July, 2003... we went to the pet store to buy a couple tiny little Neon Tetra's for the aquarium, and ended up finding the most lovable English Springer Spaniel. We brought him home and named him Murphy. So far it looks like Murphy is Phil's puppy ....

One week.... and Murphy is growing like a weed... But he's still his Daddy's dog...

And Maggie, my chocolate lab, is beginning to get used to him...

Murphy goes camping ! and they say camping is hard work ~ not for these guys!

Murphy seems to enjoy books as much as Gretchen, but usually he's CHEWING on them!

Murphy recently had a visit from his Las Vegas cousin, Brutus!
They taught each other all sorts of "tricks".
Here they are looking innocent!
