Tuesdays with Murphy: Joe Friday, the Dog Whisperer

I have to give it to my uncle Joe (you might know him as Joe Friday) a lot of credit. He’s been ‘babysitting’ (the nerve!) me while Jerry and The Berry are on vacation. We’re having lots of fun, but where I really give him credit is the work he’s done with Molly. You may remember that Molly is the Devon Rex who used to live with Jerry. She is beautiful – and “moody” (that’s my gentlemanly way of saying ‘mean’!). She hit and hissed the first time she met me.

But Joe is a cat lover of the highest order, and she’s been living with him all this time. And I’m not sure what he’s putting in her kibbles, but something he’s doing is magic – he’s really mellowed her out! Out with the hissing, in with the cuddles! Now while Joe is my main human, I’m sharing my space with this little creature and I couldn’t be happier. She’s tiny, but she’s warm – I’ll take it!
