I seriously doubt that. dogs don't move back home when they're 30

only cause theyre dead by then.


i just find having a pet a huge responsibility. not that kids arent but at least if you forget to feed the kids theyll rummage through the pantry and feed themselves... even if its just fruit loops.

Actually dogs are worse at this trait.. they are not just limited to the pantry.. to a dog.. the trash is fair game too!!

Having 4 human children who are all just about adults(one in final year of HS, 2 in college, 1 out)......Monty is hands down much much easier then my sons! If dogs are given proper exercise and attention, they are the best companions and housemates. While my sons are messy, eat us out of house and home, and cost a lot more $$$$! Monty is clean, well behaved, only plays with his toys and eats a lot less!

As for when is a puppy an adult? Most male large breed dogs take a good 2-3 years to mature...if ever. My Monty is 18 months old tomorrow and I still call him my puppy. He is done growing upward, but is now packing on muscle mass. His brain is still immature, with male dobes until about the age of 3. Giving me the next 18 months to correct all the mistakes I've already made with him.

Monty is doing great, loving the loving, he will be the most spoiled dog on the face of this earth! He has been a bit sick there is a doggy virus going on around here. Scared the crap out of me...I can't handle another sick dog nor the vet bills!!

I still can't believe that my beautiful boy Petey is gone. Our lives feel so empty with out him. Losing 3 dogs in less then 5 years....has been hard. I wonder if I shouldn't ever get another after Monty...I have bad luck.

Hope Monty is recovering from his virus.

It's always so hard to lose our dogs but even with the pain, I think it's always good to welcome another dog into our lives. They never replace the ones lost but they still bring us so much joy and happiness.

I'm falling in love with this incredibility sweet young boy named Monty! When his breeder sold him to me 14 months ago, she said she felt he would help us get through Petey's death. She could tell he had a healers soul. She was right. He is a cuddle bug and is helping me to keep moving forward. While he is nothing like Petey and could never fill that void, he is making his own place in my heart, now that I'm letting him in. Now that it is all said and done....getting Monty was a great decision.

So glad you have Monty ... love heals
