Murphy joined our family in 2012 when we adopted him from Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies (GRRR) as a rambunctious 11-month-old. He’s 8 years old now and more than a little white around the muzzle. Sometimes I look at the photos of him as a young pup and he looks like a completely different dog! I’m realizing it’s nice to have photos from all stages of his life. He’s slowing down a bit now so I’m glad I captured so many action shots when he was young and energetic. Now that he’s slightly mellower, he can hold a sit longer so that’s a plus. I hope you enjoy Murphy’s silly photos as much as I do!

I urge you not to procrastinate your dog’s photos until they are old and sick. There’s no time like the present. All stages of their life are worth capturing!
