This is my dearly beloved, almost 15 year old Bearded Collie, Murphy. She got the nickname 'Mooph' soon after I adopted her when she was two. A little boy came to visit who couldn't say 'Murphy', so he called her 'Moophy'. The name stuck. She is a mischevious tomboy, has severe bone-on-bone arthritis in her hindquarter, is grieving the loss of her adoptive sister, Phoebe, and hanging in with me for awhile longer. How long is hard to tell. |
