Living with Murdoch [and his half-brother Morgan? Ha!], even with all your patience and love, seems like a Herculean task. It took all your knowledge and instinct just to prevent him from leaping at and devouring a moving car. When that small terrier war is narrowly curtailed, Murdoch sits calmly and innocently on his hunches while you are left "half crazy and ready to snap". Whew! You're a tough person, Heather. I suspect that you're quickly learning to dance in the rain, knowing that you can't control the storms.<br />On another point, I liked the pic of Murdoch you used here. Creative choice! You reduce his robust nature somewhat by using a high angle thereby shrinking his immense physical and emotional presence. A state wished for but not achieved - a polite and smiling dog looking up at the viewer. It all nicely points to the vivid contrasts in his complex character. He seems unaware of the stick glued to his snout as he quietly but pointedly sizes up the viewer- a reminder of his take-no-prisoners personality? Most of us would just use a low angle to underscore his size. You went the other way - far more effective and intriguing. Again, your camera and pen bouncing off each other.
