Murphy: Once There was A Snowdog....

Kylee’s and my mission today was to wear out Murphy as much as we could in 30 minutes. His dad was home from work and had to take it easy after some surgery. We tried hard, and I think we at least got some of his energy out. (I know I was huffing and puffing at the end.)

Murphy has loved the snow. He loves to sniff everything in it, eat it, and most importantly, play in it. It was so cute watching him take off with a stick so much larger than him and try to run around with it. He will look at you with taunting eyes and then try to take off before you can catch him. Kylee made a joint effort with Murphy in inspecting some of the fallen branches thoroughly. Kylee would talk about the branch while Murphy made sure to break down the evidence for those that would follow behind us on walks.

One of Murphy’s favorite activities for the day was chasing the snow I would kick up and trying to catch the snowballs that I would throw. He seemed so confused when he could not find the snowball I threw in all of that snow on the ground. He however found the one when it was thrown and stuck to a fence.
