A delightful way to start a new week.
My long-term friend, Richard, is partner to Julie.
Julie sent me the following picture of their dog, Murphy, with the description:
It’s a rainy morning in Elsenham and the first day of normal summer temps after some excruciatingly hot days this week of 37 degrees.
We normally go for an early walk for ablutions and then back for breakfast.
Not this morning … Murphy just sat at the top of the stairs ignoring my enthusiastic “walkies Murphy”. Even more hysterical was after I took his photo he turned away and walked into our spare room and sat on the bed !
Elsenham is in South-East England near Bishop’s Stortford and west of Colchester.

This was an amusing way to start the day. Thanks, Paul!

I guess it must have been the heat the other day. “I’m not going out in that again Mum! “

Yes, it was very, very hot the other day. I’m certain, Margaret, that was the root of the ‘intransigence’ shown.

I know exactly what Murphy was feeling! Extreme heat and then rain-definitely not dog friendly weather.
P.S. Murphy sure is a cutie.

He doesn’t go out in the rain and he’s got his own bedroom. Clever boy, Murphy!

Very smart Murphy! Now what exactly is wrong with his mom that she thought a walk in the heat a good idea? 🙂 Silly mom. I won’t walk in the heat either.

Yes, Murphy certainly wasn’t going for a walk! Despite it being first thing in the morning.
