Riley & Murphy: Smitten with Mittens

Due to the cold weather, Kylee and I have been bundling up a lot more. This has included the addition of mittens for both of us. This has brought out a whole new obsession for Murphy: smitten for mittens. As soon as he sees one, he can barely contain himself. It just has to be something about biting into that soft warm fleece.
Riley has shown a little interest, but mainly just curiosity of what has gotten Murphy so head over paws. From the few times he has sniffed them out, nothing too incredible.
Murphy has gotten pretty good at being reminded to leave them, but if you take your eye off of him for more than a second you can guarantee you are going to be missing at least one mitten.
An advantage to this new obsession is that he has excellent lost shoe and mitten radar. Thanks to him I have been spared having to backtrack for Kylee's fallen shoe and mitten. (Just yesterday he saved Kylee's fallen mitten that I had no idea of until I saw him carrying it to the house.) Thank you Murphy.

P.S. Today we had our first day that we returned from our walk with all four hands still covered by their mittens. This is encouraging!

    "Smitten with mittens" is the perfect way to describe Murphy's obsession! His obsession also applies to socks. Putting on shoes is always a battle, because Murphy is right there trying to steal the socks off your feet:)

    I noticed the sock obsession yesterday. He stole one from your office and brought it down stairs to go on our walk. That is why there is a mysterious sock sitting on your table by the door. He also has a thing for Kylee's new hat. He loves to sniff and lick it while it is on Kylee's head. It sets her into a fit of giggles.
