To Murphy's mom: What a loving Tribute you wrote about your Murphy. Indeed he was a beautiful handsome boy, so sleek and shiny. In the article he sounds so intelligent and sweet and curious.

I am so sorry he did not have a long life but I'm positive you gave him the best life he could have had anywhere, full of love and caring. I believe you will see him again one day. I also find it remarkable that your future Boxer pup is a relative of Murphy; it seems destined, doesn't it?

We all know the pain and loss of losing a beloved pet/friend but I know you will have room in your heart for the new pup and he will be treasured. Please come back and post photos on Pet Talk when you get the little feller. I'm sure he will be adorable. Thank you for sharing Murphy with us. Indeed he deserves to be DOTD!
