, daddy, your boy Connor and millie miss you so much. We will always love you my gorgeous boy xx

aw bless,yes Ben wasnt always the brightest love him,would run into doors and generally have a nutty five minutes.We always said what he lacked in brains he made up for in stomachs!
Ben was "rescued" along with his brother Ben (my father in law named them as he fostered them before they were rehomed and got them back to health)at 2 weeks old as the person was selling them as "pedigree" at that age.They had both types of mange and their little tummys were rammed full of worms apparently the mother was nowhere to be seen and the conditions werent at all great.
He really was the best pup,and brilliant with both my kids,the eldest one who has a health condition where he can choke(tof/oa)Ben would sit with him while he was eating and if he had any issues he would startt growling or woofing to alert us-we never did train him to do it-he just knew.
Did you ever get another staffie?i cant go through this pain again,2 weeks later im still crying,the kids are missing him terribly crying

We lost Gus when he was very young, I didn’t leave the house for two weeks as I was in such a state! I said we would never ever have a dog again. Roll on a year and three months and we now have Seren home with us. We still miss Gus so much but are happy we decided to get Seren. Things will get better but it’s going to take time.

She’s certainly keeping us busy that’s for sure. It’s crazy how attached we get to them, but they give us so much love it’s impossible not to. I have no doubt Ben was spoiled rotten and had a fantastic life with you and you will have brilliant memories to cherish.

What a tragic story for Ben - so sorry for your loss but it sounds like he had the best life with you, especially after his tough start in life.

Give yourself time to heal and I’m sure your path will cross another friend in need somewhere in the future, when the time is right for you all.
