Happy Birthday at the Rainbow Bridge, Murphy.

Wow. The last time we posted was right before moving back to Ft. Myers. There's so much to say, and I don't know where to start.

Murphy went to the Rainbow Bridge on March 4, 2016. Today would have been his 11th birthday. One day, I'll write about saying goodbye, but today is not that day. Here are some birthday pictures throughout the years.

For some reason, I'm not sure if any pictures of his 1st birthday exist, but there were doggy friends, a peanut butter cake, and lots of excitement. Followed by diarrhea.

Murphy's 2nd Birthday! Maddy is 18 months, minus a day younger, so we celebrate birthdays and half-birthdays every six months. Puppy Maddy is celebrating her first half-birthday!

8th Birthday! August 9, 2013

The Bassets are not big fans of the hats, but I love them.

Birthday cupcakes from Two Girls and a Beagle- they were great!

9th Birthday- August 9, 2014 So handsome.

10th Birthday! HOORAY! August 9, 2015

Murphy was very excited about the PupPie. After all he's been through, I always said I would be so happy if Murphy made it to 10, and he did it. 

Murphy, Mama loves and misses you so much. Happy Birthday up in heaven. Thank you for visiting in my dreams this morning, and for sending Farley to keep me company until we see each other again. 

Last day in the house!

Murphy here. I am sad. It's our last day in Tampa. We've had a good time here. 

Maddy is trying to drive Mama crazy! First she ate half a pizza last night while friends were helping. 

This morning, she already got into the fridge and stole a can of tuna and OPENED IT HERSELF. 

How is she not bleeding all over the place?

I just wanted some quiet time on the loveseat with my mama. 

And then... We hear Maddy banging around...

She was eating kitty crunchies again! The evidence is on her nose and ears. 

I'm sure she will do something else before the day is over, or before noon, even. Maddy is a bad dog. Have a great day!

New Yearzzzzz

We had a great first day of 2016! Mama got home from Ubering just in time to watch the ball drop with us!

She went to see that Star Wars movie again this morning, this time without six other movies in front of it. Then we helped her find stuff to sell and donate as we get ready to move. We are donating FOUR garbage bags of bedding, collars, bandanas, and toys to dogs less fortunate than us. Hopefully that helps them find great furever homes!

Mama left to go donate her clothes- we HATE when she leaves. Once a day is ok, but two, or even THREE times? Not cool! 

I guess these were made for cats but who knows? Maybe they put a cat on the front to get dogs' attention. Well, it worked. We ate over 50 calming treats! Yum!

Mama was a little worried when she got home, but everything is chill, guys...

 

We did find the strength to make it up onto the bed. Ahhhhhh, bed....zzzzz.....

Good night and Happy New Year!
