I have been stalking Murphy for days, trying to catch him doing this. He has discovered that the edge of the bedframe is the perfect tool to scratch that unreachable spot in the middle of his back. He does this a few times a day now.
And boy, he enjoys it.
Okay, I'll admit that, before today, I'd never seen the point of little teeny dogs. I mean, if you want small, get a cat! Or a big Man Dog! A dog that could survive being stepped on!
ReplyDeleteI may be sold. Haaaaa. Murphy, he is adorable, though I feel like I've walked in on something...quite personal. So cute.

I know, the noises he's making sound...private. But I swear he's just rubbing his back on the bedrail. This has replaced rolling on his back, this really hits the spot.
ReplyDeleteI never had a dog this small before this one, and it's totally true that they are big dogs in small, portable packages, and so full of personality.
Great video-I am sold on smaller dogs- such big personalities.
ReplyDeleteI love your crochet hexagons. I've been looking for one that does not look like a granny square. Would you mind sharing where you found the pattern?
Thanks!

It's very basic and is probably in any good stitch dictionary, but I spotted it in The Crochet Stitch Bible, by Betty Barnden. I agree about the big personalities - before I had Murphy I used to roll my eyes at people who treated these little dogs like humans. After you live with one you find yourself doing it too. I do know he's a dog and I do not treat him like a person, but he does have a lot of weirdly human traits that our golden retriever, smart as he was, didn't have.
ReplyDeleteIs it really wrong of me that I want to make the sound from that a ringtone?
ReplyDeleteThat's hysterical.
That was a more subdued than usual session. And that is the sound I wake up to lately. I wish I'd gotten the really deep, guttural, "MMMRRRRUUUUHHHHHHH...." that sounds like he's a 400 pound bear scratching on a tree. He's rubbing a spot on what would be, if he stood upright, his lower back, and I'm thinking that maybe he's getting a bit arthritic in his middle age and he has found his own massage therapist. Obviously the bedroom set will be moving with us, I can't separate him from his therapist.
ReplyDelete"I can't separate him from his therapist."
ReplyDeleteLol! What a great video.
I've been trying to get J "greeting the Tortoise" on a video. He has never given up trying to get Mama tort to run away from him.
