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

“Yeah, Whatever” or “The Visit”

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.
The Reaction
*
*
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.)
What Are You?

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.

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. )

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.

Murphy’s Tale Goes On

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….
