I’m afraid this is what passes for patriotism with my boys.
Happy Independence Day everyone!

*Nom nom* That blueberry was delicious.
I’ll eat all the rest in those buckets, thank you.
Murphy has figured out where blueberries come from, and he is quite willing to pick them himself. What a helpful lad.

Huh, who would have guessed that Google would come closest?

I was hoping that Cousin Doogie would entice Murphy to play, but Murphy seemed determined to nap his way through the weekend. Why didn’t I get any pictures of them together? This was about as close as they got the whole time. Both turned out to be shy guys who preferred to stay near familiar humans.
(The next time I or anyone in my family adopts a dog, I think I am going to insist they get a Westie. Then all I will have to draw are eyes and a nose and not fuss with all these colors!)
I wasn’t ignoring you. You just weren’t very interesting.

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!
