Meet my boyfriend, Murphy the dog!




Murphy came into my life the summer of 2003. Gradually I nursed him from 'baby Murphy' to 'Murphy' (Mum keeps telling me he was never a baby, he was a puppy - I tend to disagree). Despite the fact that he thinks he's a human & seems to think I'm his friend, not his owner/boss, I couldn't be happier with our relationship.

Apparently, dogs are like their human owners. My seven-year old Maltese poodle Murphy and I are similar in the following ways:

- We were both born in the first week of October

- we both like to be lazy and waste an afternoon sitting on the ducted heater

- We both probably have COPD (Chronic, Obstructive, Pulmonary, Disorder)…it’s a lung/bronchitis thing. Murphy baby has been coughing all the time & now has to wear a harness on his walks so he doesn’t choke himself when he runs ahead.

- We’re both scared of big dogs

- We’re both neurotic & obsessive & like to know where everyone is at any given time

…MY DOG IS THE LOVE OF MY LYF, Y’ALL
