Best Buds

Whether you're working on our home, the mailman, a door-to-door salesman, a coworker visiting for the first time, or a recognizable face stopping by for a visit, you'd think we have the most ferocious large dog defending our home. But, if you're a 2 year old who's grown up with a slightly quirky Boarder Collie since your birth, you and he are inseparable. That's exactly how Addy and Monty are. They chase each other around the coffee table; he lets her scold him for dropping his toy on her leg or chasing her toy shopping carts and vacuum around; she will occassionally pull his ears and jump on his back bouncing up and down but he doesn't really seem to mind; he cries when she cries; he sleeps behind the rocking chair in her room when the baby's crying; he protects her during bath time (don't EVER say the word "bath" or even start to say a word starting with the "ba" sound around 7pm because Monty will run straight into the bathroom barking the whole way and stand by the bath in anticipation. Umm, yeah, did I say he was quirky??

We love him just the same and are happy he's Addy's bud and been part of our family now for 4 years.
