Blue Ridge Mountains

Well we went on our Fall vacation and I had a blast. I chased my sister all over the place.

Here's a few pictures from our trip. Since it's been awhile since I have blogged - I'm the cute one. :)

Their first AKC Sanctioned Match

Murphy Brown and her boyfriends brother, Marlin, went to their first AKC match.

Murph won 4th place in Rally Novice B.

Marlin got his puppy CGC and won a few ribbons in puppy conformation.

It was an outdoor event and it was very hot.

The Great Pumpkin _ Charlie Brown

Lucy Van Pelt ... A person should pick a costume that contrasts her own personality.

Oktoberfest

We had a great weekend.

On Saturday I went to Orlando with my mommy and got my first leg towards my RN title.

This was my first time in the competition world and my mom said I did really good.

On Sunday I rested and Sully went to Orlando. She came home with tons of stuff.

She won first place and got her RN title. ( and a pink stuffed pink that I recently destroyed ).

My boyfriend Bogey also got his RN title.

All in all we had a fantastic time.

There's nothing better than spending the day with someone who thinks you hung the moon.

College Football Season Has Arrived !

Everyone show your team spirit !!!

Sully is supposedly a Noles fan but since daddy-o is asleep we slipped a Bama jersey on her. :)

Wishing everyone a fantastic season !

Murphy Brown

We love the mail man !

A package for us !

What's all the fuss about ?

My sister Sully has been going somewhere with my mommy for the past two mornings and when they get back Sully has a new toy, a yellow 3rd place rosette and the smell of chicken on her breath. I am suspicious.

Picking up where your dog left off

I cannot believe that our mom is putting the burden on us to carry our bags.

She got these in the mail today. We'll be so ashamed in front of our friends.

Our Ride

My mom ordered some magnets for the car. Sully's magnet is a boy dog - hehe haha.

We're in trouble now....

Our mom took a Pet First Aid and CPR class... I'm sure she will want to practice all that she learned on us.

Happy Birthday Murphy Brown !

Today is my first birthday. Yesterday, I had an amazing pool party with a few friends. I mostly supervised while my sister Sully showed everyone how to swim.
Here's a few pictures that Bogey's mom took.

Murphy Brown 11 months old

The sweetest girl on the planet.

Sully at McFarland Park

Bogey's mom took our pictures this weekend.

Growing Up

We went for our monthly manicure/pedicures today and we also got weighed.
I weigh 53.8 and my sister Sully weighs 64.6
Looks like I'm almost grown up.

Sully Graduates Rally Fundamentals

Sully graduated from Rally Fundamentals last night. She passed the test so she is moving on to Rally Novice.

Our New Toy

Weave polls.

Unbelievable

I don't know what happened. Something came over me and made me chew up a rug. I was caught in the act by my daddy-o. I had been alone for 30 minutes. He took this picture of me and emailed it to my mommy at work. She told me she was disappointed. Apparently I walk on water so this was a huge shocker. I'm trying to redeem myself. I'm pretty sure that Sully told me to do it but I can't prove it.

Finally.. My Tongue Spots

My boyfriends mom took this picture of me being silly.
The next sentence is from my daddy-o Fisher's website so it looks like I'm a daddys girl. Description of Fisher - He has excellent pigment, including black gums, palate and tongue spots.

Easter Bunnies ?

A pre-easter photo shoot... Welcome to SPRING !

Fun Zone Video

Here's a video of my fun zone run with Sully. We had a blast. It was taken with an iphone so you might have to view it with Quicktime. My grandmother had to download a free copy of Quicktime to see me and Sully in action.

Sully jumping

This was taken by our friend Jewel... Sully has moves for an old lady. ;)

A FANTASTIC day for dogs...

We went to the SPCA fundraiser and got to play in the Doggie Fun Zone with several of our friends. These were taken by our friend Jewel.

Murphy and Bogey sitting in a tree....

I think we all know the song... Murphy met a boy in school. Today was their first official date.

Basic Obedience Graduation Feb 24th

Fun in the Sun

My sister was trying to take a nap in the sun.

