Good Murphy

This is our first doghter Murphy. When she first came to us as a puppy in December of 2006 from Sis and Brother-in-law, we took turns staying up with her for the first two weeks. I am not sure if that was a good representation of what Dadhood might be, but Puppy Murphy showed me what sleep deprivation could be like. Lately, we have been awoken to her barking in the middle of the night-maybe that is Murph's way of getting us ready for Baby Guppy.

Murphy is McLovin some ice cubes on a hot Saturday afternoon with her Kong toy nearby. Murphy is almost 18 months old and weighing in at 103 lbs. Hopefully she will accommodate Guppy when he is older into her busy schedule -somewhere between chasing her Kong toy, laying in her doggie pool, and napping. Murphy is a big reminder of her namesake's Law. Thankfully we get along.
