Pet of the Month
We love your pets, so we’re showcasing them.
- Bonnie
🎉🐾 May Pet of the Month: Bonnie! 🐾🎉 Proudly loved by Mike and Sandy
Meet Bonnie — a truly remarkable girl who’s showing us all how to age with grace, grit, and plenty of tail wags. At 16 years old, she’s still enjoying life’s simple joys and making every day count.
🌄 Favorite things to do together: Heading up to Lake City for walks, fresh mountain air, and a good swim.
🏊 Does Bonnie enjoy swimming? Absolutely — she still takes short, refreshing dips like a champ.
🧸 Favorite toy: Any stuffed animal she can get her paws on.
🍃 Favorite treat: Greenies — always a hit.
🛏️ Favorite place to sleep: The garage, her cozy and familiar spot.
🌟 Special talents: Just being alive and thriving at 16 is impressive enough — but still swimming? That’s Bonnie-level extraordinary.
🤣 Quirky or funny behaviors: Rolling on her back with pure joy, especially when there’s snow on the ground.
We’re honored to celebrate Bonnie this month — a senior sweetheart who reminds us that every age is a good age to enjoy life.

🎗️ May Is Pet Cancer Awareness Month
Cancer touches far too many of the pets we love — but early detection truly makes a difference. This month, we’re encouraging our Montrose pet families to stay alert to small changes and keep up with routine checkups, especially for senior pets.
🐾 Signs to watch for:
New or changing lumps
Weight loss without trying
Decreased appetite
Non‑healing sores
Limping or stiffness
Changes in energy or behavior
If something feels “off,” trust your gut. You know your pet better than anyone.
