Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

Sally - Lamby is OK for humans to use as a pillow (and it makes a pretty nice one, too), but he gets upset if his brother or sister steals it for a toy 
As for Barret - Some days I would love to rent him out. He can be a stinker, but he's too darn cute to stay mad at. However, I believe that Erica has called "dibs" on my boy first! You'd be surprised how much energy a 21lb dog can have. My dog sitter sleeps for a week after she keeps him!
We were pumpkin carving over the weekend - all the dogs liked to "help", haha!
