I picked up our dogs when noone else was able to look after them. I'm sure someone will take this staffie and love him to bits.

Got her a month before I was diagnosed, a beautiful, loving affectionate dog. But, typical staffie - thick as a plank. I cant give her the exercise she needs as a young active dog, I cant give her the training she needs to be socialised, I am not strong enough anymore to hold her back if she decides to piss off. No voice commands in place, purely optional to her. been picking her up all over the suburb, over major roads, shes been lucky. - so, shes gone. Feel like an absolute bastard, hope she finds a good home. Bye bye Maxi. Andrew the oldhippy.
