The owners of Keano have been in touch to say that he has recently passed away.
Please see below for his epitaph from his owners.
I adopted him from you in February 2008, he was 18 months old and we had 9 wonderful years.
He passed away on May 17th. He would have been 11 this month. Not old. My friends tell me he had a good happy life so I shouldn’t feel bad, but it is very hard isn’t it? He went with the love of his life – a tennis ball. He was never without one 24/7.
One of his antics was that he would drop a ball in front of him and flick it with a front paw back between his legs then whizz round and try and catch it before it went too far. He spent ages doing this happily playing on his own!! He spent a lot of time doing things he knew annoyed
He spent ages doing this happily playing on his own!! He spent a lot of time doing things he knew annoyed me, like dropping balls in the fish pond and on the garden where Id just planted seeds! Too smart for his own good but such fun.
Greatly missed.
Best Wishes

The owners of one of our rescue dogs have been in touch to say that their dog Smudge has recently passed away.
Please see below for his epitaph from his owners.
We would like to inform you that our beloved rescue Springer smudge has sadly passed away at the grand old age of 17.
We had 10 lovely yrs with her since she came to us in August 2006.
Smudge has been a great companion to our 4 grandsons and loved visits to out caravan in Singleton. When she was younger she was energetic and very playful but in the past few years has found it more and more difficult to get about.
We will all miss her dearly. Our son and daughter in law are in the process of re-homing a rescue springer from yourselves and we look AAforward to being Springer grandparents very soon ( We would love this to be posted on your website)
The owners of one of our rescue dogs have been in touch to inform us of his recent passing:(
Please see below for some words from his owners.
We got Max and Jazz, brother and sister, from the NWESSR in June 2010.
They were just turning seven they couldn’t wait to get in the car! We were told to feed Jazz separate else she would pinch Max’s food, on the one hand, she was very protective of him on the other she hogged all the toys and would hover to lick his bowl!
When Jazz first arrived she was stress incontinent and kept hiding behind her bed under the TV stand. Both of them had a bad start in life and though they had been rehomed before coming to us they had regressed. With the help and advice from NWESSR, we got through and Jazz became an affectionate and happy dog.
She loved her cuddly toys and she loved going out in the car going for paddles all the things spaniels love! In June 2016 Jazz was diagnosed with a 70% mass which turned out to be a tumor she fought a brave battle but in May 2017 she was fading fast. we took her on the Leighton Buzzard Steam Railway in her last week as a goodbye.
On Saturday we had to take her to the Vet we had her put to sleep and she went in my arms. Missing her so much heartbroken.

The owners of one of our rescue dogs have been in touch to say that their dog Tuco has recently passed away.
Please see below for his epitaph from his owners.
It is with the greatest of sadness that we wish to inform you of the devastating loss of our beloved boy Tuco.
We adopted Tuco from NWESSR after he had spent many months in kennels in Ireland. He came to us very underweight and we were shown pictures of him that broke our hearts. We fell in love immediately.
Once he came home with us, he very quickly became a massive part of our lives and was a huge part of our hearts. He was the most loving, gentle-natured dog you could ever hope for, and fitted in with our other dogs straight away.
Sadly, on 1st May 2017, we had to make the hardest decision any dog parent has to make. We had to say goodbye to our darling boy. Unfortunately, his back legs were failing, and he deteriorated very quickly. We could not see him suffer, and could not put him through any more distress than he had already had in his early days.
Our boys’ ashes are now back at home and he is with his brothers and sister and is at peace. We miss him terribly every day and still see him in the corner of our eyes from time to time. He will always be with us.
R.I.P. our beautiful boy .. we love you and miss you Tuco … Goodnight xxxxx
We would ask NWESSR to add Tuco to the Gone but not forgotten page.
Kindest regards
Claire and Iain

Hi Everyone,
It is with great regret that I announce that Poppy has crossed the rainbow Bridge. Please find below a message from her owners.
It is with great sadness that on the Tuesday before Christmas we had to have Poppy put to sleep. I have cried ever since as I miss her so very much.
I had her for a wonderful 3 years but at 14 she had recovered from a stroke but was in a lot of pain from arthritis and the vets said there was nothing more they could do.
I hope to have another springer who I’m sure ill I’ve just as much. Goodbye to my best little girl.
Hi Everyone,
We gave Jack and Amber a home in Southport on the 12/4/14. Two beautiful soft caring dogs you could have, they fitted into our family like a jigsaw puzzle piece that had been missing.
They went on the beach for a walk every morning which they both loved. If Jack went off his lead he was like forest Gump ran, ran, ran until he could run no more. As long as Amber had her ball with her she has a happy smile on her face running along the beach, in and out of puddles when they were there, funny sight to watch.
In January Jack had a stroke, he became very confused, he had poor movement on his left side with a lot of quiet time and TLC from us all he made a slight recovery, still went out for his walks on the beach but stopped running just gentle trotting.
On Saturday the 1st April, we took him on his final walk as his legs were very weak, his eyes looked very sad also he had lost control of his bodily functions.
We took him to the vets to get assessed but knew it was Jack,s final ride, he passed peacefully in our arms.
Jack is running free like he used to over rainbow bridge. He is going to be laid to rest under his favourite lavender bush (see picture), when we pick him up from the vets.
Sorry to write this sad news with tears flowing like rivers down my face. We gave him a forever loving home, what he always wanted.

A Farewell to Midge
In November we had to have our English Springer Midge
(aka Sammy) put to sleep after his health and happiness
came to an end following a stroke the previous year.
We brought him home from the rehoming centre nr Runcorn
when he was a sleek and svelte young dog then in 2001.
Midge lived to a fantastic old age – well over 18! Some
members may remember him running about rather dottily
at the NWESSR open days when we were holding the plant
stall.
We like to remember him as always full of energy and vitality- a bright spark.
