In Memory
It took me a month to eulogize Murdock – but truthfully, there could never be a proper eulogy. How can you put our nearly 15 years together into words? How can you capture the spirit of the soul that was him? It is an impossible task . . .
I adopted Murdock from a rural shelter when he was about 10 weeks old. One of the first times I took him for a check-up, the vet said “this guy has a big personality in a little body!” I paid the comment little mind at the time – but I would think about it countless times during our life together.
About Me
I am a middle-aged attorney, a runner, hiker, traveler, reader, kayaker, West Wingnut and Alan Trammell’s biggest fan. But the label I am most proud of, that defines me best, is Murdock’s mom.
I never had a dog before Murdock. Like most kids, “dog” was among my first words, and I don’t remember a day not wanting a dog. I adopted Murdock a few weeks after my 30th birthday. He jumped into my arms that day at the shelter (which, I soon learned, was very out of character), and my soul was forever changed.
