Thank you all for your opinions and the link to the Springer Rage link!!!

Clara - He will only be in the pen at night and when no one is there. He goes to work with her everday now (and has for almost a year now) and stays in her office with her as he would once he's "moved" there full time. Her boss is offering to make him an outdoor pen only for potty and play. He will not be in a pen 24/7. But it still isn't going to be good for him to be alone everynight and most of the weekends. She's just trying everything so she doesn't feel like she didn't try. I'm sure it won't be long after he's moved in before she starts seeing that living there is not the answer.

ChrisH - You sound like the person that we've been looking for to take him! Someone that would know and would be willing to handle him with kid goves! I'll ship Murphy to you right away!!! He's great with other dogs and he loves to play!
