My Dog Monty is Famous!

My dog Monty is featured in a monthly newsletter for Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer!

So how did this happen? Well, I am on Twitter (a micro-blogging site where you answer the question “what are you doing” all day long. It’s strangely addicting!) and I had written about watching the Dog Whisperer (seriously, one of my favorite shows!) and then got “followed” by @cesarmillan . One day they wrote “Tweet your favorite holiday photo of your dog, and we could select it for Photo of the Month! Points for creativity!” so I submitted this photo of Monty that I took for our 2006 Christmas card.

They chose my photo and their comments were: “Thanks so much again for allowing us permission to use the photo. We saw a long line of dog-in-a-Santa-hat shots, but the added charm of the ‘beard’ (and the professional image quality) really made this one stand out. It was just too adorable to pass up!” Normally, I charge for the use of my images, but being such a big fan of the show and Cesar Millan (my dog is much more balanced now because of them!), I didn’t mind letting them use it.

So my beloved dog Monty gets his 15 seconds of fame. I gave him a whole graham cracker to celebrate!

Here’s the bigger photo:

I seriously love this little guy!

    Thanks everyone!

    April – your schnauzer puppy is SO CUTE! We got Monty as an adult dog from a rescue, so we never got to experience that puppy cuteness with him. I’m going to watch your blog for more cuteness!
