Me is not a tattletale

Miss Pitty Pat says me is a tattletale and this is not tha truth at all. See this is what happened. Last night we was all sitting in tha den trying to escape tha heat. Mommy had opened tha sliding glass door to tha outside and had tha screen door in place. There was only one problem with having the screen door in place. See a couple weeks ago Mommy had put me outside and shut tha screen and forgotted me was out there. Me wanted to come back inside and so me pushed at the bottome of the screen door and pushed the screen out and came back inside. The screen hasn't been fixed and there is the problem.

So back to me story. We was all sitting in tha den trying to escape tha heat and suddenly me realized something was not right. Me kept whining and woofing at Mommy and hers would say "Hush Murphy" or "Murphy lay down and be quiet". Hers just didn't understand me was trying to tell her something really important. Me didn't give up though, me kept worrying Mommy and finally hers said "Murphy do you need to go outside?" Well finally!! Yes me needed to go outside and so did her. We got to tha back door and Mommy opened tha screen door and said "Let's go outside" well me knew right away hers wasn't going to go outside with me so me had to do something and fast cause time was wasting so me just stood in tha middle of tha kitchen and barked at her. Mommy walked out tha door and said "Murphy come". Well me has to obey that command cause me was trained to but that was okay cause her was outside now too and that's what me wanted her to do. Me runned right over to that patio table and woofed and Mommy said "Miss Pitty Pat what are you doing out here?"

Finally!!! Me knew that ole kitty was outside and wasn't supposed to be. Hers had pushed through tha torn screen (me fault) and escaped. Miss Pitty Pat isn't supposed to go outside cause hers won't stay in tha back yard. Mommy is afraid her will go to tha park and maybe get eaten by a coyote. Mommy scooped that kitty up and brought her back inside. And that is why me is a tattletale or at least that is what Miss Pitty Pat is calling me now. Mommy says me was a good dog and let her know that her little kitty was outside and her was proud of me. Miss Pitty Pat hasn't spoken to me all day today but me don't care cause Mommy would be so very sad if something happened to her Miss Pitty Pat.

Pizza Night

Me just loves it when Mommy and Daddy decides it's Pizza Night at our house. Mommy decided it was just to hot to do any cooking for dinner tonight. Me thinks her was just being a little bit lazy cause her had a perfectly lovely piece of beef in tha fridgerator. Her says her forgot to put it in tha crockpot. Anyway cause Mommy didn't feel like cooking thems deemed it was Pizza Night and Daddy ordered a pizza for us.

When the Pizza guy came to tha house with our pizza me decided it would be a good thing to go outside when Daddy wasn't looking and greet this deliverer of wonderful food so out me bounded. Daddy didn't think it was such a good idea and made me come back inside. Heck all me wanted to do was give the pizza man a big ole boxer kiss as a thank you.

Daddy paid tha pizza man and broughted that pizza inside for us to have for dinner. This is how it works when we have pizza night. Daddy and Mommy fill their plates with a couple slices of pizza and goes to watch the telebision and me goes and sits very attentively in front of Mommy to wait for her to give me the crust that her doesn't eat. This is a very good plan cause Mommy doesn't waste and food and me gets to have pizza. When Mommy finishes hers pizza me goes and sits very attentively in front of Daddy and wait for his handouts. The only thing is Daddy eats all of his pizza so me don't get any pizza from him. Tonight me had 3 pieces of pizza crust and it was yummy!! Me is sure if me vet Dr. Caldwell knew about this her would not be happy but me isn't going to tell her.

Happy Summer Solistice

This has been a berry interesting week for this Boxer Pup. Monday there was an accident and it wasn't me fault, really!!! See Daddy and Mommy went off to tha work places and left me out of me crate like thems been doing. The problem was this, usually Daddy comes home during tha day and him lets me outside while hims here. Monday hims was gone all tha live long day and that's when tha accident happened that wasn't me fault. Me had to pee really bad and me tried really, really hard not to go inside. Me almost made it til thems got home but it happened, the accident in the den. Me was lucky that Mommy and Daddy understood and wasn't mad at me. This was the first accident me had in almost 7 months.

Mommy had a wonderful idea. Hers thought that maybe they could put the kitties downstairs in Daddy's office and shut the door. Then thems could leave the sliding glass door open just enough for me to go in and out, just like a pet door. This is the bestest idea hers has ever had cause this whole week both Mommy and Daddy has been gone from 6:30 in tha morning until 4:30 or 5:00 and me can go outside and suntan or come inside and sleep on tha sofa. And best of all, me gets more exercise cause me can run around the back yard and play. Me hasn't had anymore accidents either since me can go outside when me wants too.

Tha other thing that happened was me had to go see Dr Caldwell for a checkup and some shots. Hers said me was very handsome and in excellent health and hers also suggested that Mommy might want to get some over that counter medicine to wipe me face with cause me has doggie acne and hers doesn't want it to turn into something serious. Her also suggested that Mommy should get me a wading pool to play in. Me thinks this is a very wonderful idea cause me really loves to play in tha water. Me hopes her goes and gets me a wading pool soon. After all today is tha first day of summer. Murphy

Me is a really bonefide full grown dog for sure. Me knows this cause me has not been crated for 3 weeks. The only time me has to go into the crate now is if me is being a bad dog or gets to excited. Of course this means me has new responsibilities as a grownup dog. Me is now really responsible for being a guard dog while Mommy and Daddy is away from the house. Most of the time this is not a problem cause me likes to sit on me ottoman in tha living room and look out the picture window. It's been really hot and when it gets really hot me gets really sleepy and has to take naps all throughout tha day even when me is on guard duty.

