So far so good, went and got Monti on Monday - he's a super nice little dog. When I led him out to my truck and opened the door he jumped right up to the seat, WOW what a leaper!  He was nervous but well behaved on the way home. I've only heard him bark twice, once when our basset barked at the mail man and once when a door bell rang on tv (S) So he will be a nice quiet dog I think. He communicates with an intense stare and quiet whine if he wants something.

When we got home he calmly greeted our cat, (who I think swore at me)  introduced himself to Daisy our Basset hound, who thinks his treats are better than hers (even if they are exactly the same) but likes him and man did they play, tug of war with the rope, played tag and gnawed on each other and did a lot of mock growling. It was hilarious!

He's good with our birds, curious but doesn't jump up on the cage, sure seems house trained comes and cries to you and when you ask him if he has to go out he starts for the door and stands in front of it and hops up and down. LOL

He has bonded to me I think, I can't go in the bathroom or any other room and close the door or he sits outside and cries. (S)  He loves squeaky toys. LOVES naps in my lap and crawls under the blanket if I have one, and although he's long legged somehow he tucks himself up pretty small to snuggle. So far, he stays out of things he isn't supposed to mess with and he's a great little personality.  Whoever throws the ball when you play fetch he brings it back too, which is neat, he doesn't just return it to whoever he wants.

 He's as tall as Daisy, but his body is small and has some great legs so I'm hoping he'll come along on horseback rides and keep me and Payton company.  New pics will come when they are back (S) I think this is a super little dog. They left him at the pound when his owner couldn't have a pet in her new apt. That would have been rough with such a good little guy as this!

Michelle,

Congratulation on your new best friend...You have done a wonderful thing here with Monti...enjoy the love he will bring your family...

Tina

That's a nice story. It seems to me that Monti couldn't have found a better family than yours. Enjoy every minute with him.

Congratulations, Monti sounds great!

BTW I looked at your website.  I love Sea's coloring, that silver splash of a tail is gorgeous!
