Pool Party

Sunday afternoon was a lazy day spent at Jen & Mike's by the pool. They are my wonderful friends who volunteered to dog sit Murphy while I am in Vermont for a week in June, and we wanted to get the dogs all together to meet before that week. (Plus Jen & Mike hadn't even met the new addition yet!)

Kona became the big boss immediately, barking and yipping at Murphy whenever he did something Kona didn't agree with (which at first was pretty much everything!). Soon Murphy realized this noise was nothing more than noise and he began loping around the yard, running and playing. He had a great time egging on Lucy and Kona...running back to the "Safe Zone" when things got too outta hand.

Murphy eventually ended up in the pool. The "Shamu Shelf" was the perfect depth, and he was immediately comfortable. He got a little too confident though and took one step too many and ended up going for a swim! In the end, Kona and Murphy became great friends...in the way doggies become great friends, by gnawing and pulling on each other's cheeks.
It was a fun day, especially since Murphy was pooped and slept for the rest of the afternoon!
