Hello All-
After a very long absence, the gang and I are back. Stanford continues to do very well, and is his usual feisty self. He is now 11, has no teeth, and continues to think he is the king of the neighborhood- attempting to charge after the "big dogs", who run in a pack and are a general problem for our neighborhood. I let him chase them for a few seconds, then holler: "Grandpa! You have no teeth!" and scoop him up. Boy, those big dogs run like the wind from him. LOL
Much will be changing for us in the next month or so. I resigned from my job at the state prison, as family obligations will be taking us (Stanford, big dog, and now three cats) to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area very soon. Looking for work there, and trying to find suitable housing. I have visited there maybe three times, but have no real idea of life there. So any help would be appreciated. It does look like there are some good dog parks there, which is a big plus (none here in our current location).
My mother is elderly, and needs more assistance than my aunt can currently provide. Aunt is younger, but actually has more health issues of concern than mother. They live together for now, but that will change next year, and I want to be closer by and in a better position to assist as needed.
It is nice to be back, and I hope to hear from some of you on how you are doing. I believe that my original story on "finding" Stanford (otherwise known as "Myles" at the time) is probably in the archives somewhere.
Best,
Matthew
