Monty 2

Things are going really well with Monty, he is settling quite easy. He takes care of his "business" outside, and only had accidents inside the house, when we didn't notice his signals - or if we were too slow getting our shoes on. He really loves the girls, but stopped being over-excited every time he saw them, so now he just tags along, if he´s allowed. Signe, who was known to be scared of dogs, loves him dearly and wants to teach him things all the time. She constantly wants go give him small treats, and we have to remind her that he also needs to live off his real food! Lisa is less impressed by him, she things he´s sweet and cuddles him, but is otherwise too busy with her own stuff and games. Monty seems to connect really well, he´s very observant of Odin and I think he sees him as the head of the flock. I'm the one he cuddles and snuggles with - "mom", I guess. Monty and I just had a blast in the garden, playing around with his ball and sniffing out every corner. Monty gets a little intimidated, when we take him for a walk outside in the street. He doesn't want to go far and he turns around after passing 2-3 houses. Back into my garden, thank you! I'm thinking its a question of settling in and confidence - after all, he´s still a baby.
We taught him to sit down on the command "sit", and to come when we call "Monty, come" - or just "Monty", so its going really well. He seems quite bright, I think he will be easy to teach. I wrote the local dog-training-club to join a puppy-class, but dont know the details yet.
Oh, and Luna! - Luna is skeptical, but curious. She warns him, when he tries to get close, and hisses a bit, but when he's calm, she comes closer to sniff him out. She wants to join us all, so she keeps close all the time, which is really good. They have been nose-to-nose twice already, which is extremely good, considering he only spent 2½ days with us. She's being a very good girl, and is given a lot of treats these days :-)
We are really happy to have Monty with us.
