Good Host/Bad Host

We had company this weekend, Maggie dog came to stay with us. I think I was a really good host, although my lady says I was a bad host...all I can say is YOU DECIDE!!!! I personally believe that it is my responsibility to provide entertainment for our dog guests, and there are two types of entertainment I try to provide, a good game of chase or a good wrestling match. The visit started off in the backyard, can you see me following Maggie around?


Hey, what you doing over there? Don't ya want to play?

Look at meeeeeeeee, come ONNNNNN CHASEEEE MEEEEEEEEEEE!

Alright, look, you are here and I have to provide you with entertainment, all good hosts do, so lean down here and let me tell you about the activities I have planned.

Alright, that's it, since you won't listen I'm gonna have to jump on up and tell you that you are supposed to chase me!
Well, that didn't work to well, so when we were inside I decided to try again. Okay Maggie Dog, I'm looking at you and I am ready to wrestle!

That's it, show some TEETH! Ohh and some growling, yeah, that's the way to play!

Hey, wait a minute, how did I end up down here? And upside down even? That's not the way the game is played.

Wait one stinkin' minute, now you are just laying on my head to keep me from getting up? I don't think I like playing with you, you're kinda boring....

All these great activities I had planned......

So, you call it, am I a good host? And Maggie is just a bad guest? (Vote for that!!!!!)

Or, am I just a little pain in Maggie's butt, making me a bad host? (No Way!!!!!)

After Maggie left I was all worn out, it's hard to be entertaining. Look at my tired eyes, and my flipped back ear, it does that all the time.

I think I had better rest my head now. Yeah, that knee is pretty comfortable.

Ummm, so sleepy my head hung off the couch and I didn't even care. I hope Maggie comes and visits again real soon. Sweet doggie Dreams!

Stupid Camera!

So there I was last week staying at Judy and Audrey's house, my lady was in Lost Wages and I was hanging out with the laaaaaaadies. Woof Woof to the ladies!

Whenever Audrey and I come back inside after being outdoors, we have to sit and we get a treateruskie, a bribola, a little bit of something good! Since I love the treats, I do what I am supposed to do and sit down and wait for the treat to be handed out. The first few times I would just snap that treat up, and if I accidentally snapped up a piece of Judy's hand, well, SORRY! I learned real quick to gently, gently take the treat. But I gotta tell ya, it's really hard to sit and wait. I kinda wiggle, my butt bounces around, but I don't get that treat till my butt sits solidly on the floor and I am calm, mean old Judy! Well, the last time around Judy didn't immediately give us our treat, she got out that stupid old camera and tried to make us take a picture! But we foiled her plans for a cute picture, as you can see we refused, REFUSED to look at the camera at the same time! Ha, that'll show you trying to take a picture while we wait for our treat.

First Audrey refused to look at the camera, then

I refused to look at the camera!

So Judy was forced to crop us out individually, but don't I look rather handsome with my beautiful glowing green eyes!? And that Audrey is one pretty lady. : )

I hope Judy learned her lesson, don't mess with us and our treats by getting out the camera!

I also would like to thank all of you that pointed out that you like underwear too! Chelsea, I agree, the teeth marks should make them think of us, silly people! And Liberty, nope, frisbees aren't my things, yet! I'm willing to learn!

Life is Good

It's great when my lady gets back from a trip, she always feels guilty so I get extra play time, Whoo HOOO! I was such a good boy at Judy's, I didn't pee inside, I didn't eat any thing I shouldn't, and I left Judy's shoes alone. What a Good Boy I am! Of course Audrey and I were outside except for when we were sleeping, but still, I was good! Judy called me a perfect gentleman, she don't know me very well!

So here I am burning off some extra energy, doing my favorite thing, RUNNING! Well, maybe my second favorite thing, my first favorite thing is tearing up my ladies underwear, but no underwear, so running it is.

READY!

GO!

Keep GOING!

Multi SHOTS, I am FAST!

I'm Gonna Catch you SUCKER!

PLAY BALL! PLEAAAAAAAAAASE!

My Lady loves it when my ears fly up while running, so here is a close up just for her!

That is it for now....

WOW!

In honor of being nominated for the DWB photo of the month my lady got me a new toy! It squeaked, it was tough, it said it was almost (ALMOST!) indestructible, WHOO HOOO I was so excited. I squeaked it, then I...........

DESTROYED IT! IN FIVE MINUTES!



Here's me and the "indestructible" toy

Dead toy, dead, dead, dead.....I just can't seem to help loving my toys to death.

Goodbye new toy..... you were fun for about ten minutes.

