Murphy has another young pupster to ignore now - Duke, currently 4 months old, is a bearded Collie/Retriever cross. he's going to be BIG! He's already almost the size of Maddie and just wants to play. He belongs to Nick, my stepson, and his wife Elle. When he comes round, Duke tries to play with Murphy (who ignores him as best he can with Duke licking his face all the time) and then maddie (who growls at him and eventually retreats to her crate for some peace - she's really very anti-social!). he's pretty much given up with her now.
He would then turn to the cat - would she play with him? - eeh, no.
However, Jake is another matter entirely! Now 18 months old, he is totally up for a rumble! The two of them tumble over each other, growling away with gay abandon! Until, that is, Murphy decides there's too much noise, at which point he'll get up, stretch, wander over to where they are and growl at them - not too scary but obviously telling them to "keep the noise down, kids!"
And that works - they separate and you can see them almost bowing as they back off - "sorry granda!" (before they start again elsewhere) - it is so funny to see it! Murphy comes back and lies down again - job done. Pesky kids!
