GUINNESS'S FIRST BIRTHDAY
Today is Guinness's actual birthday, but we had the little party last night so our local grand kids could come. My little Emma is 6 and already a Doodle lover. She adores Guinness, and he's always been so sweet with her. I was really wondering how it would go with Murphy. He's a young puppy who is totally full of life, so I had visions of him jumping and nipping. Never happened. The video is actually a little longer than it should be because I was so blown away with how Murphy behaved with the kids. He was incredibly calm and gentle. It was amazing.
It was a great day for Guinness....a new brother to play with, a long walk with Mom, Dad, and Murphy, and his favorite dinner followed by Doggie Blueberry Frozen Yogurt. Guinness loves lamb, but I rarely cook it for him because it's expensive. I made him all his favorites last night....lamb, squash, and whole wheat pasta. He was in heaven. I so wanted to give it to Murphy too, but I was good and didn't. He really needs the puppy kibble while he's so young.
You will notice in the video our 24 year old son is making a "pitch" for DKrs to help him find a "girlfriend". Tim has Down Syndrome, and is very high functioning. He's able to work and we are working with him so that at some point he will move into an assisted, but independent living situation. The only thing missing in his life now...is a girlfriend. So, he takes every opportunity to encourage people to keep they eye out for a young, pretty, challenged young lady for him. He's actually so funny about it.
It was another 6 AM day for us. Again, Guinness was the first up and wouldn't stop until we let Murphy out of the crate to play. Who knew we'd be getting up earlier in our retirement than when we were working? We're making great strides on the housebreaking. Last night I was upstairs putting on my PJs and I heard the bells at the front door ringing like crazy. I assumed it was Guinness, but then I noticed Guinness was in the bedroom. DH was in the den watching TV with his headphones on so he didn't hear the bells. Murphy knew enough when nobody came to let him out the front to run around to the back door near where DH was and ring those bells. The whole process took a little longer than it should have, so he did end up having an accident at the door, but I was completely amazed that after only two days here he would even know to do that.
Murphy goes for his vet visit today. I can't wait for her to meet him. I also expect we'll get the results of Guinness's cytology. Here's hoping for great news on both my boys. Enjoy the video, and again I apologize for the length. I'm thinking I got carried away.

Happy Birthday Guinness!! Don't you just love your new present? Jane, seriously, do you have an IN with God or something? Murphy rang the bells already???? My little dingbat doesn't get the bells at all even tho I've showed her a million times!!! I'm afraid she is a blonde!!! Still no clue to let me know she needs to go out.

So happy to hear the vet had all good news! 45-50 lbs is a great size. Sophie stayed right at 47 for the longest time but has slowly crept up to 50. The 15 lbs between she and Lucy make a big difference. Feels more like 50 lbs sometimes. Hope Guinness has a wonderful rest of the birthday day and you all have a wonderful walk! Isn't it nice to have one for you and one for DH to walk! Just sort of evens things out!
