One of Monte's People

Monte Saw His Sister Mattie!

Monte went for his post op appointment and ran in to his birth sister Mattie! We walked in and her owner Jerry asked "did you adopt @ Beagles and Buddies?" Of course they were from the same litter!

Now you have to understand the Monte boy weighs 9.25 lbs. - Mattie weighs 22 POUNDS! They totally look alike and so it is funny to see size difference!

Puppy Park @ Sepulveda Basin

Monte met cousins Jack and Patrick @ a great no leash park in the SFV @ the Sepulveda basin. The boys had a great time and I think the Monte boy was happy to see his cousins and his Auntie Sarah!

Monte of course made friends with all the doggies and the men! We met some cool doggies and spent 2 hours running, fetching, tug of waring, etc!

Hopefully we will go back on Friday.

Two Week SummaryI'

Well, Monte is going home tomorrow. He has learned a lot and is doing really well. I'm just going to include a whole bunch of pictures in this post.

This one is Jackson and Monte playing tug. That bottle (a gift from Honnie!) Is Jack's absolute favourite toy. It took Jack a little bit to learn to share nicely, but in the end he go it.

The Second Picture - Monte actually got his head stuck int he dog slipper. I thought it was pretty funny. Sadly, my picture is slightly mis-timed. You get the idea.

Monte was TIRED and found himself prime sleeping location. The blanket was fresh out of the dryer and warm. To be honest, I'm pretty sure Monte moved the pillows to suit his needs - they are never like that.

Jack was jealous that Monte had the best sleeping spot... but let him be.

Jack and Monte patiently wait for their training turns. I usually work with one dog at a time, keeping the others in the pen. This way there aren't other puppies causing distractions or stealing well earned treats! (Patrick is a BAD treat stealer!)

The rest of the pictures are just the boys suntanning. I would like to point out that the dogs think the camera means "come" and will rarely stay put while taking photos. This sun photos involved me putting the dogs on the black mat, and giving them all a down and stay command. Obviously they all listened quite well.

The tricky part was getting them to all look at the camera. It was not easy.

SUCCESS!!

Monte's People are coming home Sunday!

We can't wait to see him! Krista and Bianca are greatful for all the loving care that the Monte Boy got from Uncle Jared and Auntie Sarah while we were in Hawaii. They have cared for him, loved him, trained him, cleaned his poop disasters, took him for neutering -- THEY DID IT ALL! I know Monte will miss Jackson (Mr. Swanky PUP) and Patrick and he looks forward to doggie dates with his cousins in the near future!

Thursday

Monte has some serious diarrhea today. I think it probably relates to all the food his stole from Jackson and Patrick yesterday (he gobbled up the entire bowl - twice - in like 1 minute flat -normally I lock them up when I feed them, but failed yesterday). The only upside to this is, he has managed NO accidents today, which is a first for him. I took him out to walk first thing this morning, still no outside washrooming. Tomorrow I think I'm going to take them all to the dog park.

Today's photos: Monte's Impressive Wingspan, Monte doing his best trick (sleeping), and Monte hogging the bed on Patrick!
