Rosebel, Honey and Lilly have been with me since they were 6 weeks old. Murphy was Scott's dog since she was six weeks old. This past summer, when we started dating, Murphy started staying with me a lot when Scott traveled. I just hated the thought of her being in a kennel when she could be with us. She has quickly and easily become one of my brood because I have had so much interaction with her, especially since I work from a home office and she is here all day with me. She is definitely less trouble than the others!!! LOL!!!

Please, please, don't feel badly about not knowing about her. Scott and I have only been married for six weeks now and I am just now remembering to put her name in my responses and signatures. Yesterday, Scott said something about "his dog" and his responsibility to pay for her surgery. "HOGWASH", I said, and let him know quickly that she is "our" dog. I've been loving her for almost 7 months now and consider her mine. I know he doesn't want to claim Butter, our cat, but he considers the others "his" too.
