It turns out that Murphy doesn’t like snow at all. (Maybe he just needs a doggie sweater to keep him warm?) It’s funny because last winter he LOVED playing in it! I guess he wised-up to the evils of snow.
So, our afternoon walk went a little like this:
Mom, I really don’t want to go outside in the snow.Ā
Seriously, I don’tāĀ¦ want to… go outāĀ¦ there!
Mom, I can’t believe you dragged me outside. You’re so mean to me. Snow is the worst!
Wait. Can I eat this stuff?!?
Ok, Mom, so the faster I do my business, the faster we can go back inside, right? Let’s do this thing!
Bladder empty! Back to the house!!!
C’mon, Mom. Let me in! I’m freeeeezing!
Now, get this snow off me!!
Dinner
Mal cooked American Chop Suey for dinner. I increased the nutritional profile of my serving by adding some (previously frozen) brussels sprouts and peas. (I just nuked the veggies in the microwave before mixing it all together.) I love adding vegetables to pasta. It always seems to satisfy my stomach and taste buds.
Off to look for something sweet!

Tina, this post made me so happy. My pug used to do the same thing and looked just like Murphy. They’re so hilarious aren’t they? Thanks for bringing a smile to my face š
Aww, Murphy. So cute.
This video of a pug being vacuumed came up on my YouTube subscription page today. I’m guessing Murphy would never allow this to happen” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhepI0JWuuc
I have never seen a dog with as much personality as Murphy!
I don’t blame Murphy – I’ll do anything to avoid going out in the cold! š
My dog hates snow, rain, or cold. It’s a good thing I rescued him from Chicago and brought him to the south or he’d really be upset!
OMG, hilarious. my pug loved the snow the first time she saw it, but this year… NOPE. looked pretty much exactly like murphy, only we were outside one morning for 35 minutes until she could go (finally in a patch where the snow had melted). This mama was freeeezing afterwards.
Murphy is so stinking cute! How do you make your chop suey? It looks so good and comforting.
Love this! My pug hates the snow as well. She runs from us when she sees that it’s snowing outside! Can you share your chop suey recipe? it looks delicious!
HAHAHA! Oscar does the same thing to dry off!! He loves playing in the snow, but hates when his belly gets wet since he is so low to the ground.
HAHAHA!!! YAY SNOW! I bet Murphy is sooo happy.
HAHAHA!!! YAY SNOW! I bet Murphy is sooo happy in it!
I love Murphy! He seems like a great pup. He’s so expressive with his face. LOL. Looks like he was haulin’ butt on the walk.
Our pug, Alouysius, dislikes water of any sort, so I can’t imagine he’d be any better with snow than Murphy. This morning I had to walk him around for 15 minutes to find a spot dry enough for him to do his potty thing…it’s been raining for days and supposed to go for another day still and I’m worried about how we’re going to find anywhere dry enough outside by tomorrow night, LOL.
Hah, my dog LOVES the snow and will eat & chase after it for hours
I can’t say I blame Murphy! It’s cold out there!
Looks like Murphy needs a doggie sweater!
I can tell you, I got Wiggy a doggie sweater for Philly’s record snow hell last year and he detested the snow. This year, we got an INCH and Wiggy has already decided that pugs and snow are non-mixy things – wait til we get this snowstorm on Christmas Eve – he’s going to think that I’m the worst mom ever! Murphy has grown wise to the snow – just stand firm.
That video is adorable!
