Life as the magnifiecent Monty

Missing you day after day....

Oh Monty they say time heals all wounds, that may be true although I feel it's more to say time adds more distractions. My heart always aches for you. I wish I had of known sooner, that you were so very ill, I see a glowing sunset and the first thought is of you. You've blessed with Sheeba, a dog truly in need, although you were only around for 12 years, it feels like forever and our love is eternal, all though I don't constantly weep for you, inside I really do, with out Dogster I really don't know what I'd do, I'd be lost, I'd be crushed, such supportive pups through here, each have given you their heart felt blessing and many dogs have come to play with you. We never forget, we will always love, you are that sunshine, those lovely glowing rays, you are the rays, that lighten the darkened sky, you show me the way, with a heart of gold and wings as white as snow, you watch above me as I'd watched over you, I saw you from puppy to dog, every minute full of love, oh Monty, always know I'm thinking of you and bless you for sending me Sheeba. ♥

ADOPT 09 CONTEST

The photo of Monty shows the joy in his eyes and soul that all dogs deserve, Monty was not adopt, instead he came from a pet store and came with a pouch attached o his esophagus which made him bring back his food and water. The vet said if they operated he’d probably die but with it in there he might only live to 5 or 6. Heart broken we agreed to leave it in there. Monty used to throw up everyday and always after eating or drinking. We didn’t loose our temper with him and as he grew older so did the bond, he was a very quick learner and if I was sick he was there for me. He managed to control his problem and didn’t bring back his food. He was great on leash, didn’t pull, knew what was expected, etc. We took him to pet expos and fairs and to parks and rivers. He was an amazing dog.

He was always accepting of the pets we bought into the home. When he was a puppy he was friends with our cat Fudge, they’d sleep together and were great buddies. Sadly Fudge passed away of old age when Monty was young, we bought Tish into the home and Monty wanted to be friends but she swatted and hissed at him. Monty befriended my two guinea pigs as well who he barked and scratched at their cage for about a year. He could sit next to them and he’d just sniff them, the rabbit he wasn’t too sure about but quickly warmed up to. When Coco came he’d bark and chase her for two years then she stood up to him and he became friends.

When I was sad, sick, lonely or happy he’d be there for me, every memory is built with him, when I was sick he’d curl up next to me wagging his little tail. He was very smart and loving and regularly made me smile and laugh; he could pick up on every emotion.

When my nan got a dog her dog was aggressive to other dogs, when she first saw Monty she growled and barked but then after introducing them on neutral territory she quickly warmed up to him. He was her friend and they both loved my nan, Monty used o visit nan and make her smile.

I remember one time when my nan was feeling sad Monty picked up on her emotions and went to comfort her. Many times when I’ve needed that shoulder to cry on he’s been there for me, I could tell him secrets or just chat to him. After bath times he’d go crazy in the yard racing around everywhere, even when he was old he’d go crazy.

He loved car rides and all ways looked forward to it, he was older after a long day out he’d curl up on the back seat and go to sleep. He sure was a dog full of character.

He was a funny little dog, he had to have something in his mouth, it was like a comfort thing. I remember one time I came home and he ran and got a toy plastic teacup and bought it to the door, he also had a favorite toy, a plastic squeaky without the squeaker. The toy is in his picture. He also wasn’t really food motivated but he would do anything for a treat, he was a great learner often wowing the judges at pet expos.


Earlier this year he was off his food and was loosing weight but still ran, jumped and played, showed no signs of pain, also he was sometimes off his food. We took him to the vets, they ran a blood test and it came back with higher enzymes in the kidneys, I was worried that it was bad and mentioned my concern, the vet said no, it’s quiet common in dogs who are off their food to have a higher enzyme rate, we got an ultra sound done and before they said it could be a kidney infection or early kidney failure and they could remove one, I thought it would be something curable, as my best friend (Monty) sat on the floor with his big loving grin the vet said it was cancer, my brain immediately thought they can remove one kidney, he’s a fighter, then the crushing part, it had shut down one kidney, the other was being taken over and they couldn’t save him and he’d be lucky to make a week, I told the vet “well I’ll make his last days happy ones” the vet had a sad look on her face as she hadn’t expected cancer, let alone something this bad, she smiled and said Monty is lucky to have owners like you and mentioned how I said we’d take him to the beach as he enjoyed it.

