It’s with a heavy heart I announce Stan’s passing. Stan (Statler) 19, passed away December 14, 2022 in the loving arms of his mom. His birthdate is unknown, originally from Harvey, Illinois. In 2019 Stan and eight other dogs were found living in a backyard when their owner went into hospice. He and his parter Millie Mouse (Camilla) were adopted in October 12,2019 as a bonded pair.

Stan married the love of his life Millie Mouse December 31,2019. He enjoyed spending time with his family, traveling, and his beloved Instagram, Facebook, and Tik Tok fans from around the world. He would never turn down a glass of water and enjoyed life to the fullest.

Stan is survived by his mom and dad, and brother and sister and his loving followers.

He has preceded in death by his wife Millie Mouse, his brother and best friend George E. Clooney and Lola Lou.

A possible celebration of life might be planned in the future.

Stan knows how loved he was by everyone. It’s so hard to find the right words to say at this time. ❤️

Please know if you leave a message I might not read it tonight but I will for sure in the future.

🌈 Sometimes, the universe has a way of bringing us unexpected gifts. 💔 When I opened an envelope all the way from Australia, I was met with a breathtaking oil painting of my beloved Ralphie Fox, who left us in December.

Back in November, when Annelie asked which dog I wanted her to paint, I chose Ralphie, never imagining how meaningful that decision would become. This portrait captures him in such vivid detail his soulful micro eye and those larger than life ears are perfectly represented. ❤️

It feels like he’s back with me, if only for a moment. Annelie’s talent is nothing short of impressive, and knowing that the proceeds went to help a family member makes it all the more special.

Thank you, Ralphie Fox, for the love you brought into our life. You may be gone, but your spirit shines brightly through this beautiful work of art. 🌈 🐾

Happy Bat Appreciation Day! 🦇 This little guy is ready to take flight into a day full of adventures! Did you know that bats are the only flying mammals? They help pollinate plants and control insect populations. Let’s celebrate these amazing creatures and their unique contributions to our ecosystem! #BatAppreciationDay #ShihtzuMix #SmallDog #BlackDog by @hotseniorpups

It’s hard to believe such a precious dog could be so neglected. ❤️‍🩹 When Rocco was brought to the shelter as an adult dog, the first week of February, he weighed just 4.1 pounds. We brought him home February 13th. He couldn’t eat fast enough. I didn’t want him to get bloat. I decided to feed him smaller meals, five times a day.

I’m so proud of where he is today at 5.8 pounds. He is so happy and brings so much joy to our lives. ❤️

Had an amazing day yesterday with Rocco at an art fair featuring one of our favorite artists, @andrecaceresg ! 🎨 Rocco even got his portrait done, and it was such a treat to see Andrea, who has been capturing our dogs in her art for years. If you missed it, don’t worry - Andrea will be hosting more pop - up shows in the future, and she’s still showcasing her work today! She also has an online store. 🐶 ✨ @theotherartfair #DogArt #SmallDog #TheOtherArtFair #ShihtzuLover #DogGifts by @hotseniorpups

✨ My heart is so happy it could burst! ❤️

Meet Rocco, our newest family member! In just over a week, he has captured our hearts, and we’re already head over heels for him. Rocco is a beautiful blend of our beloved past dogs: he has the adorable Shih Tzu face of our cherished George E. Clooney 🌈, the sweetness and playful spirit of our dear Stan, and the feisty attitude of our beloved Ralphie.

While Rocco and Vinny are still finding their footing together, I can already see the promise of a deep bond forming between them. It’s been wonderful to watch their relationship blossom, and I’m taking my time to ensure they acclimate comfortably.

Rocco joined our family from the @humanesochobart , where they took great care of him by removing his matting and having him neutered just a couple of weeks ago. He still has a full dental care routine ahead, but we’re committed to giving him the best life possible.

I know many of you loved our old pups, and I hope you’ll join us in welcoming Rocco and Vinny on this journey. Their story is just beginning, and I can’t wait to share more of their adventures with you all.

Here’s to new beginnings and the love that grows over time! 🐾💕
