Murphy is our dog member of the family. He is fourteen years old (98 in human years). He has been such a great dog. He always has a friendly wag of his tail for us. He has never been onery or moody and he is always so glad to see us. The past few months he has really slowed down and showed his age. In December we could tell he wasn't feeling normal so we took him to the vet to see what was wrong. We found that he has diabetes. Now every day, twice a day, Tristan has to give him an insulin shot. He is doing a lot better, but he is really an old dog and we are so sad to realize his time with us won't be too much longer.
We had to spend Tuesday night and Wednesday in Salt Lake for business meetings. We used to leave him home with the neighbor kids to tend him, but since he has to have shots, we found a place to board him. I picked him up this morning. He was so glad to be home that for the first hour he actually ran around and jumped up and down just like he used to. It was fun to see him so happy to be home. He finally wore himself out (didn't take too long) and plopped himself down by me in the laundry room on a basket of old towels. Normally, I wouldn't let him sit on them, but I guess we have to celebrate that he is back home!
Here's to you, Murphy. You are the best!
Nice! I just can't believe that he was able to get up there (on that pile of towels). I am glad he survived the "boarding house".