The next day we went in the car to the beach and all though Monty didn’t have much energy he enjoyed walking in the sand and resting and playing with the other dogs when he got tired we took him back home, the next day he still seemed ok, the day after he seemed a bit worse, more tired, we were going to put him down but I couldn’t, not yet, I asked mum if we could take him to see nan and Missy, she agreed and when we got there he wagged his tail and then lay on the floor, Missy smelt his side and backed away from it, she could smell the cancer, the next day it was time, we made that awful last journey to the vets where the last words he heard were good boy we love you. If it wasn’t for cancer he’d be here, his limbs were free of arthritis, he had good eyesight and hearing and his pouch wasn’t affecting him and his teeth were good.

You might be wondering what this all has to with adoption, well it’s about how Monty was loved and had many memories and had people to mourn his death, many Monty’s are in shelters needing that special someone, doesn’t every dog need a home to be loved and cared for in? Never scolded and for ever loved? After Monty went we created a garden for him. What was once a spider infested weed pit is now a lovely lush garden, Monty was loved and for ever special, carry on the pride ad adopt or rescue a loving dog, some people are turned off dogs with disabilities but it might just turn out to be the best dog you’ll own. After all doesn’t every dog deserve a home like this?


Monty was truly a special dog and is for ever loved.

Letter from Colt

I know what you're thinking. You think I'm dead. Because you cannot see me with your human eye, cannot feel me with your hands or hold me in your arms you think I am gone forever. You recall how I looked when I left this place and you cannot remotely imagine that I could possibly be alive in another place. You are racked and torn by the pain of our separation and it blinds you to that which is right in front of you...me.

How many times since I left your immediate sight have you been told that I'm dead and you should "get over it"? How many times have you cried yourself to sleep because you feel like an outcast, believing you're supposed to get over me because that's what people say is normal but somehow you can't and no one seems to understand? How many times have you put yourself through such excruciating pain because you aren't willing to consider that I am not, by any means, dead?

I want you to do me a favor and go back in time with me. Remember the glorious day you brought me home - was I not the most intriguing creature you'd ever met? Did I not make you laugh and giggle? Did I not look at you with such adoration that you wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of your life with me? I wanted this too.

Remember the days when I was in my prime and we did many things together. You were so proud of me! I was a good friend and I took care of you when you cried, were angry or felt down and unhappy. When you didn't have a lot of time for me because of your obligations, I waited patiently for you. I was always there when you needed me. Did I not look at you with such acceptance and patience that at times you felt perhaps a bit unworthy? You were never unworthy in my eyes.

Remember when age crept up on me, my bones became stiff and my movements slower. Still I met you at the door when you came home and followed you around the house. We'd been together for so long, I was your very best friend regardless of what you were doing, saying, thinking. Did I not look at you with such kindness and understanding that you felt overwhelmed? I couldn't get enough of you.

Remember the last time we saw each other with earthly eyes. You tried to be brave but I knew you were crying...I know you so well. Better than anyone else in the whole world. Did I not look at you with such pure trust and love that you yearned only to hold me close and keep me with you always? Did you not promise that you would love me forever? I believed you.

If this is so then why have you let me go by thinking I no longer exist?

Remember the depth in my eyes all those times I looked at you with adoration, acceptance, patience, trust and love. Who created this depth and love? Would the Creator diminish the song of our laughter which was created in the name of love? I am no longer an earthly figure, this is true. My body was only part of who I really am. My body would have been but a mere shell on earth if it were not filled to overflowing with my soul, my spirit, my loving light. When we met you thought I was cute, sweet, pretty and adorable. But what kind of relationship would we have had if this is all that I'd been? How could you have loved me if I'd had no spiritual substance?

We are all made up of energy which resides far deep down inside of us, it is our core, our soul, spirit and loving light. It is the energy that is all of life...it has no beginning, it has no end. It simply is and always will be and without it there is no life. You can't see it with the naked eye nor can you hold it in your hand, it is simply a certain knowing that this energy does exist. It's a knowing just as you know that our love existed on earth - you couldn't see our love in a solid sense, you couldn't gather it all up and confine it to one place. But you *knew* it existed. There was no doubt in your mind.

They demand you get over me, insisting that I'm dead and you'll never see me again because animals don't go to Heaven. Oh really? I'm here to tell you different. You were worthy of my love and undying devotion on earth as I was of yours. Do you really believe this love would be snatched from us *forever* by a loving Creator simply because I wasn't human? Was I not a living, breathing creation with personality? How could I have been so if I didn't possess the energy of soul, spirit and loving light? And if this energy is and always will be, then how can it be that I am dead? If my core is not of the energy that is all of life then I was never alive to begin with. But you know better.

