And then there were three....

Well, it has been about 5 months but I never officially introduced Murphy Jackson McNamara!!

As most of you know Tim and I have had puppy fever for a while now and couldn't wait to add a dog to our family. Well, on May 30th that finally happened! On our way back from Arkansas over Memorial Day weekend we "stopped by" a breeders house on the way back just going to "look" (well knowing that the odds were good that we would come home with a pup). When we got to the breeders house she had two puppies left and we fell in love. Little Murphy was 6 pounds of fuzzy love and we couldn't pass him up. And as the luck of the Irish would have it he was born on St. Patrick's Day - we knew it was meant to be. So we made the trip home with our newest addition and are so happy we made the "stop". Murphy has been a sweet dog who is learning more day by day. We enrolled in puppy school which is really more like owner school so we can help our super smart working dog learn all sorts of stuff.

Here are some inital pictures of Murphy when we brought him home and as he has been growing.
