He can come, but he can’t have my spot by the door.

Cousin Doogie will be joining us for the weekend. While Murphy has never had canine company, I am optimistic he;s going to enjoy having a buddy for a few days.
(Secretly I am hoping that Doogie teaches Murphy how to play. I think maybe a puppy will be able do what a human can’t.)

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.

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.

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….

I try not to think about those days. I prefer thinking about food!
