Yesterday, as usual, was a busy day here at Casa Kennedy.

I got up early and went in to work at 6am and worked until 11. Came home and had a client here for 2 1/2 hrs for a business card photo shoot. When that finished up, Darryl and I snuck Monty out of the house without Quinn noticing and took him for a leisurely afternoon drive to all of his favourite haunts...we went to Sue's Pet Value where Sue and her daughter fussed over him and gave him treats and rubs and lots of love.
From there we went to Petsmart where we ran into another elkhound!! UNHEARD of around here...

At Petsmart, we let Monty pick out a toy...he picked a large green loofa dog. Good news for Quinn since he'd stollen her smaller purple loofa dog she got for her b'day in February!

Birthdays here mean an out of this world supper and yesterday was no exception...

We stopped at the butchers and got some bison (!!) for supper.

We came home and I made bison stew with rosemary, garlic, parsley, whole wheat pasta, peas, carrots & green beans. It smelled DIVINE. Darryl wanted a bowl, too!!

While dinner cooled on the counter, I took advantage of the studio equipment still being set up from the afternoon photo shoot to take some photos of the b'day boy.

Poor Monty was so tuckered out from his day that not too long after that great supper, he crashed out for the night.


What an amazing dog he's become. We've have good times and bad over the years. He was very headstrong and willful in his youth - a challenge to train - but worth every single moment of it for the mellow, loving, sweet boy he's become.

So happy 9th, Horseface...here's to many, MANY more.
