Monty just did not get on with old Bobby the Papillon at all and April 2014 we had to give up, for Bobby's sake. Monty now lives with John's daughter.

**************************************************************

We missed RUFUS (1995-2010) so much and couldn't be without a Cavalier after all these years. It really had to be a Blenheim again, and if he was related to Rufus, so much the better! We got really lucky and were offered a 6 months old pup from Rufus' breeder Lorraine Gillhesphy. Monty has a fantastic temperament, comes from parents with current clear heart certificates and that have both been MRI scanned clear. And Monty's Great Great Great Grandmother (!) was none other than Rufus' mother! "The new Rufus" has arrived!

First day, have just arrived home and is a little bit unsure

Looking so much like Rufus here

Oh look, toys and bones

I like this bone

And I like Benjamin. Peanut is looking rather jealous!

Monty quickly realised he can jump up onto the couches

It didn't take long before Monty and Peanut started playing.

I've had a tiring day

What's going on over there?

Maybe I should send an e-mail to my breeder. Then again I am so tiiired zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Fast asleep next to Rebecca

The next day

A few days later, and Monty has learnt how to get inside the cat run (for explanation of how that works, click HERE ) and he's got used to the cats!

In the garden here. Shall we play? Ella the Papillon is tiny but very gutsy!

Let's have a race!

What's going on over there?

(These photos are a bit unclear as the evening sun was bright and I had to take them from the bedroom window, as every time I stepped outside all the dogs came running and stopped playing!)

Ginny, Ella, Monty

Peanut and Abby have joined in the game of chase

Faster, faster!!

"It wasn't me who chewed the jeans, honest!"

Nice cool spot next to the window

A great big enormous field to run and play in with my new friends

July 2010. Monty has gone from being scared of the cats, to chasing them, to believing he IS a cat. Here with Marabou.

(Yes Monty was wearing a belly band, he was marking indoors a lot so it was needs must and he didn't mind at all. This has since stopped! No more bellybands.)
