Before
So far…..
*
I guess Murphy’s uncle got tired of everyone speculating about what kind of dog Murphy is and sent us this.
*
To me, Murphy resembles an Australian Terrier.
My mom thinks he looks like a Norfolk Terrier.
Google thinks he looks like a Yorkie.
I guess we’ll find out in a couple of weeks if any of us guessed right.
*
*
*
You mean that’s not what you always look like?
I didn’t realize. I haven’t known you that long.
******************************
6 weeks on steroids +1 new medication + < supplement – 7 vials of blood = I guess we’ll find out!

This week, I heard a terrible crash and found Murphy on top of his kennel. In real life all I did was laugh and tell him to get down. I didn’t want him helping himself to his treats, but at the same time I was so happy to see him confident enough to get in trouble.
*
You’re not really mad at me, are you?

(This is one of the early pictures I took of Murphy. Back then he always looked so frightened. )

So I fell in my water dish. So what?
I know we’re supposed to teach our dogs to wait quietly for their meals, but honestly it is so nice to see him excited.

At first, I just thought this was a cute picture, but when I looked at it closer, I could see that Murphy was lost in thought. I know he remembers his first family. I feel so bad that he misses them. All I can do is surround him with love and make sure that he builds tons of happy memories from now on.
I remember….

After looking at my shopping cart compared to everyone else’s, I could just picture the disappointment on my pups’ faces.

I’m not disappointed. I’ll eat anything…including the shopping cart!

Aw come on. Just give me the biscuit already!
I originally taught this game to Geordie. When Toby came along, I was worried that Geordie would understand the game better and get to the treats before Toby had a chance. Not. Toby caught on very quickly, and by Day 3 he was not only finding his biscuit but he was getting Geordie’s as well.
Without another dog to teach Murphy, it took him a tiny bit longer to catch on, but now he is ready to play every day. He is getting so good that I’m struggling for challenging hiding places for his treats.

Oh what fun it is to still/again have Bell’s Palsy!
I talked to two doctors. The first thought that I may not have cleared the Lyme’s disease that originally caused the Bell’s Palsy and that I needed more antibiotics. The second thought that I already cleared Lyme’s but am having lingering neurological effects from it (and I could be this way forever.) My original doctor only gave me a two week supply of antibiotics whereas the usual treatment for neurological Lyme’s is three weeks. To make sure I don’t have bacteria lingering inside me they gave me another three week course of antibiotics. Yay. Now I get to have an upset stomach and a fuzzy head for the rest of January.
