He stayed in the cedar dog house the first night. Then, he escaped from the dog house while we were at church. So my son and I slept on sofas while Murphy slept on dog pillow next to the sofas. All four of us agree that couches, sofas, beds are off-limit for him. I think he recognizes us as owners now. Tomorrow he will go to Frank's office, stay in his cubicle. Murphy will be praised and patted the whole time by Frank's co-workers. Kids and I have Chemistry lab tomorrow morning.
My heart really felt for Murphy on his first and second days at out house. I could feel his insecurity. He would not finish his meal if I walked out of sight. Later I sat on the sofa next to his dog house where he could see me, then he resumed eating. Yesterday when kids and Frank went to bible class, Murphy whined for a little while. He stopped whining when I hugged him and talked to him. He had lost his previous owner for some unsolved mysteries. But I can tell he is happy and feel at home today. He is part of the family and he knows it.
