May your holiday leave you satiated with gratitude and drunk with hope.

Cheers - Heath

Nov. 21, 8:30 PM:

Um, about time.

So, excuse me, but I believe the weekend was supposed to start on my schedule. You should know that it is a 24/7 schedule unless I am napping, and it's not like you're allowed to leave when I slumber, you are required to take up the barking defense battle station. Thank you.

8:31PM:

What are you waiting for?

Um, stop fooling around with your iBone and let me out, or else I'm peeing on it. Thank you.

8:35PM:

I'm not doing this for you.

Um, excuse me? It would be easier for me to get the treat if you set it down. Thank you!

8:45PM:

We can now begin

Very well, we can now take a break and let the weekend start. I have very high standards, you know, I expect you to keep up with me... Thank you.

10:08PM:

Ex-c-c-c-cuse me?

Um, this is not a temperature, this is a punishment! No thank you!

10:14PM: Oops. Due to a laptop battery miscalculation there will an interrupt in the Murphy liveblog until further notice. Sorry!

10:32PM: And we're back! Let's celebrate!

Thank you!

I like to celebrate by sitting like a drunk little man! How do you like to celebrate?

11:06:PM:

Weee-OOOO-Weeee-OOOOO

A CAR!! A SINGLE CAR! THREAT LEVEL, um, ORANGE!! DO YOU NOT SEE THIS!?!?

Nov. 22, 12:08AM:

What?

Um, I'm a bear. I'm hibernating. Goodnight for now... thanks.

Zzzzzzzzzzz

7:16AM: A new day! Woke up in a house that was, um, 48 degrees today, thank you. We'll take a break while The Heath runs an errand. (But I am certain he's leaving because of me, he said something about my breath smelling like smoldering garbage. Um, excuse me?)

In the meantime, you can have an interactive role in Um, excuse me: The Murphy liveblog. When we're back together this afternoon, what toy should we play with?

They're all so fun

See you later today with the results!

1:04PM: A three way tie! Um, next vote wins. In the meantime I will wait in front of the stove for fun to begin.

Um, this spot taken, thank you.

2:29PM:

Mmmmm... Andy

Andy was the big winner, er, um, or big loser I guess. Whatever, I win.

4:39PM: Having to hang out with just this Heath guy is starting to get a little lame.

Guys? Come on, guys.

5:23PM: A series of loud noises outside has made me very scared. Um, the later acts of the Murphy liveblog are taking some darker turns. I didn't know I was such a dramatic pup!

6:29PM: Company! That's what this party needed. Um, thank you!

9:55PM: I knew I had scheduled a massage. I just didn't know exactly when. Um, for some reason I never know exactly when. Actually, excuse me, but now that I think about it I believe it is scheduled for any time I want.

Aaaaaaah.

11:46PM: I'm a cave dog!

Murphy: Under Cover

That's all for Saturday.

11:00AM: Um, it's not like some kind of brain teaser, dude.

We are behind schedule, sir.

You wake up, um, now. Thank you.

1:26PM:

Every... last... bit

Thanks for making special, um, breakfast, Heath... but I think you got the portion size wrong again.

4:02PM: I admit, I'm excited for everyone to come home now.

Almost time!

5:44PM: And that's a wrap! The Heath has the nerve to go eat something without me and it's hard to type with my paws. My people will be home soon and life can return to normal!

Um, excuse me, to everyone who kept up with my weekend, thank you!
