My wife and I are bully breed lovers. We recently added Barley to our home to fill the void left from losing our 7yo AmStaff to cancer in August, his name was Fergus. Fergus was my first bully and he touched my heart and all of those who met him in an astonishing way. There will never be another pup like him and we miss him ever day.
RIP my dude, My Fergus

Her and Fergus played fantastically and were pretty good buddies, never really a bonded pair but they surely enjoyed each other's company. She is a spritely little pup at 50lbs with a 4.5 foot vertical from a stand still. She has a lot to say especially while playing, not sure if she was trying to make up for being smaller by being loud.

He is very playful with dogs and humans alike but doesn't quite understand his size yet. Maddie gets a little grumpy with him now and again also initiates play in the times they are allowed together (we are currently practicing a crate-rotate method to introduce Barley to the family). We are looking forward to seeing his personality and their relationship grow as time goes on.
Beautiful dogs you have.. 
& yes I agree they leave a massive void when they leave us
