Murphy helping around the house.

One thing I didn't count on was how helpful Murphy would be around the house, having a puppy isn't all work. They adapt to chores very well. Why just today I was sweeping the floor and Murphy came in to save me from the vicious broom. It was obvious to her that it was up to no good.

Murphy keeps my dorky 'Elmer Fudd'  hat warm for me....

.....and helps me find my shoes on Sunday morning.

Murphy found the glove I dropped outside.....

.....and pre-washes the dishes in the dishwasher.

If it weren't for her, I would have missed this gorgeous sunrise this morning....

.....even if I can't seem to get the horizon straight using a tripod, 

perhaps I should use the level included....

or have my coffee before I take the picture.

But if you cock your head a bit to the right, it looks pretty good.
