Stanley, the Dog of the Day
Name: Stanley
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male Breed: Dachshund
Home: Crescent City, Florida, USA
 
   Two months after my Boston Terrier Stella died, a purebred Dachshund came into our yard. We live on five acres in the woods so I was quite surprised to see this dog show up. He had a collar and tag on so I called the telephone number on the tag and the lady told me it was not her dog and that she only has two poodles. Seventeen days later after putting up posters and posting a "Lost" ad in the local paper our neighbor on the next five acres asked us if we found a Dachshund. She told us his name was Powwow and that the dog belonged to her mother who was now in a nursing home and that we could have him. Since Stella was now gone, with a little play on words, I named Stanley Powwowski after Stanley Kowalski from "Street Car Named Desire."

    Stanley is a wonderful addition to our home with eight cats. He plays outside all day with the cats and sleeps in the shade with them. Stanley doesn't know what a toy because the cats are his toys. Stan is a one person dog, he snaps at my husband when we try to kiss. Stan loves to sleep under the covers when we let him and it's always between us, nice and cozy.
