Monty the labrador

Mummy and Daddy took me out to Salcey Forest today. Its a great place. I can see why mummy likes it so much. I had a wonderful time getting covered in mud and playing in the puddles. I made lots of new doggy friends and saw a funny looking thing that mummy said was a squirrel. It didn’t want to play though. I hope mummy takes me there again soon.

Hello this is Monty’s mum writing. I thought I should add some context regarding the picture of Monty sitting in the dining chair as he won’t tell you this.    Don’t be fooled by that cute innocent looking face!  Monty went through a phase when he was obsessed with jumping onto chairs and benches. We literally couldn’t walk past one without him wanting to try it out! He particularly loved to sit in this chair and would leap and nip at the occupant until they vacated it after which he would promptly jump onto it and settle down!  On this particular day he had been getting a bit over-excited and the nipping was getting too sore so I had to leave the room to give him time to calm down. When I came back in 5 minutes later I found him comfortably seated in the chair looking sad. He just looked too cute for me to be angry with him! 

Mummy missed some photos off the last post. Here are a few more of my antics! 

Mummy and me were looking at some old photos the other day. I was more interested in tasting her phone and playing with the little pup on the screen. I want to say hello to the new playmate but mummy doesn’t understand and just says that’s me! Anyway here’s a few of mummy’s favourites- he’s a handsome chap (not as handsome as me though)! Relaxing after a frenzied hour of pulling up the sweetpeas and running round the garden!  Time out to think of what chaos I can cause next!  First trip out- Harrold Country Park. Apparently I used to an obsession with jumping onto benches!    Chews taste so much better when consumed on mummy’s lap!  First nap in my new home Oh look a great hiding place for all my treasures!  First trip to the local!  Keeping Daddy’s chair warm!  Mummy cuddles 

Hello, my name is Monty- after the General, or maybe  the gardener- I'm not really sure. Sometimes mummy comes down after my long nap and says hello to someone called Monty Pops. Not sure who she is talking to but humans are weird like that. I don't mind really as I usually get let out straight after. Every morning starts with a big stretch and a yawn. For some reason mummy finds such mundane rituals the cutest thing ever and I get loads of praise and ear tickling which I love. So I gladly perform and do a couple more stretches on the way out. Making mummy happy is my main goal. When she's happy she gives me nice things to eat, ear scratches and tummy rubs- Oh I just can't get enough of those tummy rubs! My favourite things to do (aside from eating of course) include digging, catching balls, running, chewing, stealing socks (worn smelly ones are best but I'm not fussy- I'll take them out of the big noisy spinning machine in the kitchen. Serves the thing righ...
