Arrival Story:
I used to be a private school principal. When Murphy was a puppy, I would take her to my office. The children loved her and if they had any worries they always told Murphy about them. I would listen to them talking to her, and learn many interesting things. Ironically, Murphy has a hard time tolerating children now and will usually walk away from them. .

Bio:
Poor little Murphy has had a lifetime of medical problems. She was allergic to 17 out of the 18 grasses that grow in our area, plus every known dog food, and even dog dander. That means she was allergic to herself. With the development of new foods and with age, Murph has outgrown most of her allergies. Murphy is also epileptic and has to have medication to control her episodes. Other than than, Murphy is a real little sweetheart, despite her fragile size. Murphy is an angel and has been a joy to us her whole life. Post Script~ The angels took our Murphy today, just a few days after her 15th birthday. Sweet little Murphy could no longer stand on her weak back legs and was so frail and tired. She has now gone over The Rainbow's Bridge and is free of pain and weakness. She has joined up with our other furry pals that we have lost over the years and they are all talking and getting acquainted and having a great time chasing balls and playing by the water's edge. Murphy was a jewel and will be missed greatly. Her little brother Jake will especially miss his big sister, though small in size yet big in heart. Rest now my girl and know that you were loved beyond words. Murphy Longinotti 1991-2006
