Can you believe it? He's doubled in size. He's such a handsome boy.
I did have a bit of a wobble a couple of weeks ago. It was six months since we lost Barney and I felt so guilty. But that's not Monty's fault. He's a lovely little dog.
We've done a bit of puppy training and he's doing ever so well. And I'm very pleased to report that he appears to be house trained. He went back to his breeders for a couple of days while we were away and came back and hasn't peed in the house once since. I'm very impressed. That took four weeks! Fingers crossed it continues.
For all you guys that are bereaved and missing your hounds, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Whenever you're ready, there's another little snuffly puppy waiting for you. Although I still miss my clever devoted old boy I luffs this little chap. He's fast turning into my little shadow. And he loves the kids! Barney never really liked children and would slink off but Monty adores them. They cuddle him and play with him and he follows them about. I'm so glad that they're finally getting to see how rewarding it is to have a dog.
Going pretty well so far.
