Meet the Characters: Q&A with Montague the Dog
30th October 2017
A loyal bundle of energy, Montague has been part of the Crackle family for years. He’s a best friend of Emily Crackle and part of the ‘Famous Fur’. A group of pets consisting of Sausage, Montague, Paul and Molly.
What is your earliest memory?
It was at Christmas Eve. Emily had left out a mince pie and a glass of sherry for Father Christmas and a carrot for Rudolph. I remember running downstairs and wolfing it all down. I was very poorly in morning. Mummy Crackle said it was the sherry.
Have you got a nickname?
I tried to get one to stick. Patch, M-Dog, T-Bone… even Monty. As a puppy I used to go the park and learn how to play fetch, when Emily would call my name other dogs would laugh because I wasn’t called Rex or Buster. Then I grew up. The other dogs don’t laugh at at my name anymore.
What’s your favourite Christmas food?
What did you say? Food! Where? Woof! Sorry. Turkey? I’ll take a leg. Sorry! I get so distracted if anyone even mentions food. A couple of Christmases ago I couldn’t help myself. I snuck downstairs the night before Christmas Eve and went to take a big bite out of the turkey. I slipped and ended up in a rather embarrassing position. It took both Daddy Crackle and Tim to pull the big bird off my head.
What’s your favourite Christmas carol or song?
Bark! The Herald Angels Sing!
Tell us a Christmas joke…
What’s the most popular Christmas wine? I don’t like Brussels sprouts. I really don’t. I like meat. Woof!
What do you do in your spare time?
I love building bases. After I’ve eaten and been for a walk. And then had a little nap. I like to build a base. Often Tim and Emily will help. The other day we built a brilliant base which was named ‘Montague’s Fort’. Tim made me wear jester’s hat, which I quite liked.
