I thought tagging Monte in the post would make it show up here but apparently not.
Monte the Mutt headed to the rainbow bridge on Friday, June 2, 2023. She left this world on her own terms, passing away behind a shrub in our backyard. This wasn't unexpected, she'd been dropping weight, not eating, and having health and mobility problems. The irony is, she seemed like she was doing better, and seemed to have some gusto before heading outside.
She was cremated and today I picked up her remains where they sit in a lovely wooden box with her picture on it.
Monte will be terribly missed. I see her shadow everywhere I look. I am still in a kind of routine mode when I'm in the house.
Monte was my companion for 13 wonderful years. I couldn't have asked for a better one.
