Mr. Murphy
So my new "snottie" (half Scottish terrier/half Schnauzer) has this horrible habit. He constantly needs a bath. How can 7 lbs of trouble find so many horrible things to roll in.......?
So his first bath with us went well. The Man ponied up and dug in. Which was so very brave cause Murphy is walking calamity. I love this about him. It makes him a perfect fit for our family.
He is learning how to fetch, although he likes to bark and growl over it. He refuses to turn it over wihout a fight, and if he wins, he prances off with it. His crate is filled with toys.
He also likes to terriorize Duchess. While she adores him and seeks him out constantly, the instance he turns his attention to her, she runs for the nearest high ground. He totally has his bluff in on her.
Princess on the other hand, is the seasoned old pro. She takes her turn on "potty" breaks and is the first to pick him out a new toy.
The Man takes him everywhere on his off days. He refuses to leave him home alone. Even though he "looks like a wimp for carrying around a dog the size of a football".
But the best thing about Murphy? He loves the stupid yard sprinklers. And the dirt in the backyard. Mixed together. Seconds after this shot, he was off running through the side yard sprinklers and straight into the dirt. The little turd.
So back into the bath he had to go.........
Once again, The Man took the reins. Do you see him shaking his head......? Yeah he was not happy, but then again, neither was The Man.
Although he was pretty cute soaking wet, even though I wanted to bite him.
So all in all, the little guy is the perfect addition to our family. And as I type this, he has managed to wrestle the little toliet bowl cleaner brush into the livingroom............greeeeeaaaaat.......Labels: family smamily

New puppies are better than TV with premium cable. Hours of cheap fun.
You did move your shoes out of the chew zone right?
As I said before. This little guy is so cute. I could just eat him up. Thanks for telling us what he is.
He's gonna be so much fun!!!
I know exactly what you are going through... Just be happy h eis only 7lbs and not 12lbs and having 2 of them....
However he is so damn cute wet.
Funny.....we are going through some of the same things right now with our new pup too. Courtney gave her a bath the other night and she ran right down by the barn and rolled in the dirt (that had a little oil in it).....grrrr! They are sooooo much fun tho (check with me in a month, I might not think it is so much fun when the real chewing begins).
Loved the comment on my deer shot. Actually that picture isn't in my back yard. I could only wish for a backyard like that. That pic is from my trip to Chicago and that was on the outskirts of the city where my bro lives.
That's why YOU have a dog and we don't. Waaaay too much work for me.
Found a recipe you might like to try:
