Murphy had been abused before he came to me, and is still a little shy with new people, so I delivered him to his new home to make his adjustment a little easier. He remembered them and Boo, so he settled down pretty soon after arriving. I really enjoyed watching both dogs running around the yard together. They were both so bouncy, happy, and excited, I felt all warm and fuzzy inside and even got a lump in my throat.
Poor Murphy has been at my house a whole year! When he first came here he was afraid of everything and everybody, including me. It took a long time, but he finally started coming out of his shell. Then when I started training him, I discovered a VERY intelligent dog. One who loved to please, totally enjoyed learning new stuff, had a big heart with lots of love to give, and loyalty. He has been posted on our site for months, but there weren't many applications filled out for him, or offers just fell through for one reason or another. I just kept telling him "That's ok Murphy, somewhere out there are the perfect people who are meant to have you, they just don't know it yet. When they see you, they will know that you were meant for them and then you'll be home." And viola, along came Jennifer and Ben!!!!
So, even though I miss him terribly already, I am also jumping for joy cause Murphy is finally home. Jenny and Ben promised they would send pictures of both thier fur-kids so we can see how happy everyone is. We never get tired of updates so keep them coming.
Thank you again Jennifer and Ben, for looking to a rescue group for both your kids. You saved two lives, and you will be rewarded with twice the love - from each of them. No, I don't mean that Murphy would have been put down - wash my mouth out with soap for even typing that - but because of adopters like you rescue groups are able to place stray dogs thus saving thier lives.
