Any dog can get squeaky toys and rawhide chews from Santa. But this one...he wanted a name. So henceforth, the Dog Who Resisted Being Named shall now be known as: Audie Murphy, or "Murphy" for short.
Like his distinguished namesake, he's intelligent and resourceful, but also calm, cool and quiet. He stands tall and responds decisively when challenged, but he also has a touch of roguishness about him at times that only adds to his charm. Even though he started out with a bad hand early in life, he's clearly a diamond in the rough that I expect great things from.
So Murphy it is.
Merry Christmas Murphy!
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see how well Murphy develops over the next few years, as he benefits from a stable environment and develops bonds that only time can cement.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you both.
Merry Christmas, Murph! Those are some rather large pawprints to fit into. And a Merry to Me, too!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. :) Great name.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and Merry Christmas Murphy!
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, don't forget the famous Law he's also named after. *grins*

That was NOT the Murphy association I was thinking of, but it'll work :-)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Murphy - go hang out with the Boss and wish him a very merry for me as well.
ReplyDelete"Murphy" was a good cop in his rebirth as Robocop.
ReplyDeleteTell him he's wearing a proud name.
