Stanley

It was one year ago when we first brought Stanlee (Stanny, as he is known to our family) home from Pug Luv. He just celebrated his birthday with us last week. He is the central part of our lives now and we can’t imagine how we ever got along without him. He has been happy and loving from day one and never had any trouble adjusting. We have taught him how to wait, shake, and give kisses on command. He also knows “stay” and “come” but has difficulty doing those when he is distracted, which is most of the time. J He has so many stuffed toys now that we keep having to upgrade to a bigger toy box and he plays with all of them. Many of them are monkey as they are his favorite. One of his favorite things to do is pile several toys up on the couch to snuggle with him. I think we’ve counted as many as 12 toys on the couch at one time! He loves playing outside in the sun and going for walks as long as they are not too long. (When the walk is too long, he lets us know he’s tired by dramatically collapsing on his stomach without warning.) He also loves going “bye bye,” which is anywhere we go in the car. He immediately jumps up and goes to the door excitedly when he hears the word “bye bye.” He’s recently discovered the joy of going to Dairy Queen and getting a spoon of ice cream fed to him by the person working the drive-through just for looking so cute so this is one of his favorite outings. One thing he is not a fan of is wearing clothes, but we put him in them sometimes anyway. He looks too adorable in them not to, as you can tell from his picture. J We love our Stanny pug so much and are so grateful to Pug Luv for giving us the opportunity to bring him into our lives! Thanks, Mindy
