I also had a Staffie (long legged) called Max a long time ago Lady Joan. He was a supreme wall jumper of note. After my divorce Max was left with my ex where he grew fat and later died. Staffies are wonderful dogs and congrats with your adoption! Blessings!
He has been a wonderful addition to the family, never realized you suffered empty house syndrome once they had all passed on. I was adamant no more after the heartbreak, Woody new best!
