Just thought I'd let my friends here know that I'm in a pretty bummed out mood today, even though I'm at home with my family it's not all great.
My Dad did his usual morning activity, taking the dog for a walk, we'd gotten Monty back in September 2005 so he was nearly a year and a half old. One of the places the dog loved going for a walk was on a old railway line near by, my Dad parked his car in the usual spot and took Monty off for a good morning stroll.
When they returned Monty obviously had seen something to chase and didn't wait in his normal spot by the rear of the car. He ran straight into the road and unfortunately was hit by a car. Monty died instantly, we buried him a few hours ago near an apple tree where he'd been digging a hole.
Needless to say everyones quite upset, we've lost animals before but the recent ones in the last few years were all due to old age or they'd had a medical problem with them and they'd been around for a while, it's just a shock that Monty died young as so suddenly.
Just thought I'd share with you all so that if I seem distant or non responsive at least you do know why.
