No no no. I'm not looking 🐶🐶 Are you warming to my two-hounds-solve-the-grass-cutting-dilema idea? I am sure Huey would love a brother and play mate. xx

I don't blame you. Monty sounds lovely and if my present circumstances were different I might be tempted as well. xx

Monty was fully house trained yesterday and no accidents all day. I've taken him out in the morning with Sadie and then he gets another solo short walk in the evening , that seems to work well. He spent last night on my bed mostly curled up around my legs or head resting on my legs, light as a feather so not a problem. Sadie stayed downstairs on the settee last night so she seemed quite happy and just accepts him compltely now.

Sounds like Monty has made himself well and truly at home.

Another 2 firsts this morning. I took Monty out for a walk with Sadie and he was doing his gentle strolling along at the side of me on a loose lead and then all of a sudden he pulled like he had suddenly found his stregnth and enthusiasm for life again, took me by surprise but managed to hold on LOL. Later in the morning he had been chatting to the gardener and then came back in , gardener walked round the house and Monty stood in the hall listening and suddenly said "Woof" First time he has barked besides his Saluki warble at Sadie on first day. He also greeted the post lady nicely on his lead when she knocked the door. I had to keep shaking him off my legs last night as that was where he wanted to sleep , anchoring me down. Will try and get some more photos uploaded in a minute Click each one to enlarge and view

Lovely photos Carol. I particularly like the one where Monty is in classic lurcher pose hanging off the armchair.

Monty has just discovered that toys are quite fun, he wasn't too sure about a flashing orange bone or a honking yellow turkey but a squeaky hedgehog did the trick, he started flinging it about and squeaking it, now contentedly disemboweling it.

I forgot the other story, last night Monty was curled up in a tight ball on my bed by my feet and I tried to push him over to make room for my feet. He didn't budge and rolled right over tucked up in a tight ball like a Woodlouse/Armadillo!

Wonderful update. It really sounds like Monty has realised what life is like for a loved dog and is relaxing and trying new stuff.

As if to prove the point, he just fell off the settee LOL

A couple more firsts from this morning, Monty was in the car with Sadie coming home from their walk and he had a proper bark at a GSD walking on the pavement, later the same at a big white fluffy husky type so he seems to be guarding us now, any tips on discouraging this welcome! When he got home , he had his first upside down with legs in the air roach on the settee, went to get camera and of course he sprang up to follow me. Tried throwing a few balls for him earlier in the house and he just looked at me as though I was having a tantrum throwing things around LOL.

I'm off to collect Monty this afternoon, he has been to see Graham to "be done!" I've just phoned up and he is doing well and is presently recovering. I think he knew what I told him last night because he didn't sleep on my feet. Sadie stayed downstairs and Monty slept on Sadie's bed on the floor of my bedroom.
