A few more years go by, and I remember this blog is here.

Monte is 14 and still basically a puppy. If you ignore that he's fought back from IVDD causing partial paralysis, is completely deaf, and has put on a couple pounds...

He still runs around like a maniac in the house (it's tough on the wood floor but he's a champ on the carpet) and cries when people ignore him. He still wrestles with our now 9-year old Pyrenees. He is just as excited for kibble as the day we brought him home.

There's grey around his foggy eyes and his legs slide out from under him, and he's getting lumpy. But the vets marvel at his health.

He's still our weird little guy and he's living his best life.

So I sort of remembered that this blog was here.

Monte is getting to be an old man. He is now 9 and will turn 10 in June. I have no idea where time has gone.

There have been a lot of changes - for one, we are back in the Midwest now for good. Monte has been a champion and moved so many times in his life, and we won’t put him through another one. He’s lived in four states, and even more addresses. Monte had CCL surgery last summer and has recovered fully. He is blissfully unaware that COVID is even a thing and is loving all the attention because we are home all the time. His little sister is turning 5 and has grown into 100 pounds of floof and barking.

He has started to slow down a little bit, but he has a lot left in the tank. He’s our stinky old man but he’s a world-class snuggler.

Here’s the rule: if there are towels, Monte sleeps on them.

Maple has nearly caught up in weight, weighing in at 27 lb to Monte's 30. She's not even 4 months yet.

Pretty tiring being a big brother

Weird, but pretty stinkin’ cute.

Monte is still weird.

So it’s been a couple years, I feel like an update makes sense.

Monte is now a Colorado mountain dog. And he loves his hummingbirds.

Seven more Eddlets unleashed on the world! Holy cow!

Monte's new toy looks a lot like... Monte

Is that really Monte's baby?! How precious! Are there multiple pups in the litter and are you keeping any or finding them all homes?

Oh my gosh! No, I did a terrible job with that post... not his puppy. I found that adorable little dude online and nobody knew what he was. I offered that he looked a little bit too much like Monte... but Monte is very much fixed and an indoor dog.
