Murry
It is with sad news we share that Murry has passed.
Murry was a great dog. We called him ‘Murf’ and ‘Murf-Gurf’ and ‘Murf-the-Gurf-Lurf’.
Murry was a great dog. We called him ‘Murf’ and ‘Murf-Gurf’ and ‘Murf-the-Gurf-Lurf’.
He was a large chow-bird dog mix that my Pawpaw gave us. We thought it would help us make the decision to have kids, for if we could raise a dog certainly we can rear children!
In his better days he was very full of energy and had a beautiful thick coat of soft hair. He saw all of our children born, and faithfully defended us from the dreaded UPS, FedEx, and mailman everyday.
Everyone who met Murry loved him and wished they had a dog like him. While he could be ferocious, he was also very easy-going and put up with babies pulling his hair and throwing up on him, the dreaded BATH, and even bagpipes. He was our Aslan, and we felt safe with him around.
The latter months were very hard. He recovered fairly well from (we believe) a stroke, but eventually started showing his age again. He eventually had a very hard time getting up and down and lost control of his bowels. We did our best to keep him clean and comfortable, but had to keep him outside more. We think he had another stroke today and passed away.
Murry was 15 and a half. He lived a long, healthy life and brought us much happiness, laughter, security, and love. He was faithful to the end.
We love you Murf!
