The big news this week is that I got a dog, Murphy, an eight-year old female bull terrier. I promise that I am not turning the blog into a gushfest for this lovable, chunky fur ball, but given how much I’ve written about her this week, it made sense to dedicate this Lazy Sunday to posts about Murphy. I mean, she is super lazy (she’s asleep at my feet at this very moment), and so I am; why scroll through a bunch of posts from all over the years, when I can just rehash the three related to my awesome dog?
- “Big News: TPP is Going to the Dogs” – This post announced the big news that I would begin fostering Murphy. The opportunity to do so came up rather quickly; I had only contacted The Bull Terrier Rescue Mission (donate to them) a week before they called to say they had a dog for me. It really is miraculous how perfectly everything has come together.
- “Supporting Friends Friday: The Bull Terrier Rescue Mission” – Because of the amazing work the organization does—and because they helped bring Murphy into my life—I dedicated this week’s Supporting Friends Friday to
- The Bull Terrier Rescue Mission (donate to them). They really do wonderful work with a difficult breed, and could use your support.
- “SubscribeStar Saturday: Dog Days: Early Reflections on Dog Ownership” (full post on SubscribeStar) – At the time I wrote this post, I’d only had Murphy two days (and change). Now I’ve had her three days (and change). Ergo, these are definitely early reflections. The post also includes a photo dump of a bunch of dog pictures—probably worth subscribing just for that!
- Subscriber-only “Flash Poll: Murphy Posts” – I anticipate that some people will love reading about (and seeing pictures of) Murphy, but some will find it annoying. Subscribers to my SubscribeStar page can vote in this poll to share their true feelings on the topic.
Happy Sunday!
