Monte’s Ideas About Teamwork

These thoughts from Monte, service dog and occasional guest blogger, originally appeared in October, 2011. # # # I’m trying to figure out my role in what’s happening. You all know we’re doing this thing called Rich’s Ride. For me it’s not that big a deal, because I just do what I always do. Rich […]

Anybody Wanna SAG?

This is Monte, and I’m part of the team too! Last time Rich told you about all the teams that work together to make FRONT RANGE FREEDOM TOUR ’14 a success. He says we’re working with people all over the world. I don’t know what that means–I’m just a dog–but it sounds cool. He also made this spiffy […]

Who Cares How It Used To Be?

On this trip people have started saying I’m “slowing down.” This is Monte, dropping in for my occasional guest post. If you aren’t a long-time follower of RICH’S RIDE, we share a little secret here: I’m really able to understand everything Becky and Rich say. This “slowing down” thing apparently has something to do with […]

Monte Talks About His Job

Hi. I’m Monte, Rich’s service dog. It’s been a while. The last time I wrote we were still some place called “Florida.” If you’re new here, Rich lets me in as a guest writer occasionally. It turns out that I’m usually the most popular author on the blog, but I don’t think that bothers him […]

Reflections From A People Magnet

Well, we started our latest tour Monday. From a dog’s perspective, it was kind of a letdown. First, I usually get to run with Rich when he starts. But today he started in the middle of this big city with a lot of traffic, so I stayed with Becky. I like being with her, but […]

Why Doesn’t The Bike Move?

Rich and Becky do some things that just don’t make sense. Most of the time I just go along. I figure I’m just a dog and they’re smarter than I am. But Rich does this one really dumb thing every winter. Now Becky’s doing it, too, and even a dog can see it makes no […]

Tales And Tails

I’m a published author! You knew I was a blogger. That’s cool, but now I’m co-author of a real book. Okay, “co-author” might be a bit of an overstatement. In Rich’s new book, I got to write one chapter called Canine Philosophy. It’s chapter 24 if you want to skip the other stuff and get […]

I LOVE My Job

Hi. Monte here. I’ve been meaning to write this article ever since we got back from DC. Frankly, I’ve been worn out. You probably think that’s funny, since Becky and Rich do all the work, but I’m part of this team, too, and on this trip I had a much bigger job. Our core team […]

Strange Noises

Hi. It’s Monte, resuming my role as guest blogger. It’s been a while since we chatted, so maybe I should introduce myself since some of you might be new here. I’m Rich’s service dog, the one everyone always pets while they read the sign on my vest that says “Please don’t pet me.” I don’t mind. […]

A Peaceful Morning Ride

I intended to post this on July 4, but some cretin hacked my site and it was down all day. Sorry for any inconvenience. Anyway, I invite you to take a July 4th morning ride with Monte and me and reflect a bit on freeedom. Enjoy. We’ll be hitting thew road in a couple of […]

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Hi. It’s Monte again, giving Rich a break. You can read my other articles here. * * * * * Rich says he borrowed my regular space yesterday. That’s fine, since dogs don’t know about dates and stuff. But I’m glad I get one more chance to talk to you, because this one thing has […]

Does He Bite?

Hi. It’s Monte again, giving Rich a break. You can read my other articles here. * * * * * We’re in another new place called the South. I don’t know what that means—it’s just another place with unique smells to check out. But I have noticed something I don’t like very much. People keep […]
