Meet Murphy

This is our new puppy Murphy. He is a pure bred Staffy. He is 8 weeks old.

He has been accepted into the family enthusiastically!!

Below is Jory helping Kuta to know that he is still loved and to introduce Kuta to Murphy.

Here is Murphy getting to know Jory a bit better by sniffing his butt!!

And the funny thing about it is Jory has no idea!  lol

And another sniff just to make sure he's friendly!

Below Murphy and Kuta test the boundaries with each other.

And Kuta lets Murphy know that he has been here for 16 years and under no circumstances will he be walked over by any furry little puppy. Kuta is the boss of the family and that's how it's staying! LOL.

And below you will see Murphy sneaking off with one of Jory's socks! Oh well, we already have about 50 odd socks in the basket, whats a few more?!!

Under the bush for a chew!!

Now Murphy is quite a calm little dog for being a puppy. At night time we let him in and after a few-minute sniff-around he settles himself down for a sleep at someones feet. Below it's Chey's but it's usually mine or Heaths (cos he knows we are the bosses).

Now it is interesting that we got a staffy . . . . and I'll tell you the story about that!!

First I want you to know that most people think that dog owners get a dog that is like them in some way or a lot of ways.

I am starting to believe this because it was Heath that wanted a Staffy and Murphy is basically his dog (though looked after and cleaned up after and fed by the whole family!! go figure!)

But if you think about it Staffy's are . . . . .

Very Loyal

Quite Good Looking

Short and Stocky

Extremely Strong

Very Intelligent

Protective of its Family

Intimidating when Required

AND

A little bit BOGAN!!!!

Sound like anyone else you know??

Just a thought . . . . . . . .

Oh and check out the little goatee thing under their chins!!! :-)

Coincidence???
