Murphey's Story

My husband and I wanted to get another dog for some time and wanted to waited until the time felt right. We had one dog already and we weren't sure if our hearts were big enough for a second but knew it would be a good thing not only for us but for Dexter our 2.5 Year old Boxer mix. So around Valentines Day we decided to actively look for our next fur baby. I went to the Humane Society and found little Ferb. He was so happy and active and even though he weighed about 10 lbs. under weight he was excited to be alive. I instantly fell in love but was so scared to introduce him into our lives. So I went and picked up Dexter so he could meet him. They got along fine and we decided to take a leap and adopt him. Since that day I've discovered exactly how wrong we were. Our hearts was missing something and that something was our little Ferb renamed Murphy. He is so much fun. Our little fur baby Dexter is very calm and doesn't make much noise or fuss. He is very loving but not cuddly. Now our Murphy is the exact opposite. He isn't calm he loves to play and jump and talk. He loves to cuddle right up next to you his favorite spot is nestled between a blanket and your neck. The compliment each other so well. We were very scared that we didn't know much about this little guys past but as it happens to be now we don't care. He is our little fur baby and we wouldn't want it any other way and we don't care what lies in his past all we care about now is that he knows he's loved and has a place within our hearts. Now his big brother would probably want him to know that he doesn't like it when he is mid nap and little brother jumps on top of him and pulls on his ears. However our bud Dexter wouldn't know what to do without his little brother either anymore. Our family feels complete and we are all so happy. I think I thought I'd feel proud or more special since I adopted and saved a life but I think the Montoya family like most I'm sure realized it doesn't make us feel special or like we did a good deed. It feels like we just found our missing piece and however that piece was found we are complete.
