Murphy by Meghan

Murphy is our white toy poodle that we bought from a breeder in New Jersey on the 5th of August. He is 2 ½ months old. On the way to the breeder's, after we got off the exit we took a right at the wrong light and got lost, but luckily I had the cell phone! I had called them on the day before so I had the number. I called and got the directions. We found our way and when we got there we looked in the window where the puppies are, and they had one poodle and it was white but we looked at it anyway. (I wanted an apricot girl.) They have little stalls to play with the puppy, so you can see if you like how the puppy behaves. He got on the floor and he started running around playing with toys, he also ran up to me and my sister and played with us too. So I asked how much he was and the lady told me , but the only problem was he was $99.00 over the limit my father had set for us. My mom told me that I could ask my dad if we could have an extra $99. So I called Dad, and he said it was Ok so we bought him. (I was so happy!) They gave him a bath, clipped his toenails and even put a hairtie in his head fluff. On the way home he got to sit on our laps in the back seat, and he kept trying to look out the windows at the trucks. When we got him home all the other dogs went nuts so we put them outside and let them in one at a time to meet their new little brother. We let Monty in first. (He is our other toy poodle.) He thought we bought a new toy for him so he didn’t mind the new puppy at all. Then Murphy started hopping up on the counter like he was trying to get out, we found out when he went to the bathroom on the floor, that’s his way of telling us he has to go outside. So he is pretty smart. He is so cute and fluffy and a good dog. We didn't have the same good luck with our other dogs, Shadow the Golden Retriever was ok, Fala our Scotty was aloof as always and well Myles is still out of sorts. But they are all coming around it will just take more time. I think it was a good match. MMC