See that black dot in the left hand corner? that's the tip of my nose....

My lady is off to Lost Wages Nevada, So I'll be gone till Friday, but I won't have to stay at the pee pee hotel, thank goodness.

I'm BACCCCCCCKKKKKKKK!

And better than ever!

Here is where my lady stayed, look at that view out the window, WOW!

And out the main lobby. Too bad my lady didn't get a picture of the hammock she spent so much time in.

How come they let Bunny stay there, but not dogs? No Fair!



When my lady came and got me, she was so mad at the kennel.....When she picked my up I was really smelly and kind of sticky.....I was covered in PEE!!!!! I didn't care, but she sure did. She asked why I was covered in pee, and they told her that I had pee'd in my crate and then laid down in it, ummm, NO WAY! First of all I don't pee in my crate, and I most certainly WOULD NOT LAY IN IT! So she was mad.

After she talked to one of the people that worked in the back she found out that the dog in the crate next to me would pee out of his crate and into my crate AND ON ME! Ohhhhhh she was mad, mad mad MADDDDDD! I don't think I'll be staying there anymore (but I did have fun playing, I was plain old tired out when I got home.)

But to show her that I did not appreciate being left behind, I would not look at her.

But then she yelled "WHACK A MOLE!" Which is my favorite game, so I jumped up all excited about playing Whack a Mole.

This is how you play, my lady moves her foot or her arm around under the covers and I jump up and ATTTTTTACK!


The she moves something else and I jump up and CHEWWWWW!

Waiting for the mole to reappear...... is that it, is it, is it?

There it IS!!!!
Wow, I love the game Whack a Mole, after we played for a while I decided to forgive my lady for leaving and I curled up and fell asleep.

It's good to be home. It's gonna take me a few days to catch up on all your blogs, but I can't wait to do it!

Kathleen Here

Well, I feel like a Mom dropping off her child for the first time at school. I am going on vacation for five days with the person who normally watches Murphey for me. That meant I had to find somewhere for him to stay....I had lots of offers, but he really needs some special attention, most houses (or people) really don't know how to handle a terrier puppy. They think they have puppy-proofed, but I am here to tell you, they haven't a clue. Just last night I came home to Murph sleeping on top of the DINING ROOM table! I don't even know how he got up there (umm, perhaps he jumped?)

Anyway, here is where he will be staying.

Here he is, so excited to be going in because he smells and hears other dogs!

Let me in, let me in, LET ME IN!

the big meet and great!



So there I was feeling really sad, hating to leave him and he didn't even look at me when I left! I know he'll have fun, and I wish I could have taken him with me. even though he kinda looks like he's in jail behind those bars! Murph will be back next week!

Which one am I?

Well after three hours THREE HOURS! I finally got this post to work, but I'm not bitter, no, not me.....dang blogger.

But on to the fun stuff! I went to the dog park and what did I see? A dog that looked just like ME! Well, pretty darn close doncha think? Which one am I?

Her name is Tobi and she looked so sad when I wasn't playing with her!

Don't be sad Tobi, come over here and we'll play!

Really that's Tobi, not me!

She made me laugh, when she got tired, she would sit in a chair just like a person! She is one lucky dog. And a pretty labradoodle, my lady said she will get LOTS bigger than me, Really?!

After pretty Tobi left, I decided to turn in to A RABBIT! Don't I look like a rabbit?

Okay maybe not.

(wow that was a pretty pitiful post after all that hard work).

Blogger 1 Murph 0

Well, blogger, or my computer, or something is JUST NOT WORKING! everything is taking ten times too long, no matter what computer I use, and then, when I think it's okay, the gosh darn thing won't post my pictures, GRHHHHHHHHHHHH, SNAP! I could just bite blogger and then give it the death shake, then for good measure I would tear it up like I do to paper and fling the remains all over the house.

I'm gonna go dig some holes in the backyard, track mud in the house and chew on anything I can find, that might make me feel better.

Murph the Peeved Dog

Is that you Joe?

Hey, look at our glowing eyes, we must be possessed by the running demon, it makes our eyes GLOWWWWWW. Hey, wait a minute, is that perhaps Joe chasing me?

Let me find out if it is Joe, I will use my super-dooper, fool-proof, butt sniff detection system!

Sniff, check, re-sniff, check and it is.......

NOT JOE! It's ROYYYYYYYY!

Actually, I'm feeling kind of foolish, cause this guy ain't nearly as handsome as Joe. Not sure how I could have even thought it was Joe, blame it on the fact that I was tired and there was just too much dog action happening today!
