Needing a haircut but always smiling
That just can't be comfortable!

Murphy was...
Needing a haircut but always smiling
That just can't be comfortable!
Our little old man
Murphy was... Happy, loyal beyond belief, timid but protective -
He knew when Ruth's car pulled in the garage and
was always ready to greet her with tail wagging
(but he ignored anyone else who came in!)
Ready at any moment to rest his little furry chin on
your leg and take a nice nap on your lap
Murphy liked...
Walks, chasing birds, treats, sleeping in the sunshine,
a long drink of water, following Ruth all over the house,
watching Lizzie and Daphne play, stretching on the
grass, biting at sprinklers, curling up with Ruth for
Sunday naps, staring at you while you ate until you
felt guilty enough to share the food with him, pawing
at your arm until you stopped what you were doing
to pet him, and sleeping on Ruth's favorite pillow and
looking so peaceful that she could never move him!
Murphy is...
Running on grass clouds with Clancy, curling up in
Gran's lap, going on walks with Mark and watching
his family as we mourn him and feel grateful we had him
for so long.
Murph was an amazing dog! I will be sad to come to your house and not see his happy face, but I am so glad that he is not in pain anymore and that he can be with Clancy. I love you Murph!
ReplyDeleteOh Ruth, this is a touching tribute to your Murphy. Sorry I wasn't here. Love the photos. They capture his personality so well. I know he will be waiting for you when you come.
