Murphy at the Beach

Today, Murphy and I went to his favorite beach in Tahoe. He wants me to throw the ball. Not yet, I have to get some pictures first.

Throw it! Throw it!

It was such a nice day and fresh snow on the ground, I could not help but take a couple more pictures. Although Murphy is starting to get annoyed with me.

THROW IT!

Okay I'll throw it now. But you gotta swim for it! Murphy has no problem with swimming, even in the Winter, he just doesn't care. He's got to have that ball!



He's a pretty good fetcher!

Suddenly, out of no where, dogs started showing up by the two's and three's. Murphy was STOKED! We went on a short walk with Dog Walker Megan and her play group for the day. Murphy had fun. I got to hear about her recent divorce. Not so fun.



So long to Tahoe for now, be back soon!

Later that same day, I was drinking a beer with the neighbor, and a new friend came over to play ball with Murphy.

It was a little cold and snowy, but they didn't care. Here's Murphy and and the unknown dog bringing me the ball.

Now if I could only get them to drop, it I'd throw it again. Neither one of them can get this right!

Ouhhh, if you drop it, I'll take it! C'mon, drop it, I'll get it......

No Way, MY BALL!

Well, he wouldn't drop it, so I had to pry it from his mouth. Good thing I was wearing work gloves! Ewwww. Slobber!
Okay, I'll Chuckit now. What? You don't know what a chuckit is? WOW, I thought every dog knew about chuckit. Better go, Murphy is going to get the ball.....


Oh, he did, good Murphy! Bring the ball! Murphy likes his new friend. Sure wish I knew that dog's name......

Feburary Snow - Finally!!!!!

So Me and Murphy went up to Tahoe today to check out the new snow. No chain controls over the summit...sweet!!!

We had to measure how much snow had fallen, so Murphy suggested using his ball and chuckit. How could I refuse?


Okay Murphy, how much snow is there? Can you estimate? Looks like about 15 inches to me......

Wait, is that my ball in the snow???? I want it!!! Gimmee!!! Ohhh, I have to get it!!!

YEAH, I GOT IT!!!!!!

Murphy is not all that into measuring the snow fall.......
