Tara the "Staffie"

My stepson came home one evening. Could he have a dog? We all talked about it and eventually said yes.
A week later little Tara came to us. She was only six weeks old and should have still been with her mother but her poor mum was worn out.
I was expecting my daughter at the time. I got things like "A Staffie and your having a baby" you better watch out!!

Anyway Tara used to sleep on my bump with her head on my sholder.
When I came home from the hospital I introduced Tara to Ceilidh, It was as if Tara already knew who she was.
When I put my daughter in the pram in the garden to have a sleep Tara slept at the side of the pram. Whenever my daughter woke up Tara used to come in and tell me.

Now thats a truley evil dog for you NOT

What a great story, just goes to show how wrong people are.

like this story i have always believed that dogs are evil and aggressive only if people made them to be.

can't beat a staff

My Aunti has always had Staffs. When she became pregnant with twins she had 1 Staff male, by the time she was nealy due they got 2 bitches so they could grow up with the children. I have been down many times to see them all. The children (now 5yr old) can do anything with the 3 Staffs. It goes to show that they dont deserve the rep that people give them.

awwwww how sweet ive got goosebumps now!!

I had 3 little kids when I got my first two staffs, they were brilliant with them..Perfect family dog.....

Perfect family dog.....

i agree, i have 2 staffys and 3 kids... my youngest son is 4 and they get on great
when my dogs play with him, they are gentle because they know hes only young....

however when i am on my knees in the garden and toy fighting with them myself, they almost drag me round the garden hahah

we come back in when they have enough.... my clothes thats is :O
whoops, ripped top.... thats another one for wearing to work then lol

Wot a fab story.

My kids have grown up with staffs and they have both said that when they get older they will have thier own staffs just like Jas and Tammy (my old bitch)

aww what a lovely story! Ive still to meet my first staff!
