Monty's best mate, Bok.



It's extraordinary to witness how much these two adore each other. They usually get together at about 6.00am each morning, when I take them both for a walk, and it's like watching long-lost brothers meeting up after decades apart.

Bok or Bock (I've not asked how it's spelled) is Monty's 'bestest bestest'  friend in the whole world. He lives about 500 metres away, and they've known each other since they first quit their respective mothers' sides.

They can spend hours together play-fighting, chewing each others ears, rough-n-tumbling, or just (what looks like) snogging.... After which they then sleep for hours in each others arms.

The one breed of dog that I've had more dealings with than any other, has been the Border Collie. A dog for whom the word 'faithful' was coined. I'm sure that Bok is only about 50% BC, but he has all the attributes of a perfect companion; certainly our Monty thinks so.

  1. Good to see them get on so well - wish our cats did. Just went into the lounge to light the fire and found a mouse (luckily dead) not sure which cat caught it.

  4. Hello:
    This is wonderful. Recently, when staying with friends in the country, they have two dogs, a Daschund and a cross German Shepherd, who played together in exactly the same way as Bok and Monty. It is really good to see.

  8. I am never surprised and always touched when animals create a bond with each other.
    our welsh terriers, Cj the goose and Badger the hen.....the pigs......

    all have a certain need to be together

  10. That's why we usually get our pets in pairs. Then they aren't only depending on US for playtime, and we can always find a wealth of entertainment by watching THEM play. The only problem is, when something gets broken ... we don't know for sure "which one" of them's the culprit.
