Monty Monday - Oops!

Hey Monty, why are you hiding under there?

You didn’t see?

See what?

The couch. You were gone, and I was here alone, and the thunder and lightning and wind and tree branches hitting the house and I…I guess I panicked.

Well Monty.  It’s not the first time this has happened, is it? But that time everything came out all right, didn’t it? So don’t worry about it, we’ll fix this one the same way.

You mean it, It’s OK? And I get to come with you anyway?

Thanks Dad.

The Montyman Recovered

When we first adopted Monty from AZGRC his first action in our house was to claim the ottoman as his.  We didn't mind - it was the perfect size for our Monty to take his afternoon snooze on.  Somewhere along the way (and most likely while chasing sunbeams...) Monty decide the ottoman needed a little "altering" and he did a little digging...  Hence, the Montyman was born!

It's a good thing we love the boy!

Returning to the scene of the crime...

Since his digging caused the leather to become very thin, we decided that instead of repairing the leather we would try to cover the ottoman. 

We selected material we thought Monty would like.  (Harlow wanted pink...)

 ...and yes, Harlow helped her Momma out during the whole process...

So soft!

After some serious measuring, pinning and cutting, the new cover was ready to be sewed.

Someone was upset he couldn't take his nap.

There was also some minor clean-up of the scrap material...

I can has dis stuff?

All in all, we think the new cover came out looking okay.  It definitely helps to hide Monty's alterations.

Our next project is to recover the rest of the cushions - also victims of Monty's decorating whims.

The last step was to see if Monty liked his new ottoman cover...

Dis is nice.

We think he does!
