When did you adopt your pet from AARF?: July 31, 2021
Pet’s AARF Name: Murray
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Murray
How is your adopted pet doing? Murray has fit in very well. He is beyond excited when he hears the word “walk” and jumps up and down until he gets his leash on, but he’s almost as happy to run around the backyard or have a snooze in one of his two doggy beds. Actually, he prefers the couch whenever he can! He is respectful of our 14-year-old cat, and at first, he didn’t even touch her food. However, when he became more settled, he decided it was fair game if she leaves it and if we forget to pick her plate up. We didn’t hear a bark from him for a week and then he found his voice, usually directed at the mailman. We call him “Murray, the Magician” because one second he is right there and the next, he’s in a different part of the house, and he’s really quiet when he’s on the move. We love him so much. He patiently lets us brush him, remove prickly burrs, & clip his toenails. We’ve learned he loves pizza, morning toast, even fruit smoothie, but not bananas. However, he’s very good about not begging. He waits patiently until he gets his share, especially fried egg scraped from the pan. He doesn’t smile for the camera much, but his tail gets a good wagging workout! We are so glad we spotted him in the A.A.R.F. video! He’s a wonderful member of our family.