I don't believe in napping outside. ;)

Seaside Sully

Here's an old picture of Sully when she was a young pup like me. She is in the ocean with her friend Tia.

Valentine's Day Dance

My instructor in dog school said I need to socialize more with other dogs. So in true Murphy Brown fashion I had a date for Valentine's Day. Not one - but two boys . Yes, I invited myself but I'm a forward kind of girl. I don't wait for boys. Anyway, here's a pic of me and the one they call Bandit. He showed me his teeth a few times but I took that as a sign that he is in love with me.

And the day was done....

Here's our final celebration photo. I hope we get more of this ice cream stuff. It made me run wildly through the house.

I Scream for Ice Cream

Holy Smokes !!! I love ice cream. It made me crazy wild. Saturday night we had doggie ice cream for Sully's birthday. From the pics below you can tell me made me crazy.

Party On....

What a great day.. After a small nap we woke up to boiled egg birthday cakes.. Yay for birthdays !

Happy Birthday Sully !

Wow... Happy Birthday are words to remember. This morning we woke up and had the best surprise ever... Pumpkin Cupcakes... YUMMY ! I'm attaching a picture of the moment before I devoured my first ever cupcake. Ever since I've been trying to find more of them. Where do they keep this kind of stuff ? My mommy says they are healthy but I say they are furtastic !

For anybody that needs the recipe just let me know. They are made with a can of organic pumpkin instead of eggs, oil, etc... Yep, I'm a healthy dog. Anyway, this is only the beginning of birthday day celebrations so I better go take a nap in order to be rested for the doggie ice cream later...

STAND by your man ( or your sister )

Here's the STAND command. I try to include my sister in the training sessions. It makes her feel good to show me up. She's been doing this stuff for 7 years so she ought to be good at it. Speaking of my sister..her birthday is Saturday. I'm guessing that means a good time for little ole me.

Downward Dog

Just showing off a few of my dog school tricks..

I learned the down command. I'll try to post some more of my new moves later on.

Love is in the air...

Today at lunch we were forced to do a Valentine's Day photo shoot. By forced I mean we were offered snacks and we couldn't resist. You might can tell from the one picture of me sitting on the couch that I like to be the main focus of all pictures and any moment.

Final Inspection

My mommy says " Yay, we finally got a new kitchen table ". The furniture guys asked us to look it over to make sure it's ok.

We were the final inspection. Approved !

And.. I'm hoping the baskets near the bottom of the table will be filled with snacks for me. ;)

Neighborhood Watch

The residents of Cathedral Pines can rest easy knowing these two fine watchdogs are keeping an eye on the streets...

I hate Mondays....

I'm back in lock up on Mondays and my mommy leaves me for a couple of hours. Yes, she comes home at lunch to play with me and give me snacks but I would prefer 24/7 attention.

Now that I'm law school we do a few commands at lunch. Today we went back to the classic wait on a snack photo shoot command. I'm finally looking as tall and as riegel as my sister Sully.

Lounging

There's not too many pictures of me just laying around so I finally decided to post one. This was actually an attempt to get a picture of my tongue but my mom ended up with this sweet pose. I have a black spot (aka tattoo) on my tongue like my birth parents Dixie and Fisher. My mom said she was told that many people believe it is a sign of great pigment. I don't know what any of this means but apparently everything about me is adorable to my mommy.

Top Student

Well my first night at dog school proved to be very exciting. The teacher even commented on my excellent focus and attention to my mommy. She obviously doesn't know how much time we spend together and how many photos I have in my portfolio. ;) I had a great time and was a quick learner. This week I'm practicing how to sit , the let's go command , and the jazz me up and settle me down. Of course from my pictures we all know that I learned the sit command when I was a baby. I'll keep you posted.

Headed to Dog School

My mom said we better take a few first day of school pictures because one day I might be a super dog and people would want to see me throughout the years. I go along with it because she is convinced I am one special little girl. The up close shot I like to call "the face of a champion". ;) Wish me luck...
