Murphy is TWELVE today! TWELVE. An age we weren't sure we'd get to see when he was diagnosed with lymphangiectasia in 2009. I am actually happy to see that in the last few years the articles that pop up on a quick Google have changed - this one doesn't just declare it a death sentence, as so many did a few years ago. We still take it day by day, but this morning I watched him happily trotting up the street beside me and confidently turning onto our driveway, leading the way, and I'm just so happy that he is hanging in and full of his spunky Murphy-ness.
He may be down to wearing a chihuahua harness, but he's still the Bossy Little Dog.
Happy birthday, Murphy

ReplyDeleteYou are a great example of the old saying: It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that matters!
