I have been busy with my new job, which I love, but getting used to a straight 8-hour day is taking me longer than I thought. I'm tired by the time I sit down for dinner every night now, and I'm not sure why. It's not like I'm so stressed at work, because heck, they've hardly given me enough work yet to fill 6 hours, let alone 8. Maybe that's why; I'm just twiddling my thumbs too much...lol.
As for Murray, he isn't too happy about my 8 hour days, as evidenced by all the stuffing he's taken out of his pillow and then the new bed that replaced it. And I've even been stopping by during lunchtime most days. I've noticed, though, that he seems to do fine during the morning. It's just after I leave him to go back to work after lunch that he gets destructive. So, on Friday, I'm not gonna stop home at lunch to see if he'd be better off without me stopping in halfway through my shift.
We finally had our first snow yesterday, and Murray was in his glory. I had a feeling he'd love it. He was zooming around in it, he loved it so much. My old dog was the same way. I wonder why it has that effect on dogs.
I took a whole bunch of pictures of Murray the other day, hoping that I could use one of them for a Christmas Card and to post here once it got closer to the 25th. The poor dog...I must've taken about 50 pictures...lol. Giving him treats of pieces of his regular food helped. Well, I don't want to ruin the surprise of seeing his gorgeous Christmas mug, but here are some outtakes from our photo shoot:
I actually kinda like that first one, because it makes it seem as though Murray and Santa are up to no good. If only Santa knew that he couldn't trust his partner not to tear him to shreds when no one was looking :P~~~

Hey, Lady!
Glad to see a new posting...having a full time job does limit amount of time you can spend doing creative writing about Murray.
What is your new job...sounds like it is close to your house as you were able to check on the "child" at lunch time.
I am sure you were able to capture a great picture for the Christmas card...will look for it soon.
Well at least texasgal will be happy now:)
amelia,
Thanks, nice to be back posting too.
My new job is in the administrative field at a large corporation, and it's only about a 20 minute ride from home, so if necessary, I can run home at lunch for Murray's sake. Though, I really have to gobble my food down if I want to be back to work on-time.
jimmy's mom,
I spoke to her on the phone today, and she is :)
The more the dog runs the less timehis feet are on the ground to freeze
walker,
That almost sounds like one of those quotes they put underneath Snapple caps :)
I'm sure that's an accurate statement, but what brings on the transformation from a sedate dog to one who is so gleeful, you can almost see his smile?
Yes I am happy to see the posting:) I am just really confused on who this Walker person is. It's sort of freaking me out. hahahaha
texasgal,
Walker is a friend of mine...and if you read some of his posts, you'd be even more freaked out...lol.
