Big Murph Is TWO!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Today is Murph's second birthday.  At least we think it's today....we originally thought it was 12/17, but then in going through some of his paperwork it showed 12/21 as his BDay.  Murph was a DRC rescue, as most of you know....he came to us as a 10 week old puppy.  He was clearly one of the cutest Doodle puppies I had ever seen, and when I found out his name was Murphy, I knew he belonged here.  Remember this picture of "Little Murphy"?

Well "little Murph" has now grown into a "big boy", but he's still pretty darn adorable.  We won't be singing "Happy Birthday" to him, because he HATES music...especially singing.  Heck this "bad boy" is even afraid of the XMAS wrapping paper rolls.  He loves his "Mama", and waits for any chance he can get to plant one of his big, sloppy Doodle kisses right on my mouth.  I love him back.  Guinness gets pretty annoyed with his antics, but deep down I think he'd be totally lost without his brother.

What's he getting for his Birthday.....Agility Classes.  He so needs a "job".  He starts mid-January, and I just have to hope that he does not decide to be "dog reactive" or he'll be thrown out on the first day.  He should be okay, because when there are lots of dogs (like Daycare) he doesn't "fixate".  Murph is a real "high energy" Dood, so I'm hoping that Agility will be fun for him.  He's also getting a marrow bone, and his buddy JD and Auntie Karen sent him some very special treats. 

So Happy Birthday, Big Murph!  You are a sweet boy (most of the time), and I love you sooo much.  I'm very thankful that you came to me.....we're teaching each other.

Two already!  Happy Birthday, Murphy!  I think you'll love Agility!  And there may be lots of other dogs in your area when you practice, but when you get to go to a trial, you get the ring all to yourself, so you can really strut your stuff.