You cry because you miss me, this I understand. I miss you too - I miss the belly rubs, hugs and kisses that we shared. But life does go on beyond these wonderful, fulfilling physical connections. I came to this place to live a whole new life, not because I didn't love you anymore or because I wanted something better. I came here because it was time for me to go to the next phase of my existance, something all living creatures must do eventually. It is the normal progression of life. I was not taken away from you because you cannot take away that which was never owned. My presence in your life was and is a gift to be cherished and honored just as I cherish and honor you.

Life is not simply about being born into a body, living a certain number of years and then dying. Energy cannot die. We are blessed with time in a body so that we can learn, share and grow. It prepares us for the next phase of our eternal life. The body holds within it the true life force of our existance...our soul, spirit and loving light. Without these our bodies would be empty, blank, void of feeling and expression. Without our energy we would indeed be dead and could never have experienced our love for each other.

You say that all you have left are memories. Not so. You see, when I took leave of my earthly body I left a little something behind for you. You can't touch it, hold it or examine it for what I left behind is far too uninhibited for confinement. I left behind a piece of my soul. I placed it right next to your own which is quite fitting as we were always side by side in our earthly life together. I love you too much to have left you with nothing but memories which tend to fade and grow cloudy as the years go by. I love you too much to have vanished without a trace. How selfish it would be of me to remove love and light from your life.

I understand your tears, each one you shed is testament to your love for me and I am honored and humbled. But don't forget the good things we shared - remember and smile. This is an honor for me as well. And when you need me I will be here. Close your eyes, relax, take slow, deep breaths and picture me in your mind. Shut off the world and your notions of what death is and give me a chance. Look for the subtle signs I send you. Don't stop being proud of me, I am a friend to be proud of, I am still your friend and soul mate. Don't memorialize the death of my body but instead honor and celebrate my never-ending life for it is eternal and forever as is my love for you.

Until we meet again...

Poems

My owner has been writing poems about me, here's two, she'll add more later.

Things aren't the same, I listen for the clink of your collar, the wuff in your bark, the gaze in your eyes, every little thing remind me of you, when are you coming home? We miss you, we miss you, just one more hug, one more word, the love for you is eternal, burning bright and forever there, we love you and everything seems not quiet right , the memories are forever rewinding and playing, they over come reality one more hug, one more kiss, we miss you and love you, good bye sweet prince, good bye

I remember the look in your eyes, such love and compassion, the feel of your fur on a cold Winters day, I remember the happy days the good and the bad, I remember teaching you sit, drop and beg, you were super cute and the judges at pet expos thought so too, you were kind and caring and loving too, you let me dress you up in hats, scarves and bandanna's, you were friendly and smart, in my darkest hour on the darkest night you will be my star burning bright, you were a friend to all who knew you, you were the dog who touched a million hearts, faithful and loyal and smart you helped Missy come out of her shell, not once did you protest or complain when yet another four legged friend came home, you proved them wrong, they said 5 or 6 you said 12 and a half, I say thank you my miracle dog, my heart my soul, thank you for touching the world.


On that dark night I will gaze to the sky, gaze to the heavens and see you burning bright, you heart and soul dancing merrily around the clouds, beyond the moon beyond the clouds you will be, but, whenever we need you, you'll be here in our hearts, we love you Monty.

I hopwe you guys like them.

Loved for ever

Yesterday I wasn't feeling too good, you see I wasn't really responsive, as hard as my owners found it they thought it was kindest to put me down. We went to the vet and they all crowded around me and told me good boy and that they loved me, of course they loved me, hehe who doesn't after all? I just remember shutting my eyes then seeing Fudge, my owners angel cat, and his friends and the guinea pigs and rabbits. It'll be lots of fun and if I miss my owner I'll be sure to visit, please take care of my owner :(, woofs and wags Monty.

The beach

On Sunday I went to the vet as I still hadn't been eating. The vets took an ultra sound of my kidneys and found something very bad. I have really bad kidney cancer, both my kidneys are practically just tumours. My owners were heartbroken especially by the fact that I only have about a week. But they wanted to make my days happy ones so they planned on Monday to take me to the beach. We drove in and it took 45 minutes. When we got there I had a nice drink of cold water then I jumped out of the car. We went on to a pier but I got scared so then my owners mum took me on to the sand while my own checked out the pier she the came down and played we me, we paddled in the shallows of the water then I was tired so I rested in the sand. Some dogs came by and I sniffed each one. I went up to a hyper lab and said hello, we then went for a walk along the beach. We headed back to the car and we drove to another beach where I saw a schnauzer and I said hello. We sat on the grass and got lots of pictures. We drove back and then I played in the yard. I love my family♥

Eeeeek I'm mangy!!!

