...because there are two examples included of stolid in a sentence, I will just add my two cents instead. This word is often confused with the word "solid" and it's easy to see why. Instead of mixing them up, I suggest that if you didn't know the meaning of the word "stolid" before today....use the word "solid" to help you remember what it means. I'm going to think of "stolid" as an emotional "solid."

My dog Murphy can be very stolid.
