hello everyone.... it continues to be quite uneventful here chez murphy. Who knows how long it will last? I took him for a run this morning and he was goodness itself. Wow. Spends his morning walks with me happily chewing sticks and turning up for treats whenever anyone else looks like they might be getting one... Archie the Airedale is very direct about such things, he just sticks his head in your pocket to get the bag of treats (assuming he hasn't battered his head into the back of your legs and brought you down first), whereas Murphy's chosen method is the constant hovering around and getting in your way with his head poised round about pocket level, looking at you expectantly.
Our recent additions in the morning, Holly and Mischa the spoodles (that's not the name but I forget) - crosses of spaniels and poodles - are much better behaved and don't beg the way the boys do. But when Mischa has been (literally) run over by Archie and gets a bit scared, Holly goes and bullies him back, it's really funny, she keeps running up and barking right at him then running away again, til Archie moves off sheepishly (well, as sheepish as Archie can be, he has a great line in barefaced cheek!) Last week Lynn was heading off early and Archie didn't want to go so simply lay down and refused to move!
The photo shows our great morning walk earlier in the week with a snow blizzard - the snow lasted about 3 hours and 2 days later it was 12 degrees but we were briefly hopeful for a decent bit of the white stuff that morning.
correction - the photo will show it once I find the camera to download it!
