Happy Birthday, Montgomery Tiberius!!!

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

It seems that March is a lucky month for several of us who get to celebrate our doodles' birthdays. Better yet, I know of a couple of doodles who were born on the same date Monty was, just a year ahead: Jack (of Jennifer and Jack, and Daphne (of Lori, Daphne & Lucy). How cool is that? I don't know anyone who would have the same birth date as me!

So, Monty is turning 4. Time is flying way too fast. He will forever be my first dog, my love. He helped me learn about dogs and with the constant help of my dear friends here at DK, I'm a much better doodle mom now.

I came to the US fourteen years ago, and at times, I still feel like a foreigner. My whole family as well as all my best friends are back in Europe. Monty became my best buddy. We discuss things together a lot and I do get a feeling that he knows what I'm talking about. No, he is not perfect, but neither am I. But he is perfect for me and to me. Couldn't have wished for a better companion.

So, big boy, we'll spend some alone time on your birthday. Your brother is getting a haircut, so it can be just you and me again, just like old times. We'll snuggle, we'll play, we'll talk a lot.

Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher to me and even a better brother to little Auggie.

I love you, Monty!
