Time to Vote

First off, a little Murphy update. Apparently he sensed we almost brought home a new dog last week so he is now running around like a crazy dog, playing, eating everything in sight, and just be plain silly. It is almost like he is saying "I'm not dead yet".

However, he does have this one problem. He has a bump on his upper thigh that he keeps licking and therefore is now bald in the diameter about 1 inch all the way around. He has does this before on his back, but I can put a shirt on him and he forgets about it. It heals and the hair grows back. However, a shirt doesn't help with the upper thigh.

I shopped for dog pants and OMG! I am not paying $45.00 for a pair of sweats for a dog. So I went to WalMart and bought a 12M pair of thin sweats, Cut down the back seam most of the way to the crotch, hand sewed a couple of pieces of velcro on the band and voila!





There is room for his tail and they are easy to put on and off. And best of all he doesn't mind. They don't interfere with going up and down stairs or jumping on the bed or being overall silly.


So I went back tonight and bought four more pair. We are thinking of adding some bling - maybe a large clock, cadillac emblem, etc.

The dilemma now is only what his new name will be. You vote:

I like this vote. No matter which name wins, I won't be disappointed. The national election should as easy.

I like the photos, especially the stairs.
