Emily's New Dog


Emily has adopted her new dog - Murphy. He comes from the Franklin County Animal Shelter, where he was serving his second (and hopefully last) sentance. The shelter is packed full of dogs who all go crazy when they think someone is going to let them out of the cage. Murphy seemed a little calmer than most.

Murphy is about two and half years old and he's a mixed breed. We think he definately has German Shepherd in him and his face resembles a Beegle. Emily imagines that he even has Retriever, Chiwawa and Greyhound in him. He is very active, very friendly and very people oriented. He seems to really crave people attention, especially compared to Lina, who is quite independant.

Murphy has adjusted well to our home. He's still learning our rules and I think he is still a little anxious and out of sorts being in a new setting. He and Lina play a lot, but in very good ways. He is crate trained and housebroken. Mostly he is very sweet and wanting your attention.
