“My favourite type of pet has always been a dog. They’re loyal, kind, and offer endless affection. My friend Eric says, ‘The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.’ Funny thought.” – Brendon Urie

Ben the Jack Russel was really my first dog. I had persuaded my mam & dad after 15 years to have one and he finally arrived. Jude already had a fully functional pet home. There was Trixie the mother of Bobby & Suzie. There was Dylan but he couldn’t live with Bobby his brother so he was re-homed. That’s Suzie sat on Jude’s bed and often found inside for long hours….she was a first class rascal.

When we got married Ben remained with mam & dad and within months Stan the Staffie arrived. An absolute amazing dog, We had the privilege of sharing our life with him for 12 years. When he died it broke our heart and we ended up going away for a few days, He was a massive loss to us. There is no doubt one of the best breeds for a pet, strong yet soft, loving but cheeky !

Then finally, the terrible twins came along, Suzie & Millie. The last in the litter, the best £50 we have spent. They hiked everywhere with us. Suzie was an incredible swimmer and Millie could hold her breath and dive….yes its true. They fought a lot early on but settled after a while. Suzie could smell a Mole and Millie would dig it out of the ground. They were unique and very special. Suzie lived till 17 and Millie to 21…………Wonderful memories.
