When Kaitlin and Torben remodeled their house they wisely included a mud/dog room. The dog in the picture is their new puppy, Montana, with the fruits of her efforts. The white fluffy stuff is the inside of her bed, which she has cheerfully been tearing up. On the left-hand side of the picture you can see the hand shower they had installed. They sometimes manage to give her a shower after she has been playing outside in the mud. But there’s no doubt about it, the rest of the downstairs is a bit muddier than it was a month or so ago.
She is definitely worth a bit of mess. She’s good natured, loves her family, is easy to teach and has no trouble amusing herself when appropriate.
It’s interesting to see the difference between her and Sammy when they’re in the backyard.
Sammy loves the new brickwork and stepping stones because he hates to get his feet wet. Montana doesn’t care as long as she can run and play. (Click image below for video.)
I’m afraid Andy and I are about as physically lively as Sammy is now, but it was great fun to see Montana’s exuberance. Just thinking of it makes my spirit soar. What about you? Do you have any exuberance in your life?
