I know. My guys are getting old, too (they were fourteen this summer). Neither of them is physically incapacitated as much as Murphy is, but I know it's only a matter of time. And I remember when they were both small enough to fit in a paper grocery sack -- together. That's how I brought them home. They were six weeks old.

And, yes, I am very glad Murphy got to go out and smell the air. That's a very important part of life!
