Tribute to Murphy
Today, my wonderful dog Murphy passed away. Peacefully, surrounded by friends and family. Murphy was a gentleman dog: kind, thoughtful and forgiving. He was loved by many. He came to my life 5 years ago to keep me company, to be my friend and to teach me patience.
We had great times together. We took many wonderful road trips. Murphy loved travelling. He would rest his head on the back seat and watch the world through the rear window. People in the cars behind would smile broadly and wave to him. We visited friends on horse farms, on lakes and in the country. Murphy, being a city slicker, was kind of scared of horses, but he loved jumping into lakes and running in the woods.
One of my fantasies was to take a road trip with Murphy to Carmel, Calif. and stay at Doris Day’s Cypress Inn. Murphy would have loved the animal-friendly inn.
Part of my fantasy will be fulfilled when I go to Carmel and stay at the Cypress Inn in the beginning of April to celebrate Doris’ Birthday with other fans. Murphy will be there in spirit.
The above picture was taken in Youngstown, Ohio which is not far from Doris Day’s birth place, Cinnciannatti .
Dear Murphy, dear friend, have a great trip to doggy heaven and thanks for everything.
Velda.
