Meet Murphy

An across-the-street neighbor and I have been taking care of each other's pets for several years now.  Whenever one of us has to be away for the whole day or an overnight, the other does the feeding, walking, etc.

They adopted Murphy in late November from a rescue, and he is a keeper--a very dignified yet friendly older gentleman.  Mark held his leash while I held Kita's when we went for our walk.

Kita adores Murphy!  He generally ignores her while she tries to "kiss" his nose, but she never gives up.  Kita prances and dances around him, yet Murphy just keeps on walking.  I think she hopes he will play with her like our other neighbor's dog does--so far, no luck.
