I know from experience that it's not really a good idea to link the names of pets, as it seems to increase the chance of something happening to one of them. We had a kitten called Eddie, so when we got our puppy, called him Murphy... get it? Well, poor Eddie turned out to have absolutely no road sense at all and only lasted about a year... broke our hearts..
Murphy, on the other hand, has grown up to be a (currently 3½ year old) hale and hearty golden retriever and Murphy by name, Murphy by nature! He's a bouncy, enthusiastic numpty of a dog (unless there's food involved). His life revolves around food, walks and hugs - not necessarily in that order.
As you'll have guessed, he's the love of my life (as my poor husband - of 2 months - acknowledges with a sigh, particularly when I get his and the dog's names mixed up).
He gets up to all sorts of mischief (Murphy, that is) and I am forever regaling my long suffering friends and aquaintances with his latest doings - so I thought I'd cut out all the repetition and start a blog about it. I'll try to keep to the funny stuff so as not to bore anyone who'se already bored enough to have come across this!
Well I'd better go for now, I'll think up all his best past doings for the next few entries...
