Meet the muse

Murphy the museThis is my muse, Murphy, if a muse can be male, a dog, and asleep most of the time. Murphy, a four-year-old Maltese, is many things. Yesterday he was a field zoologist. He spent the afternoon observing the feeding habits of the rabbits in our yard. If he had opposable thumbs, I believe he would have been taking notes.