Today I went to the vets because I had sore, scabby itchy ears. The vets told my owners it was mange and that it would of come from a possum or fox. My owners were relieved because they were scared it would be something worse. I got some cream for my ears but they are so itchy. If I scratch too much I'll need an E-collar. Eeeek it's true I am a mangy mutt, but I'm a magnificent mangy mutt.

Fun at the expo!

Today I got to go to the pet expo. For those of you pups who don't know what a pet expo is it's like a dog fair (well I think of it that way). My silly human took her rat along (I had to ride in the car with him!) There were lots of dogs there. I wore my hand made personalized bandanna. They had some fun competitions. The first one was largest pet but of course I'm not very big so I didn't enter. Next was happiest pet. I flopped over onto my back and the judges fell in love with me and I got first, the rat got fourth. The next one was smallest pet and I didn't enter but the rat did and he won first (at least he won me a prize). The last competition was fancy dress and I entered wearing a cowboy hat and my bandanna and the rat entered wearing a little vest. In the end for fourth prize it came down to me and the rat, guess who won, yours truly :D . After that I went on an agility course and the people were very impressed, they said I did everything well, I did one hurdle then I did the weave then I did the tunnel, I loved the tunnels. We had a look at the pet stalls and I played with a pretty Australian Shepherd named Gracie. We then went home. About an hour later my owner ad me went to meet my owners friend and her dog. I liked her dog. Me and her dog Toby waited in line to do a lure course. Toby was scared and I was tired so I just rested. We then walked back to Toby's place and Toby's owners mum drove us (me, my owner and my owners friend) home. Boy was it tiring but fun, I've been sleeping all afternoon. Sleepy wuffs and wags yours truly Monty.

Argh!

Great just my luck! Our internet is slow for two weeks but my owner is going on holidays in a week for five days and I won't be able to be on. On the plus side my leg is feeling better and should recover. Thank you Abby and family and Milo for the power of the paw rosette woofs Monty. I'll die with out Dogster, BOL.

How unfair!

Today was meant to be a great day. Unfortunately things don't go as planned. My humans put my jacket on me last night and in the morning my jacket was tangled and my back leg hurt. I was scooting and limping around. My owners were going to take me to a pawsome off leash beach today but instead I went to the vet. They poked and prodded me and made me whine. They gave me pain reliever and anti inflammatory shots for my leg. Of course I missed out on my trip to the beach which was awful! I have to keep quiet for a bit which is hard because my leg feels so much better I want to run and jump. It's still a bit sore though. On the plus side the cats are being nice. Woofs and wags Monty.

What a fun walk...

Well today the weather had been nice so my owner decided to take me for a walk. At first it was a little windy but by the time we go to the pond there was thunder. It then proceeded to rain. Big heavy rain drops. I wasn't to thrilled and it was at least a 15 minute walk to get back home. The thunder was loud and a got a bit anxious. When it finally stopped raining we were nearly home.

When we got back my owner towel dried me off and took me in her room. I then had dinner and am now relaxing. Well what a glorious walk...not!

Woofs and barks Monty

Bummer

I wont be on for maybe a day or two as my internet is very slow and my human is sick. We will be very bored without Dogster. Hopefully our internet will be quick soon. Woofs and wags Monty.

Partyness!

Today is my humans brothers Birthday. I have to make sure to give him lots of licks! Woof woof Monty.

Whoop whoop tricks

Whoop whoop the other day I was doing tricks and I got all these scrumptious treats. I'm a smart doggy. Those pesky kitties are free loaders though. Crayons and Coco were trying to take my treats, the nerve of them!! Well I was a good boy and sat when told, even with two cat faces and tickly whiskers in my face!

:O How naughty of Coco or Crayons one of them did a very smelly "accident" in my humans room. I'd NEVER dream of doing something like that. Ha that's just another fact that dogs are better then cats. Even though no matter how annoying they are I love them :D.

Woofs and wags Monty.

Thank you

Oh wow thank you pups for giving me all these collars. Boy oh boy my page will smell great and I'll look great too in my fabulouse collars. Also thank you for the rosettes and stars. I'd just like to say a great big thank you to all my pals. Arooo thank you guys!!!! *Hugs to my pals*


P.S. I'll never turn down a Pup Pal Request

Sad

Awww my human is very sad today. It's Winter and two of her guinea pigs died because it was a cold morning now she only has one left and he's been looking for them:(. My human cried a lot.

