Poor Murdoch. Before the girls came along, lots revolved around him. He had training, went swimming and running on a regular basis, and played "find Mommy" (hide and seek). Guilt ridden for working all day, we even had a dog sitter who came and picked him up in her Honda Element and drove him and a pack of other dogs to a dog park. Now mostly he's just hanging in there. Getting table scraps. Tolerating preschoolers who want to pet him at the park. And retreating to far off rooms for quiet napping spaces.
He is truly the sweetest dog. Yes, sometimes he pulls or crotch sniffs. But he has never been anything but gentle or sweet with the girls. Which is why I was so PO'd the other day when another dog jacked him while he was tied up at the park. The owner said her dog was "a rescue, can't be trusted, who doesn't like blonde dogs". Well, then its a really good idea for you to have him off leash at a playground with toddlers.
MDO has given me time to go running on the lake just with him. And he has even gone swimming lately. Hopefully that makes up for things like Harper puking on his head yesterday.

I have been feeling the 1st baby guilt a lot lately, too. Our poor Maggie now has a perpetually sticky spot on her back where tiny hands pat.
How can anyone not like blonds?
Right on, Eileen!!!
