Monti is fitting in beautifully -- although we'll see some changes as he gets comfortable (hello, barking). Nothing that would stop us from adopting him, so we made it official today. It was too fun to have them both with the same celebration day. Duke was an owner surrender so we know his actually birthday. Usually, rescue dogs get an arbitrary birthday on Gotcha Day. Brothers with the SAME BIRTHDAYS -- perfect :)
Monti is named after an old residential neighborhood in Rome where we had our first meal in Italy. He's 10 -- going blind, heart murmur, skin issues and some ass tried to dock his ears with rubber bands (he was found with the rubber bands attached so he's ears are mangled). All this and he LOVES to walk, play, cuddle, ride in the car ... loves people and dogs ... oh, and barking at every little noise LOL. We expect it to get worse before it gets better. He's old and new to our home -- can't blame a guy for being on alert. He should settle down once he knows what's what.

Hubby is back in VA for 13 days. We're having an adjustment again for the first couple of nights. Up and down.
I'll find a rhythm again soon. Monti is keeping me busy getting him settled. I'm still working on fun stuff with the Enneagram but a new pup and focusing on racial injustice learning has sidetracked me a bit. I'm slowly get back to running -- a bit of lite interval stuff on the treadmill.
Monti needs a potty break (he's amazingly housebroken!!) -- got to run. Stay well. Later gators.
