R.I.P. Monty
November 19th 2009 21:04
Regular readers of this blog will know about Monty, the brown Staffordshire terrier who liked to lie down with his legs spread out all over the pavement in front of the hairdresser near my sister’s place.
I am sad to report that Monty passed away last week. I was shocked when I saw the flowers and photos on the very spot where he used to lie. I had only seen him a few weeks ago and I couldn’t believe he was no longer here. I had been in a hurry so I didn’t stop to say hello to him, something I now regret. What does a few minutes make when you are no longer going to see your friend again? Occupied with these thoughts, I had to find out more. I went inside the hairdresser’s and asked for Monty’s owner.
I was relieved to hear that Monty hadn’t died of unnatural causes; my first fear was he had been hit by a car. Monty’s owner told me he had been sick for a while and on Friday, he died in his sleep.
“It was the best way for him to go,” said the owner.
I passed on my condolences and said how sorry I was.
“We might get another one soon.” Let’s hope so – after Monty’s family have had time to recover.
