The Murphy Train Is Home....Guinness is Sleeping With One Eye Open!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Oh, what an amazing, incredible day. We're home. The trip was perfect. Guinness didn't throw up or drool. We didn't get lost....thank heaven for GPS. In years past, DH and I wouldn't be speaking by the time we got there...you know that "asking for directions thing". Lynne's home is Doodle Disneyland! Guinness loved it...I think he wanted to stay. All these awesome Doods...all sizes! It is just such a fun and amazing feeling there. On the trip home my two boys snuggled together and slept..the whole way! Guinness never closed both eyes though. Just one at a time. Then we got home. Guinness started the "humping"...what's up with that! He doesn't do that. It's gross! Well it happened three times, and then Murphy put him right in his place. It hasn't happened since. Okay, I took a break for potty. I learned they won't potty together yet...to busy playing. So, it's one at a time. Oh no, Murphy is trying to hump Guinness. Nice thing for a big brother to teach the baby. They were both starving. Guinness's food on one end of the kitchen and Murphy's on the other end. Nice try, Mom. All of a sudden Guinness likes kibble....I don't think so! They are great about sharing the water bowl though...very cute! Since dinner they've been wrestling non stop. My son wants to know if there is a "WWE" for dogs...he thinks they would be stars. I know Guinness is exhausted. I think he's thinking "okay Mom, the play date is over, can he go home now?". The most interesting part will be in a little while when it's our traditional "cuddle time" in the bed. Hmm, how will Guinness like that? Murphy is a Doodle "cowboy". He's rough and tough and takes no prisoners. He growled and nipped at me when I went to put the leash on him...he's not crazy about that leash. I think my response made him aware that wasn't going to "fly". Guinness looked appalled. If he could talk I'm sure he would have said..."big mistake". He is very sweet, but I'm going to need to start the training right away because he's "spunky" with a mind of his own. I have seen that already. Guinness, my "velcro" dog doesn't seem to know I'm alive tonight. I wonder how long that will last? I'm too tired to upload the pictures tonight....besides it's our cuddle time. I promise tomorrow though. I wonder what the night will bring? Should be interesting. Thanks again to all my DK friends for your well wishes and support, and special hugs from Guinness and Murphy to the "fairy godmothers". Good Night till tomorrow.

The boys were ready to "rock and roll" at 6:15. Murphy made it from 11:00 last night till then with only a couple little pee drips in the crate. Not really an accident, just "drips" He went out and did his business (beautiful poop) just like a big boy. They are playing under my desk right now...oh my poor feet (puppy needle teeth). Murphy settled in like he's lived here his whole life. Wasn't sure about the stairs last night, so I carried him....once. After that he was a pro. He wanted Guinness's home cooking so bad this morning, but once he realized he couldn't have it he "inhaled" his kibble. I'm going to give him some leftover turkey for his noon meal, and then back to kibble tonight. It's only 7:47 here, and DH has already taken him out for his third pee break. So, the "cuddle time" last night was no problem. I thought that would be the time when Guinness would get jealous, but he was great about it. Murphy just laid on top of me in bed and Guinness snuggled in at my side. They were great, and I got my daily fill of doodle kisses. When it was time for bed though, Murphy wasn't to sure he wanted to go into the crate. He liked my bed way better. He barked for a few minutes, and then he was out for the night. I had the crate right next to Guinness's bed at first, but that didn't work. Murphy just wanted to come out and play. Once I moved it to the other side of the room where he could still see me, but wasn't right next to Guinness, he settled quickly. Murphy is really smart. He has figured out his way around so fast....was trying to drink out of the toilet this morning....jumped up on the side, but he couldn't quite reach. He scratches at the door to go out. Today we're going to work on "sit" because he doesn't seem to know that at all. I'm thinking he'll learn that pretty fast...especially with treats involved. I have to figure out something to do with Guinness while I'm training...otherwise it would be way too distracting. That's it for now....shower time. DH is going to the gym so I guess I'll have to bring them in the bathroom with me. I will get to the pictures later....

Congratulations. I went to the Irish Fair today and the Guinness booth was situated right next to the sign for the Murphy Clan reunion. I so wish I had take my camera.

Hey Jane, congrats on the new addition!!! I've been so busy I've only barely glanced at the title of most blogs on here...so I knew a new pup was coming but not much more! I need to read your previous blog soon to catch up!
