Dog Days - Round 2

I'll give you One Guess as to what we were having for lunch...

hint: "It's the Cheesiest"

Everybody was Kung-Fu Fighting

It all started when Tony found my post-Lasik protective eye goggles. They instantly became one of his favorite accessories.

I would often find him like this...

Pretty soon everybody decided to get in on the action...
the goggles brought out the kung-fu fighter in all of us.

Even Murphy.
hi-ya!

FHE Taylor Style

Mike - giving another fabulous lesson... theme for the week:
"When We're Helping We're Happy"
Jon - listening VERY intently or laughing to self as Tony spanks his buns
Tony - not really listening intently, but instead concentrating on spanking Jon's buns
Courtney - listening VERY intently or wiggling her two loose teeth
McKay - listening VERY intently or trying not to fall asleep on comfy blanket
Murphy - listening VERY intently for the end of the lesson, which means TREATS.
Valerie - listening VERY intently or busy hiding behind couch

Happy Monday Family Home Evening !

Dog Days

Have you Met Murphy ?

Well, one Saturday in June Mike said to me, "hey, let's go to the pound & get a dog". Seriously? I mean, not that there's anything wrong with that, but... seriously?

So off we went. I do not enjoy the pound. It is a sad, stinky place full of sad, stinky animals. As we made our way down the isles... dogs were going crazy everywhere. Barking, jumping, lunging. Then we came to one kennel (I use that word loosely) & There He Was. There was nothing crazy about him. Just quietly sticking his nose through the cage and looking at us with those eyes. We both knew.

We took him outside for some bonding (see if we like him) time and we both knew. I could hardly let him touch me as he was SO DIRTY, matted and yes, stinky. And I immediately sanitized afterward.

We told them we wanted to adopt this dog, and after waiting for him to be neutered, Mike picked him up on Monday. Mike walked in the house Monday night carrying the dog, crazy excitement ensued, followed by an FHE entitled, "let's name the dog". We all agreed on Murphy and the rest of the evening was filled with a steady stream of teenagers coming to see our new addition.

Murphy making himself at home...

Finding a warm place to nap...

Watching over his sisters...

What a great night... and now, 3 months later, What a GREAT DOG !!!

(and, you'll be glad to know that our once malnourished 6 lb dog has now topped 8.2 lbs ~ yeah!!!)

We love you Murphy !
