His hair is growing back in nicely, and he is actually getting a thick coat of hair, more than I thought he might get. I will post some updated pics soon.
However, yesterday: The "teapot" (as we lovingly nicknamed him) was assaulted by an unruly two year old. His mother came down to visit me, and all of the older boys were nicely petting Stanford, when Stannie decided to jump down off the bench outside and take a stroll around the yard. The toddler darted over as if to pet Stannie, then hauled off and kicked him in the ass! Stanford darted out of reach, but the child charged him and kicked him in the jaw.
I really like kids, but this little brat...well, Mommy put him in a useless time out, which he broke and came running over to me, as I had Stanford in my arms. He tried to reach for him, and I told him "NO", and that it was not nice to hurt the dog. He laughed. I leaned down and told him to "knock it the H*** off, or you'll be in a world of hurt, young man".
He ran to Mommy, who was most surprised that he was now listening. LOL
Stanford is just fine. Pissed off at the kid, so it is good thing that he has no teeth left. Good thing those were tiny feet.
If Stannie had been injured, that child would have been hauled up by his diapers and attached to my flagpole!
So no more toddlers.
Stanford + toddler = disaster. FOR THE KID. |
