Cheyenne_Fury Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) I haven't visited DOL for quite awhile and not a great reason to return, but wanted to say goodbye to my dearly loved boy and thought this was the best place to do it... The story of Murray doesn't begin when I met him, he was a tough as nails Beagle with real attitude when he came into my life 6 years ago at around the age of 8. I adopted him thinking that an older dog would be more settled, less likely to want to roam and have a calming effect on my then 18 month old Dalmatian... I couldn't have been more wrong Not only did he escape as often as he could, he was an expert bench surfer from way back and quite a few nights stole what was to be dinner for the human's of the household Over the years he mellowed quite a lot, got very grey almost white in the face and was quite happy to stay at home and keep me company. He wasn't really a people's dog as such, wasn't in your face and needing your attention all the time like my other two, but was quite happy just to know that you were there. Completely different story if you had food that he considered was good enough for him to want though He passed quietly at home and really quite sudden and not expected at all. He waited for me to get home though and I was with him till the end and I'm sure in some way he knows how much he is loved and what an impact he had on all that knew him. Run free my tough old Beag, there are no fences to keep you in now and no smells you can't explore.

Cheyenne_Fury Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Thank you everyone for your kind words. Murray was very special and will never be able to be replaced. He was a typical Beagle right until the end and I loved him all that much more for it. He certainly was a character all his own and there will never be another like him.
