Murphy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Murphy
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier
Home: Ontario, Canada
 
   Murphy loves life, and has such a funny sense of humour. He loves naps, loves playing hide and seek, and loves his best buddy "Jack" the schnoodle. The second photo shows Murphy (with red bandana), and Jack together at their favorite play area, the local conservation area. Murphy loves learning new tricks and has recently learned to "hug" on command. He will sidle up to your side and inch his way into you. It's adorable, and so gentle.

    He is especially good with the young daycare children that come into our home each day. He will sit quietly and listen to stories with the children, and allow them to draw chalk outlines around him whilst outdoors. He also stood very still as my daughter painted his side with "I am Canadian" (with pet-safe dye). He seemed to understand the fun in it, and loved the attention he got as a result. Canada Day is July 1st, and our pal Murphy is ready to rock on!

    Murphy has recently been diagnosed with Juvenile kidney disease which means his life expectancy has been shortened dramatically. We work very closely with our amazing vet (We are so lucky to have found such a great one!), and work to make each day a happy one for Murphy. Walking at the conservation area, swimming, playing with his friend Jack, and being fussed over and loved as much as possible. That's Murphy's life.
