Happy 10th Birthday, Monty!Before another day gets away from me, I have to take a moment and reflect on the last 10 years of my life that have been shared by the worlds greatest dog (I know...we all own the world's greatest dog, don't we?) but Monty sure is something else.

I can't imagine a day going by anymore without him in it. He is my starter dog and he got me off to one heck of a rocky start in both dog ownership and training but through it all we have both grown to be better together than either one of us could hope to be apart. He is my heart dog.

I thank the Van Dycks for trusting me with that little bundle of energy (and teeth!) all those years ago.
I treasure the people and dogs I've met and gotten to know because of him (Hello, moosedoggers!!).

If I hadn't fallen head over heels in love with him as an example of the breed, I wouldn't also now share my home and heart with two other not too shabby moosedogs, Quinn & Toby.

So here's to Wolfsheim's Kissing Buddy "Montana" CD, otherwise known as Monty, Bud and Horseface. I love you Buddy. Thanks for being a part of my world for the last 10 years and here's to many, many more years together.
