Personality Explosion!!!
 

Well, it finally happened. We get to see the "real" Stanford, now that his mouth is healing up, and he is perhaps pain free for the first time since...?
He starts the day by yapping for his breakfast. Eats, then runs around enticing me to play with him for a short time. He then barks at the cats to get off THEIR window ledge so he can look out the window. He stands watch, and barks at stray cats, other dogs, and the birds outside in the yard.
He is much less interested in sleeping the day away, and much more interactive.
My partner was here for a few days, and I caught him petting and kissing Stanford, who was lapping it up. Partner denied this when caught. But Stannie went in a plopped himself on partners bag when it was time for him to leave!
Now Stanford is coming into different rooms in the house, like the office (which he never did before). He barks and taps my legs to be picked up. Does not like to be in the other room if I am in here, so I bring the bed in here, and he curls up on top of the printer.
Very into hand and face licking, and leaping from chair to cat perch to other chair to floor, and repeating.
A bundle of energy now. What a delightful change. I was going easy on him as I thought he was old, wanted to sleep, etc... but since the teeth came out, he is experiencing a PERSONALITY EXPLOSION!
And I could not be happier. I love him so much.
Thanks for letting me rave about the old man.:rolleyes:

AWW...That's great glad to see he is feeling better.:)

it sounds like Stanford has found a wonderful loving home..I'm so happy for you

What wonderful news, I actually teared up reading that!!!!

How nice that Stannie is feeling so much better that his personality is coming out .It sounds like he is showing all of you who is boss now .

I am so happy for both Stannie and YOU!! He sounds like all the other Yorkies now. I bet that soon you will see other improvements in him as well. Congrats!! :)

Okay...first of all...STANFORD....LOVE that name. And I love the little picture you just painted of him, wonderful. Thanks for sharing, that was a treat. :D

Well, Matthew!! Looks like there's a new Sheriff in town!!! :sidesplt: It's amazing when they show their true colors! I am so happy for you and for Stannie! :p

Stanford, you are my hero!!
 

Great Job Stanford!! Suck Matthew in to thinking he's taking in an aging frail old man that needs nothing but a bed and some TLC. Wait until he's too far gone to protest and then EXPLODE with your real personality.

Stannie - you are my hero for being such a genius!! :thumbup:

Matthew you are AWESOME. Thank you so much for sharing stories of Stanford. I am so very glad that he is feeling so much better and getting so spunky. You are indeed Stannie's real life angel.

He is just letting you know how great he is feeling.
Isn't it wonderful to watch them race around without a care.

Wow, wow, WOW!!!!

I missed reading your entire story before, so I just spent a very long time looking up your old threads and following this whole saga!!!

WOW!!!

What a very incredible and wonderful rescue story, from beginning to end!

And of course, now this is just a NEW beginning!

You for sure need to keep posting....and updating....and sharing pictures....and stories!! Sounds like Stannie has had quite a fan club here....and count me in as the newest member!

how fabulous that Stanford has taken a stand ;) -- it sounds like Stannie boy is quite the character - telling the cats off & sitting on the bag -- what a boy!
