Thinking About Murphy

It's still true that a day does not go by when I don't think about Murphy.  While the pup is taking up a lot of time and energy, I spend time every day feeling Murphy in my heart.  She was an extraordinary dog.  I am so grateful that she was able to guide Sage, and that some of Murph is now being pawed-down to Annie.

But more importantly, it's the time I had with Murphy that touches me every day.  Yesterday I had lunch with an old friend, and I was telling her about the last year with Murphy, how I would feed her, hold her, encourage her on walks, play with her.  My throat tightened just talking about her.  She occupied a lot of my geography.

Murphy's day.
