Murphy











I get up too early, before the sun early. I have time to think about stuff. Usually, I am thinking about dog stuff. Usually, there are a bunch of dogs here watching me think about stuff. This morning I was thinking about Murphy. He is so special. He stays with me for most holidays and comes to the park once a week. Murphy is fun and sweet and he is endowed with my absolute favorite quality in a dog. Murph respects the vibe. He is awesome at the park, peaceful at home, fun to walk in the 'hood, loves kids and all my friends, Murphy even gets my old granny Grace to share a dog bed with him. He is all fun and love.
Then, I was thinking... funny how he is such a sensible little package of a dog. Brown and black, mid - size, short easy coat. He is such a regular guy on the surface.
If you think about it...
Awesome things come in regular packages.

August and Thursday and Evvy



















August and Thursday are little littles. I only get to see them a few times a year. I met them a while back when August was newly rescued. The Family called to schedule some training. The rescue required it for all new adoptions. I meet the family and ask the usual questions. " How is the house training going?" "Barking at strangers?" "Chewing stuff up when you're away?" Nope, No, No problem...I say "OK." Now, this training session is mandatory per the adoption. So, I start asking more questions...I am here to do some training. Right? "What about your first dog?", "Is Thursday jealous?", "guarding toys?" Great, no way, perfect....
What the hell is going on here!! These are Chihuahuas for Christ stake! They can not be as good as these people are telling me.

We end up just kind of chatting about dog. The owners have a little trip planned and ask if I know a good kennel. I said I could take the "perfect dogs". I was sure I would find the chink in the armor if I had some time alone with them.

I picked them up on a Friday, by Monday I had to agree. These dogs are perfect!!!
Quiet, playful, confident, snugglers. I never get to spend enough time with them. The family has a new Baby. Evvy. It is a human baby.
She will probably be super awesome,too.
