![]() MURPHY
Jan 2004 update: After being in foster care since August of 2003, Murphy finally found a home and family with a heart as big as hers. Beth and Bob in AZ saw a post about Murphy on VTalk and contacted us. They offered her a retirement home and we arranged to meet them in So. UT. So on 1/25/04 Murphy joined another V girl and a GWP as the "senior" of the house. Her new family reports that she is just fascinated by the cat and wants to play. Murphy might be the incentive to get a doggie door as she tries to let them know she has to go out by sticking her head through the cat door. Her new family agrees with us that we just cannot imagine her family knowing that she was in the shelter and not claiming her -- but they did know and decided not to go get her. She has been deemed by some of her new AZ friends to be "a cutie-patootie"!
March 2004: Beth writes: Here are some photos of Murphy. She's gaining weight and becoming more vizsla-esque every day. (Translation: more demanding of affection, lap time, petting, cuddles, etc!) What a joy!
April 2004: Murphy became suddenly ill this weekend and passed away with her family at her side. It is a sad day in AZ to have lost her only after 3 months of loving her and her silly ways. Murphy made herself right at home and loved to play with her human and doggie family. Her foster family in UT, the Clark's, will always smile as they remember her dance for food and her wonderful smiling grace.
