What's a dog to do?

I love bringing Monty with me when I go out with my camera.  He gets a good walk and I have his companionship.  I was shooting in the back yard the other day, and brought Monty with me, expecting him to romp and play.  He got bored... so he made himself  bed!  Gotta love it!

Snow Day

Well, we finally had a true New Hampshire snow storm somewhere between 12-18".  Monty went out early, when there was 6" on the ground.  I brought him out late afternoon hoping to get photos and video of him tramping through the snow.  Poor guy.... He couldn't get through the snow.   It's just too deep.  He ate what he could and sat at the top of the steps trying to figure out how to have fun.  Even his foray onto the deck didn't work since that had just as much snow on it!  You can see the snow is as high as he is!

Check Up

When we got Monty last March, the vet said he was too thin at 31 lbs and that he should put on weight.  Then this summer, when he got sick, he lost even more weight and we couldn't get him to eat.  Well finally he ate, and put on weight.  Now the vet says... too  heavy...  Ah well.  We've cut down on his food a bit and we keep him running.  He's very healthy in all other aspects. 

Fetch - a whole new twist

Monty has never been interested in playing fetch  - until now.  Recently Jay had Monty out and was watching him from the deck.  He threw a snowball.  Monty ran after it.  Tried to pick it up but it rolled and got bigger. He finally got his mouth around it, ran back and then ate it!! (Well we know he loves snow and ice ... so that only makes sense)  He then stood waiting for another.  He couldn't get enough.  I was laughing so hard....I didn't get any pictures.  I'll get some after the next snow!
