IN MEMORY OF MURRAY



IN LOVING MEMORY OF MURRAY OUR FAITHFUL FRIEND FOR OVER FOURTEEN YEARS.






This Saturday was a very sad day for for us as we had to have our little friend Murray put down. He came to live with us when he was six months old, he came from an abusive home and it took a long time to gain his trust, but with a lot of love and patience his trust was gained and he became a very important part of our family. Mur had the sweetest spirit of any dog I have ever had, and was quite a little character. He loved to steal things from the other dogs, and in his younger days we called him the flying Mur as he would get a running start and leap for the bed or sofa from four or five feet away without a thought of where he was going to land. Mur was almost 15 years old and lived a long happy life with us We loved our little Mur very much and he will be greatly missed, it just isn't the same here without him.

Hi Lloyd: I'm so sorry to hear about Murray. I know how you feel, it's such a wrench to the heart to lose such a faithful friend, but better that way than to see them suffer. Old age and the indignities it brings aren't pleasant. Nice tribute to the Flying Mur.... 15 years is a long life. Hugs to you and your family.

These are fine pictures and a fitting memorial in honor of Murray's life. I enjoyed the times that I was able to pet him or toss him a "goodie." I was saddened by the news of his passing. He will always be missed!

Very sorry to hear that you had to say goodbye to him that way. I am sure he will be missed.

I had lost my dear friend Goldie the goldfish yesterday. He stayed with me for four years and fish has personality too.
