Well, almost....
If faithful is what you want....Murphy's your man! If super intelligent is what you want....hmmmm, then not so much. Murphy has had an on again/off again relationship with what we refer to as "the lampshade." He's okay for a while and we enjoy having a normal-looking dog around. Then he goes to the groomer and she shaves him too close causing him to lick (and lick and lick and lick and lick and lick.....)
He must have toxic dog spit because if we don't catch him right away, within a couple of hours he has licked the fur completely off of his sore spot. If we don't apply "the lampshade" he continues until his skin is raw. We've tried to explain in simple terms to Murphy why he has to "cease and resist" but he won't comply.

| Murphy the Lampshade.... |
Recently I purchased a new heater to put in my little corner of the world where I sit and write, whilst looking out of our giant front window overlooking our forestacious woodmus (why yes, I am making up words....what of it?)
Anyway....Murph decided that he loved sitting in front of the heater; as in nose to heater. I plunked his dog bed not even a foot away from the 1200 watt radiant heat and he still wanted to move closer. Everytime I left the room, I turned the heater off because I wasn't really sure just how stupid he actually is.
This picture below shows that no matter how hard he tries...Murphy just doesn't understand the relationship between action and consequence! Poor Murphy!