Yesterday Mommy and Daddy wented out to see a moobee and left me to guard the house. This was okay cause me likes to gurad the house but it is really hard work and it was getting really warm in tha house and it made me sleepy. So me decided to take a little break (thats what ya do when you works, ya take breaks) and go lay on tha love seat in that den where it was really cool and dark. Me knows me hadn't been napping very long but sure enough while me was all curled up and comfy on tha love seat in walks Mommy and Daddy.

Mommy is used to me meeting hers at the top of the stairs when hers comes in through tha garage door. Not today........today me didn't greet her. Mommy went into that living room and looked, no Murphy. Hers went up stairs and looked, no Murphy. Hers asked Daddy "wheres Murphy". This whole time me was curled up on tha love seat snoozing. Hers came back into tha den and saw me in tha dark and said "MURPHY you is suppose to be gurading the house!" Me woked up and saw her there and me had to hang me head cause me had been busted. Sleeping on tha job. Me was worried hers would bust me down the ranks from House Dog First Class to House Dog in tha Dog House Class.

Hers didn't bust me down tha ranks. Nope not me Mommy. Hers gave me another chance today when hers and Daddy went out to run errands and me went to tha ottoman in tha living room and put me nose on tha window and watched for burglars just like a gurad dog should.

Pictures of Mommy's family

Mommy finally downloaded her pictures from her trip so now me can post some of me other dog family and human family in Virginia. Oh and Mommy promised that the next time hers goes back to Virginia hers is taking me and Daddy.

This is a picture of Mommy's human girl Tara and her little Rat Terrier Drew. Mommy says hims looks like an Aardvark cause of hims coloring and big ears. And hims wears clothes all the time too.









Here is Mr Drew again. Hims is 6 months old and only weighs about 4 pounds. Me thinks hims might be smaller than me friend Frogknot.











This Mommy holding that little Drew dog. Mommy says me wasn't that little when hers brought me home at 3 months old and this puppy is 6 months old. Her also said this is one sneaky little Rat Terrier. Hims would run up onto her lap and lay there and then reach up and nip her tummy. Me would never ever nip me Mommy!







This handsome old man is Max the Maxium Pup although Mommy says hims is no longer a puppy but an older gentleman of 11 which is 77 in dog year, but don't tell him he's a Senior Citizen. Max was Mommy's second Boxer. Her says we are marked the same except him is Boxer and something where me is Boxer and American Bulldog.






Mommy says there is more pictures but hers thinks these is enough for me to post. Me is going to get to meet Max and Drew the next time hers goes to VA. Me sure hopes thems likes me.

Welcome home Mommy

In case anybody was wondering, me has not had access to a computer for a week. Mommy wented on a bacation to Virginia to see her human children and left me at home with Daddy. She had tha door to her office closed so me couldn't get to tha computer in there. Daddy stays on hims computer all tha time so me couldn't use it either. Mommy got home today and me is able to use tha computer again. Me sure did miss Mommy too!!!

Mommy said hers had a really good time visiting with hers children and grandchildren. Hers took lots of pictures and says her will let me see them and help me post them her later this week. Me can't wait to see pictures of litte Drew the rat terrier and Max the boxer.

Murphy, who is so happy that hims Mommy is home

A very important week

This has been a very important week in the life of this not so little Boxer Puppy. Remember Mommy and Daddy lifted me alone and out of the crate on Sunday for all day and me didn't have any accidents or get into any trouble. Mommy and Daddy decided that maybe it was time to trust their Boxer boy and leave me out all day while thems went off to work. It has been a wonderful week of freedom for me. If Daddy gets tha chance hims comes home to let me outside for a little while and then hims goes back to work. Mommy says me has a very important job to do now that me is a big boy and that job is to guard the house while thems is away. Me takes this responsibility very very seriously too!!!!! When thems leaves the house them says "Murphy, guard the house" and me trots right over to me ottoman in front of the picture window and sits there looking out the window and watching for burglars. When thems comes home, there me is right where thems left me too.

Now don't think me just sits there all day. See being a bonifide guard dog means you has to patrol the house and that's what me does too. Me patrols the den and naps on the love seat, then me patrols the upstairs and if the bedroom door is open me will do in there and patrol and sometimes get up on the bed with Miss Pitty Pat and nap. Then it's back down to the living room to patrol some more from the sofa and another nap. After patrolling there for awhile me sometimes goes down to Daddy's office to patrol from the futon. See all this patrol is hard work and me has to take lots of naps.

Oh yeah me got some new clothes yesterday too. Mommy broughted me home a beautiful new black and orange flame collar that has "Harley Davidson" emblems on it. It's very nice and doesn't fall off me neck and head like me choke collar. Me likes it a lot.
