Recently we had a K9 Natural customer get in touch with us. She loves writing stories about her dogs (past and present) and wondered if we would like to post some of these on our blog…sure we do! So here’s the first story about “Monty”, a dog from her childhood who, well the story tells the rest…
A powerfully built chesty red kelpie with intelligent twitching tan eyebrows, “Monty”, was a steely eye dog. His un-erring determination to dominate even the meanest Merino ram meant he was a valuable asset to the team and earned him lead dog status from a young age. Unsurprisingly, “Monty” also had a reputation as a ladies man and could detect a bitch on heat from 10km away.
One morning, as we sped to the bus stop, our neighbour, Mrs Kent, was waiting for us with “Monty”. A usually composed, elegant and well-spoken woman, Mrs Kent was madder than I had ever seen her. “Your meandering mongrel has been at my Primrose!” she told Dad.
Dad apologized and scolded “Monty”, but as we drove on I could see this really tickled his funny bone. He ruffled “Monty’s” fur and said, “ah Monty you meandering mongrel.” Later that year “Primrose the Poodle” did produce a litter. No-one needed to guess about their parentage, the pups twitching tan eyebrows were a dead giveaway.
