Murphy



OK...so it's been awhile. I seriously do not know where the time goes. Do you find yourself saying the same thing? All I know is that when you get a puppy, it's kind of (only kind of) like having a new baby in the house. Days kind of blur together in a series of repetitive events....get up, go outside, come in for cheerio treat, play, chew, eat, go outside, cheerio treat, sleep, play, drink, chew, go outside, oops! an accident, go outside again, play, chew, bite, ouch! sleep, play...okay so you get the picture.

We have really fallen for the little guy. He was 1 pound 10 oz when we brought him home , and now he is a whopping 3 pounds 7 oz. He has loads of personality, and he is quite precocious. (I remember working in a bookstore for kids, and just about every grandparent, parent, aunt and uncle was buying books for a "precocious" child. It's amazing how many of them there are running around out there.) And so it is with pets, too.

For your viewing enjoyment, here are a few photos of the little pup. We are preparing to take off for a trip out west - 2,000 miles to Vegas, baby (with Murphy in tow). More to come.




Coming home....it's kind of hard to tell them apart, but Puppy Dog was with him on the ride home and has since become his best buddy.



Murphy vs. the Flip Flop.



The flip flop won this time.....

It is so great to "hear" from you! I absolutely LOVE these pictures of Murphy...he is adorable! Enjoy your trip out West and time with Ryan. We'll make plans to get together once you return.

Murphy is so cute and I'm not normally a fan of the teeny dogs. You sound happy. I'm glad you're getting out to Vegas again. Maybe you'll win your millions this time. :-)
