Sir Hamish the Handful

Hi there!   It's me....Murphy!   
I guess you have been wondering what is happening with my little bother brother?! 
My little bother brother is growing like a weed (as you humans say) and sticks to me like Velcro.  whatever that stuff is

No matter where I go - Hamish goes.
If I'm chewing on my favorite bone - Hamish chews on my favorite bone.
If I'm getting a drink of water - Hamish sticks his little fluffy head in the water bowl and tries to get the water out of my mouth.
No matter where I nap - Hamish naps.
If I bark at Chipmunks - Hamish barks but in the opposite direction.  (yeah, he needs some work in that department)

As for toys Hamish prefers to have the one that I have in my mouth at the moment.   I'm guessing it's going to take a few more lessons for my little bother brother.  And like most younger siblings....when I do allow him to take the toy that I was once chewing on ....he then drops it and runs zoomies around me like he won the grand prize on the boardwalk!   I just sit there and watch him.   My humans tell me every day how much I have "grown up".    Pack Leaders eyes were leaking when she told me that I am such a good girl.  She said that I have been such an amazing big sister.  The perfect teacher for little Hamish and I am her girl.    I guess patience pays off.  

Now....when it comes to my tennis balls that's a different story.   Hamish the Handful is a good puppy pupil when it comes to reading my "language".   I share my glow ball with him but that's about it.  Wet soggy tennis balls are my ticket to retrieving like a pro.   Love Giver tells me that I would make a great outfielder!   Once the ball bounced off my little bother brothers fluffy butt and I caught it!

Hamish the Handful likes to play outside in our yard.   My humans put straw down because it was so muddy.  Not that we mind the mud.....but Pack Leader said she was going to pull her hair out if more mud gets in the house so I guess straw is better than watching a human pull her hair out.


But when it comes to the straw, Hamish the Handful likes to slide in it.  And then he does those zoomies around and around.  And he jumps up at...well....nothing actually.   So we think he has an imaginary friend that he plays with!   BOL!    He makes us all laugh that little bother brother of mine!



The day will come when Hamish will join my friends in the pack.   He will run and have fun with us.  Hamish will learn how to be a good friend and how to play with other big dogs.  But until that day comes for my little bother brother....I'll be the best playmate he can have.  I'll be his big sister every single day for the rest of our lives.   I'll protect him even if he does get a little bigger than me.   I'll teach him to swim.  I'll teach him to love the great outdoors.  but I think he already does   I'll teach my little bother brother the art of sneaking up on those Chipmunks and the right direction to bark at them.   I'll give my little bother brother my favorite chew toy if he must have it.   But not my soggy tennis balls...that's a big not!   I will love Sir Hamish the Handful even if he is a bother at times.   Because why would I want him any differently? 

                                                             Until next time,
                                                                    Woofs!
                                                                   Murphy

As you can see....when I'm napping my little bother brother wants to be right next to me.  If only he would stay still!

Hamish went to visit Samson's family.  And their friend from England was visiting too! 

Forever Human is very good at working with Hamish!

Hamish got to meet the Mayor of our community - that would be Ranger
