My boyfriend had wanted a dog for a long while, especially a staffie, but since we already had a cat I was not keen on the idea. However after a few months my dad had called us to say that he had a Staffie. Well as soon as I seen him I fell in love with him and began to come around to the idea. One night we were talking about it and i started to search the internet for an idea of costs as we wanted a Blue. It must have been fate because a few calls later we had arranged to go and see a 6 1/2 week girl the very next day. We had been advised that she was around £450 so we discussed this and decided that the very most we would pay would be £350 - after all it is only a dog. Well I should have prepared myself more because as soon as she was in my arms I fell in love with her. She was bright blue and absolutely adorable. £400 later we left with her. we racked our brains trying to think of a suitable name for this little bundle of blue fur and when my boyfriend suggested Skye i immediately knew that it was perfect. 8 months on Skye is huge and still the baby of the house. We have had our ups and downs with her for example chewing the corner of a £2000 sofa, new shoes, clothes and whatever she can get her teeth into. But I can honestly say that I do not know what I would do without her. She is the most lovable dog I have ever known and you simply cannot move for her as she likes to be right next to you whenever you are around her. She sleeps in between myself and my boyfriend in bed, literally underneath the covers with her head on the pillow. Its either that or her crying as she does not like being on her own. I can honestly say that whatever you read about in the press for example Staffordshire Bull Terriers are viscious animals and nasty, take one look at Skye and you would see that they are nothing like that. In fact I trust her more than anything - not sure the cat would agree though!!

Summary: If you like attention this is the dog for you!!
