Pedigree

When my friend Mary called to tell me about Annie, she said: "Annie has some of Murphy's pedigree."  It turns out, both Sage and Annie do, but Murphy's sire, or Dad, Houston, is part of both of their pedigree.

From what I understand about Houston, he was a Champion Hunter.  Indeed, Murphy had that retrieving energy and drive.  If I'd hunted ducks, I would be sitting pretty at my fly tying bench, more feathers than I would know how to use.

Sage doesn't care about retrieving, she cares about accumulating, perhaps reflective of her Dam or mother.  Life of luxury that girl.

Annie?  Well, it's not too early to tell, but did either of her parents have clown in their pedigree?

Murphy's Day.
