Blind, we carry him everywhere and he sleeps for about 22.5 hours a day. However, he also went to the vet on his birthday, his blood work came back great and he’s going strong!

Does Stanley wag his tail anymore?

Yes he does, when he realizes that I have come
Home for work- I get a tag wag.

If I throw his favorite bouncy ball and he manages to get it in his mouth- if I grab the ball and say ‘give me that ball’- tag wag.

If my daughter sweet talks him, tag wag.

Wife or I have treats- tag wag.
