On Friday December 16th our little pug dog Monty went to Heaven. Monty was 14 years old and had been doing pretty well. But the week of December 12th he began to show his age. Darrin and I noticed what appeared to be an ear infection so on Wednesday Darrin took him into our vet. The vet cleaned out his ear and gave him some antibiotics and sent him home. On Thursday Monty began to have shallow breathing and on Friday he didn't want to eat. On Friday night he laid on the couch and put his head on Darrin's lap. Darrin looked at me and said, "I don't think we're getting off this couch." I sat down next to Monty and Darrin and as we were watching TV Monty took three deep breaths and was gone. Luckily Katie and Skyler were here to provide support and Skyler went with Darrin to take Monty to the vet on Friday night.
I adopted Monty from a pug rescue in Los Lunas New Mexico in July of 1999. He quickly became my rock and helped me get through some major transitions in my life. In 2001 we met Darrin and in 2002 Monty and I made the move from New Mexico to California.
Monty provided our family with many happy memories and he will be greatly missed. Here are a few memories from over the past twelve years.
