I didn't really know about Murphy either and I felt so aweful,
like "where the heck had I been to not know this"

Murphy is a beauty isn't she? I love senior dogs. They have
so much grace & character about them. We'll all be praying
for Murphy's surgery to be a complete success this Monday,
and that she has a wonderful birthday celebration Friday. Liz.

All this means is that I didn't do a good enough job of introducing her and that's my fault!!! I have loved her since I laid eyes on her and that was 3 days after I met her dad. It didn't take long for me to lure her in..............maybe that's how I ended up with her dad!!! LOL!!!

Logan, I deeply hope that the most beautiful Murphy girl will be OK. She is absolutely precious. Such could not be any more kind and loving looking.

Please know that I am thinking about you all and wishing that sweet senior lady a quick recovery and many more years on this earth.

Love,
Leslie, Graham, Kersey & Minion

Prayers still full force for the beautiful Murphy!!!

Logan, I'm sure you taking Murphy in had something to do with Scott falling in love with you! Once he saw your heart of GOLD how could he not fall head over heals in love with you?? I'm glad you posted her picture. It is wonderful being able to put a face to the name when you pray!

Please make sure you keep us posted and don't forget to have lots of Frosty Paws around for the very special birthday of this wonderful girl next week!

A change of heart........

Scott and I talked a lot in bed last night and again this morning. Our furnace is out and we had lots of "pillow time"!!!! It was the only way to stay warm!!! Anyway, we talked and I started wondering about getting a second opinion from my vet, who I trust completely. Murphy has been going to a different veterinarian for years, and they adore her there, but it isn't "my vet". Scott is in agreement with me, so today, I cancelled the surgery for Monday and instead, we are taking Murphy to see Dr. Robinson on Monday afternoon. Dr. Robinson is just so fair and probably hurts himself by being so fair, but I do trust him and I think it won't hurt just to get his opinion before jumping off into this surgery. Only the BEST for our Murphy girl. We will know what direction we're going to take by Monday afternoon.

In the meantime, she is fine and comfortable, even if I am not, since it is so cold in this house!!! My fingers are freezing!!!! Help is on the way, hopefully, in the form of a HVAC expert, this afternoon. Hopefully they can install a new unit today or tomorrow.

I think you are doing the right thing! Surgery is very invasive and anytime you put them under it's a risk. Especially the senior dogs! Perhaps your vet will be able to give you another option but if not atleast you know two vets are in agreement!!

Hope you get warmth soon!!

[Sudilar]

Sending you all a warm hug!!
Hope the furnace man gets there quickly!

Good luck on the second opinion. It is always good to get another opinion of a vet you trust. Hope he will have some good news.

You will be in my prayers.

We'll be anxiously awaiting Dr. Robinson's report. I know you'll do whatever is best for the beautiful Murphy girl. Hope you're doing lots of cuddling and snuggling, helping to keep your Mom warm this cold and heatless day/night, Murphy! Lots of hugs and kisses to you sweetie!

[Logan]

Thank you, again. I truly believe that we will feel better after getting Dr. R's ideas on the whole situation. I was up with Murphy a great deal of last night, as was Scott (after I woke him ). She was just not comfortable. I worried about the temp in the house as it was so cold, but our bedroom was heated with an electric heater, so it wasn't as bad.

Anyway, she is favoring the right ear. You can tell it when she walks, the way she holds her head, etc. We are giving her tons of TLC and waiting anxiously for 4:30 on Monday, so Dr R can check her out completely.

Prayers are appreciated. We're saying our share, for sure!!

Logan,

Prayers will continue for Murphy.Maybe some of her discomfort
is due to the cold.(?) I know my bones really ache (arthritis)
when the weather turns very cold. Is Murphy on any antibiotic
or pain medicine in the meantime? Hope she's feeling better
soon & Monday brings better news for her.

Prayers for Murphy ...... Dr Robinson will be great I am certain. Great idea to get a 2nd opinion. Keep us posted ...

Prayers for you too .......... get that furnace going!!! Although, pillow time is nice too sometimes

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

Logan, Murphy is in my thoughts. I am anxiously awaiting Dr. R's ideas on this.

Hope your house is warmer today!
