YouTube is giving me fits these days. It won't let me add videos to Murphy's channel because he doesn't have a Google address. So I will try to make this work by putting it in with our email and registering that way. Talk about having to go round about! I did post it on FB, but as far as I know, we still can't do a direct copy of a video from FB to this site.

Kathi and Murphy
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!

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE. MURPHY AND GUS!!!!!! OOOOOOMMMMMMDDDDDDD! Cutest video ever!!! This thing has to go viral!!
And the SLURPING sounds and the delightful smacking of the lips!!!! Cannot stop smiling!!!!!!
And the tails wagging so happily...and the looks...so content and so proud of their harvest!!!
And I love how Murph checks out Gus's bean patch corner every now and then to make sure he's not missing anything! And then he goes to the other side to see of there are better beans over there!
I'm gonna make Myrtle watch this and see if she'll eat green beans for her supper tonight! Heck, I'm gonna eat green beans tonight too! This video has me salivating!!!
Been waiting for this all summer! Boys, you did not disappoint!!!
And everybody looks so good and so hap o y and healthy! Gus, you look like a spring chicken...with a few grey feathers!
LOTS OF LOVE TO ALL!!! Made my year!!!
Sally and Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

Kathi,
What good boys to eat their veggies and to harvest them too. Maybe you can hire them out to a u-pick farm. I had a black lab and a goldie that were the best of friends so it just warms my heart to see those two.

They have both been so funny. After we had to put up the fence to keep Murphy out earlier this summer, I figured everything would be gone immediately when the fence came down. Now they go over to the beans and look to us to see if it is OK to have any. I will be pulling out the last of them this weekend...no more garden fresh treats for this year.