Love for ever Snowy and Rusty :'(

River walk

Hooray a few days ago I got to go for a walk along an off leash river nd I got to play with lots of other dogs.

Update

Goodness me I haven't posted in my diary! Well good news I recovered well from my surgery and have been doing great. We have a new cat in the family plus numerous other animals.

Today I went for a walk to the duck pond and while we were down there I smelt the nicest most tasty smell of course it ws duck poo. I was thrilled with my new smell but when we got home my owner picked e up and put me in the laundry sink and washed off my lovely new smell! How could she do such a thing?

Woofs and wags Monty

second day after surgery

Today is the second day after surgery. I feel alot better and am walking and sniffing and eating and drinking. Today I've walked around the house and fell asleep i the cat basket.

First day after Surgery

Today I went to the vet to get two lumps removed. I was very tired and kept sleeping after about two steps. I've had my back and shoulder shaved very short and look a site. Tish is being nice to me and I sniffed noses with her.

Surgery

I went to the vet today about the lump on my back and found out I have to have surgery on my two lumps on Friday

The new guinea pig

The new guinea pig is called Sparky =D

My results

The vet rang back with the results of what my lump on my back is. It has inflammation cells which they think I've had a scrape or something on my back and it has turned into a lump they say that I have to have surgery to take it out.

We had a hail storm today and the back yard went white!!!!

The Vet

Yesterday I had a bath and afterwards I ran around the yard. Today I had to go to the vets with Tish to get my vaccination. I really wasn't happy about it and yelped and squirmed. I also got a needle in my lump that is on my back to see if there is anything wrong. We will know tonight. Woofs and wags Monty oh and the guinea pig's names are down to: Turbo, Snickers, Merlin and Sparky.

A new guinea pig

Yesterday my human got a new five week old black and white guinea pig. He is a tiny boy. He's very cute. My owner has come up with a few names Streak, Flash, Gizmo, Patch, Panda and a few more. He gets along with Bob. We got him after Charlie died on the 17th of May 2007 he's now at the bridge eating his favorite foods. Here's his link http://www.petster.com/cgi/profile.cgi?profile_id=29351&pet_ id=29868

Thank you lots my darling wife you provide me with great rosettes that make me smile and think of you kisses Monty.

Bath time

Today I had a bath and then I was very frisky. I have a picture of me after my bath on my page.

My Birthday

Yay today (June 8th) is my 11th Birthday. This morning I got lots of cuddles and pats. In the afternoon I went for a walk around the block and when I came back I got a dried lamb bone yummy *licks lips* that pesky cat tried stealing it but I took it down on to the grass and ate it.

The next day I got to go for a walk around an off leash lake. There were lots of other dogs and I had lots of fun playing. I got attacked by an evil bush that made me yelp (it snagged my fur). I had a great day.

thank you to all the pups that gave me Birthday wishes either though paw mail or rosette.

Million Paws walk

On May 21st I got to go on the RSPCA Million Paws walk. It was around a big lake (5 km) and there were lots of dogs. I had to have a 45 minute car ride to get there. I wore a red bandanna and started to walk. None of the dogs tried fighting me. Once I had done the walk I was a little tired but my owner entered me in the fancy dress competition. I wore my bandanna and a cowboy hat. I didn't win though but had fun. After I went in the agility competition (I have only done agility about three times at animal expos) I had to jump over (long ways) about three planks of wood, jump over a hurdle, through a curved tunnel out then over two more hurdles and then weave through three cones then back to the starting line. I would have done better if I wasn't tired. I didn't win though but I don't care. I then got to walk around the stalls then back in the car and home.

My Birthday

On June 8th it will be my 11th Birthday so come check it out in the party forum.

I'll put some of the pictures of me at the beach on.

The River

Yesterday I went for a car ride to this big park place and they had a river there and I got to go for a walk along the river off my lead and I never used to like water but I found it's fun to paddle in (I still wouldn't swim in the water) and I had fun jumping from rock to rock and then running through the water but my owners were a bit worried I'd slip on a rock and hurt myself (I slipped on a rock but didn't get hurt luckily). I also chased the birds down there then we walked up a path and were on a big hill and I got let off my lead so I ran all the way down the hill then got called back so had to run up the hill but I had a great time and fell asleep in the back. I got to stay in till late last night as well.
