Meet Monty!

I’m very excited to introduce you to the new arrival in me & Boy’s life: Monty the beautiful, scampering, terrible Border Terrier puppy!

He’s the best thing ever. He’ll be 10 weeks old tomorrow, and already has learnt so much. He knows we’re his pack and is happiest when we’re all heaped on the sofa together. He knows we’ll always come back and doesn’t fret when he’s left alone any more.
He loves digging and cardboard and chewing and cheese. He has lots of toys, but his favourite is the lid from my hairspray bottle, & he’ll hide under the sofa to chew it in case anyone else realises how awesome it is and tries to steal it. Very wise.

Soon he can have his final inoculations and start walkies! He’s super clever and eager to please us, so he’s already learning to come when he’s called, pee outside and fetch. We’ve read so much conflicting information online about the best ways to puppy train, & I’d love to hear any tips you guys have to share.

I told him I was writing about him and he licked my face; clearly puppy-talk for total approval. Look out for him in all my future posts – every time he moves it’s the new cutest thing ever and I feel obliged to take another photograph! I’m like a baby-bore, except my kid is furry, eats your shoes & smells vaguely of chicken! <3
