Just found a new favorite. I love it when his tongue is sticking out. Too bad I took it after I had already made the cards up.

outtakes
Sorry for being so lax about posting here. Haven't had much to report, and I guess Murray just hasn't been doing anything so cute that it warranted keeping you informed :)
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~~~

murray gets a hair cut
THE BEFORE:
THE AFTER:
If it weren't for the fact that Murray immediately tried to attack Oscar, like he always does, when we walked through the door after I picked him up from the groomers, I would've thought they gave me back the wrong dog. Even his coloring has changed. I miss my scruffy murray :(
The groomer said it may take a couple months to grow back in. I plan to be more diligent with his grooming in the future to avoid all the matting so that I don't have to go to the extreme of this haircut again.

Day 4 and still surviving
...at least, I am. Oscar might be another story.
Watching all 3 boys this week was a nutty undertaking, but we're managing and getting into a routine. I'm not particularly fond of the morning routine, though, as it seems to keep starting earlier and earlier. Once one of them is up, the other two are soon to follow, and when you have 2 little dogs walking all over your prone body, it's only a matter of time before your feet hit the floor.
One of the things that has been amusing me the most is catching Murray staring at himself in Mom's mirrored closet doors. He'll be sitting in bed real still, so I look over to see what he's up to, and he's just admiring himself in the mirror. One time, he sat on the floor in front of the mirror, and I stood behind him talking to him in the mirror. I walked to the right and he followed me, still staring into the mirror, and then he was totally confused when I all of a sudden disappeared from in front of him (my reflection was no longer in the mirror). He tried to find me behind the corner, but to no avail :)
Well, it's 6:40am, and we've been up for nearly 2 hours, mostly just lazing around in bed after a quick run outside. Murray's trying to engage his cousin Disco in some horse play, but he wants nothing to do with it. He just keeps stretching and yarning and giving me the occassional kiss. Oh darn, I spoke too soon. All hell's breaking loose. They all want to go out NOW!!! That's how it's been all this time, one minute all's calm and the next, there are 3 blurring bodies.
Well, I best go answer their call before they take over my keyboard. I'll report some more in future posts.
