Can you Believe that (63 of 33)

Sari took Murphy to the "doggie resort" as they like to call it these days (otherwise known as the kennel) because all our usual dog sitters are going to be away this year. This has caused a little bit of stress because, as some of you know, Murphy isn't exactly the friendliest dog on the planet - at least with strangers - so we have been wondering how he was going to do.

When Sari got home, I asked her a pile of questions.....

"How did it go?"

"Good"

"Did he bark or growl at anyone?"

"Nope!"

"Not at all?"

"No! There was another dog there and he played with it a bit and then just went and got in the kennel - no big deal"

"Really?"

"Yep! Why are you asking me so many questions about this?"

"Well, you know Murphy. He barks at everything"

"Well, that is just around here when he thinks has to protect the yard"

"Really?"

"Oh ya! He is just a grouch at home - out in public he is happy and as nice as can be"

To which Katelyn yells from the other room, "He is just like you, Dad!"

Can you believe that? I think that she is lucky that we had "early Christmas" today - she may have had a few less presents if it were tomorrow! :)
