Yeah, my face and your butt!
No wait…that’s not right...
We’ve been having a good week. As soon as things settle down, I look forward to telling more stories. 🙂

Well, it turns out Doogie is just as cooperative for photos as Murphy is.

I think I’m going to ignore him and eat this grass.

Ignore me, will ‘ya? Well I’ll ignore you right back!
*************************
This evening I found Doogie lying in Murphy’s bed. He gave me a look that whispered, “Don’t tell him I’m here.” OK. I won’t tell him, but I bet before this visit is over, I’ll find the two of you curled up together like best friends.

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.

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.

I’m sorry. Were you still talking?

I’ve had to see the eye doctor a number of times in the past months. During my last visit, the doctor asked me a bunch of questions then declared, “This Bell’s Palsy isn’t acting the way it should”. Yay. It feels like someone might finally be hearing me. I guess other underlying conditions can exacerbate the palsy, and that is what she is considering. Paws crossed that in the coming months I get some relief.

You mean that’s not what you always look like?
I didn’t realize. I haven’t known you that long.

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. )

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….
