TGIF

No beds anywhere!

We like posting pictures of Monty, but we realized that they are all of him lying down. We promise, he does more than just lie around, not much, but he does stand up, move around, and play from time to time. By greyhound standards, he is very playful. At least this picture is a little more interesting than the others because he is lying on the bare floor...which took him about 5 minutes of pacing back and forth before finally deciding on laying down...hard floors are just not that comfortable! I really sympathized with his agonizing decision to lay on the floor, and I could tell he was not happy about it.

Monty's new thing is playing with his squeak toy. He has been playing with it twice a day since discovery its entertainment value:

1. After we wake up, he runs to the living room and immediately runs and grabs it for playtime.

2. After we get home from work and let him out of his cage, he does the same thing.

He knows this toy is OK to play with, although he sometimes mistakes non-toy objects for acceptable playthings (blankets, pillows), but he drops them immediately upon correction. On a similar note regarding his mischief, he has made a few attempts at drinking from the toilet...we are teaching him not to.

He is getting better at going to the bathroom soon after going outside, so extremely long walks are not always required to get him to pee (although he does enjoy them).

I will try to snap a picture of him while he is standing up/doing something funny to prove that he is not permanently comatose.

Reminder: Monty will be at PAWS tomorrow from 12-4pm, all are welcome to come meet him.
