Murph

Okay, I just realized that i haven't officially introduced Murph. He is our very wonderful, very mellow golden retriver. Murph stumbled into our lives last year about this time. He is definately the best dog EVER. I know people always say that about their dogs, but we actually mean it. He is well trained, well mannered, and would follow us anywhere. Murph loves what most dogs love... fetching a toy, getting his belly scratched, and the occasional "cleaning" of areas that I wish he would clean in private. Yesterday was Murph's last official day as a boy dog. That's right, we had him neutered. I can't believe we waited so long. Of course, I have been at work the last couple of days so I haven't seen the poor guy. Ben has been at home taking care of him and hopefully Murph hasn't ever noticed that something is missing.... We love you Murph!

January

Ughh, it's January 25th. This is one of my least favorite times of year. The holidays are over, it's still cold outside, and it still gets dark early. I have to drag myself outside everyday to walk Murph to the park. By the way, apparently dogs don't notice when it's cold or rainy outside.... I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that warmer weather is in our future.
