Murphy, our Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrirer turns 3 today.It hardly seems that long ago that we brought an 8 week old, tiny, caramel and black coloured pup home. Murph is a great companion for Lynn and I as we hike the local trails, something we need to do more.
Yesterday we decided to hike around Rattlesnake Point. Murph enjoyed the fallen leaves and new smells so much he was a bounding handful on leash for Lynn at first. Eventually he settled down, as he always does and he sat in the dappled soft light filtering through what remains of the leaves for this candid portrait.
He'll be getting a haircut shortly so that he has time for some to grow back before the winter comes. In the meantime, Lynn is constantly combing the debris and burrs out of his coat. Yesterday was no exception.
Another hike next week ...
