Well, I’m back to the grind. Who knows what fresh miseries I am currently enduring?
Fortunately, dear readers, you get to watch videos of my fat bull terrier, Murphy!
This week I’ve got Murphy attempting to eat peanut butter and giving potentially lethal kisses:
Murphy is back in the spotlight with this week’s edition of Phone it in Friday/YouTube Roundup. I haven’t been churning out low-quality content as much lately (unless you include my rambling scribblings on this blog), so I’ve just got a couple of Murphtastic vids to share.
On deck: Murphy meets classic rock, and drifts between planes of consciousness:
Yours portly has been pretty lazy this past week. Sure, I taught some lessons and have been rehearsing for a gig with my musician friend Sarah in August, but otherwise I’ve been losing myself in Civilization VI and lounging like a French duke living on welfare. I mean, I also finished composing an album this past weekend, but by my standards, I’ve been loafing like a senior before graduation.
So, in the spirit of churning out a blog post with minimal effort and maximum returns, I’m sharing some of my recent YouTube shorts. These do not feature my lovable dog, Murphy, so your mileage may vary.
Videos this week feature a dusty windowsill covered in toys; yours portly LARPing as a hobo; and a twist on the Nativity:
My eleven-year old bull terrier, Murphy, continues to be a source of inspiration for yours portly. It’s remarkable how just watching her sleep draws in viewers like moths to a wardrobe. Only women and dogs can elicit so much sympathy and love for doing so little, and Murphy is both.
This week I’ve got an adorable video of Murphy snoring her brains out, and another video in which she establishes her “urinatical” control over a far-flung patch of gas station dirt.
My humble YouTube channel is doing well thanks to Murphy‘s popularity. She is a real ham—and about as big as one, too!
Here we have Murphy at dusk; ruling the roost; and getting agitated:
My humble YouTube channel continues to grow (121 subscribers at the time of writing) thanks to Murphy‘s popularity. She loves the camera, and the people love Murphy.
I’ve been posting videos of Murphy to my YouTube channel, and they’ve been catching on quite nicely. It seems that narrating my fat dog’s antics is an easy way to distract people from their bitter ennui for a few seconds—or, you know, people just like cute dogs.
Whatever the case, I’m never one to work harder than necessary, so I’ve been posting compilations of Murphy’s videos to this humble blog. Now I’m sharing the first three of these posts here.
“Where are the links to the videos, Port?” I hear you cry. Reposting them here defeats the point of Lazy Sunday. So click on the original posts and find three succulent videos each—a total of nine toothsome morsels of canine cantankerousness:
Happy Sunday—and Happy Viewing!
