    I have had the best news!

    I have just had the best news.

    I posted earlier last year that my dear niece and her husband had lost their beloved Bella to cancer. Bella was a pit bull.
    The loss had left my niece totally distraught. Bella was only three years old and my niece had had her since she was a tiny puppy.

    I just had a phone call from my niece and she has has just rescued a wonderful dog.

    Murphy is one year old. Murphy is a mix between a chocolate lab, pointer and get this.........Great Dane. Murphy at one year old can put his nose easily on the kitchen counter. He weighs 85 pounds at one year.

    She said that his paws make Bella look like a chihauhua.

    The pound gave Murphy (he was formerly known as Beau), a bad rap. Said he is really destructive......not house trained, doesn't follow commands.

    My niece and her husband have jumped right on that and she has not had one ounce of trouble from Murphy since their adoption on Friday. They have taken Murph for long long hikes and good walks. I think they are just tuckering him out! He will not leave my niece's side........and wants on her lap all of the time.

    Murphy! Welcome to the family.........you don't realize it yet, but you now HAVE IT MADE!!

    I have to go shopping now, to buy my new "nephew" some toys and treats!

    No pictures yet - they are being developed.

    I remember the sad news of Bella's passing, and am glad to hear you have a new nephew!! How great that your niece picked a dog that seemed many would have passed by...I'm sure he will be a great dog for them!

    Logan, I thought the name Murphy might get your attention.

    I absolutely love the name. Doesn't "Beau" sound awful for a dog of that size?

    Murphy - perfect name for a perfect dog.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Miss Gini, Miss Gini......OMD!!!!! I'm so sorry I didn't see this until now. I've been working all weekend and just got home and read your email. I'm so happy for your niece...but don't you know that exciting announcements like this MUST be following immediately with pictures???

    Welcome to Pet Talk sweet Murphy. You've got one wonderful and loving furrever home now!!!
    Psssstttt...maybe you can convince your new Mommy to join Pet Talk so we can always keep updated on your progress!

    Hannah is in awe of long legs which make counter surfing so much easier. Murphy won't have to stretch and paw reach like she has to.

    Congratulations to your niece, Gini. Sounds like Murphy is well on his way to doing some needed heart healing.
