I am so sad and heartbroken hear of Smokey's passing. He was a big personality and it made me so happy when Nicky and David rescued him. Under their care he healed and bloomed and revealed the loving boy that he was. I will never forget our walks where he would charge up to his (sometimes unsuspecting) adoring fans, tail wagging and full of the joys of life. Nicky and David gave that to him alongside Harry who loved to play with (and sometimes be told of by) him. He made our lives richer, showing a forgiveness of humans, some of whom had abandoned him in the past.
I loved this little hippo of a Staffie and took every opportunity to fuss him when I could. I am so glad that I saw him when I was in the UK in July. He surprised us all with his stamina and ability despite his years but he has been called to the Rainbow Bridge from the loving arms of his family and friends who will miss him so very, very much. RIP beloved cheeky boy xxx
Nicky and David, your pain will never go away but it will ease with time. Rejoice in the life you gave him, he knew he was loved and thrived under your care. Much love to you both and Harry xxx Maria & Andy

Smokey was a boy Wonder... no one could ever believe his age and his microchip didnt lie...he was destined to live a long life and yet sadly that meant the clock was ticking. Smokey died with his family surrounding him and so he left surrendered into their love and deep care. Fly Smokey you wonder boy you are admired in life and will be also in death... forever
My love to Nicky, David and Harry.. take heart you couldnt do more or offer him more he had a fantastic life with you all

Dear Nicky, David and Harry,
We are so desperately sad to hear that you have lost your darling Smokey. We only met him a few times, but we remember having lovely cuddles with him in the kennel car park, where he went round us all in turn for snuggles, and then made a second circuit to share the love. We are thinking of you all at this painful time. You gave him the most wonderful life that he truly deserved and he will always be with you.
Love to you all Jacqui, Caroline and Tansy xxx
