Hi, I’m Murphy the latest addition to Rock Solid Brittanys!

I get called a lot of things around here.  Smurf, Smurfy and some names I can’t really mention here (but only when I pee in the house and stuff like that).  The girls I live with basically just growl at me (except Abby, she bites me) so I guess to them my name is rrrrrrrrrrrrr!

So far most things here have been pretty fun.  My current particular hobbies include biteface with Abby, chewing rawhide bones, napping (rarely of course) and running at the farm.

The farm place his pretty cool but has changed a bit in the last couple of weeks.  Apparently my people get mad at me when they have to chase me down with the four-wheelers in order to get me to stop.  Now they put a device on my neck that helps my ears work better.

This device is pretty amazing and it can make me do things that I really don’t want to do.  Somehow they seem happy about this.  Humans!!!

What else can I tell you about myself?  Hmmm. 

Well I was born in Michigan and I came to live in Minnesota when I was 3 months old.  My new Mom picked me out because I was cute when I was sleeping (silly her) in the picture they sent of me.  Little did she know how little I actually sleep!

Anyway, my new Mom and her sister picked me up at a truck-stop in Indiana and took to my new home.  It was a really long ride!

When I got here I immediately took to my new sister Abby (ok she’s really my Aunt but that is a story for another time).  Abby would play biteface with me and wrestle with me.  The big dog Sam just growled at me.  I think she really wanted to play with me but didn’t really know how.

Then there was the old dog Jessie.  Jessie looks a lot like my real Mom.  She’s brown and very pretty.  She also must know something about puppies because she put me right in my place, no questions asked.

After much debate at the house a call name was picked for me.  What’s a call name you might ask?  That is the name that is screamed at you when you are doing something wrong to get your attention.  The name they chose for me (after several hundred possibilities) was Murphy.  When I heard it I liked it so I guess I’m happy with it.  It was also better than a few of the possibilities that were thrown out there.  I don’t need no sissy name that the other dogs would point and laugh at!

My real name took a bit longer.  They tried combinations with my Dad’s name, my Mom’s name and even some of my relative’s names and nothing seemed to click. 

Finally they settled on “Rock Solid’s Wish You Were Here”.  I thought that was kind of cool.  My human’s told me that it was a song by a band called “Pink Floyd”.  At that point I was just glad they didn’t name me Floyd!
