October 26th, 2009 by Murphy
This weekend was the doggywalker.com 10th Anniversary celebration and fundraiser for Lucky Dog rescue. It was at National Harbor, which I’d never been to before. It was actually a very cool place and dog friendly. If you’re in the DC area, you should definitely check it out.
We met a really nice photographerthere and he took this stunning (if I do say so myself) portrait of me. Granted he had a good subject to work with, but still, it’s a pretty cool photo. Thanks Michael! I also like it because of the all of the blue. For those of you who don’t know, I’m a huge Duke fan. Which leads me to my next exciting bit of news from the weekend – Duke beat Maryland in football!! Duke hasn’t had a winning football program in a looonnnng time, and that was our 2nd ACC win in a row and gives us a winning record for the season. Go DUKE!

Clarendon Day 2009
This past weekend was Clarendon Day, and while the day looked promising to start, it ended up pouring rain for most of the day. Such a bummer because the event is always so much fun and we were looking forward to seeing everyone.
So Saturday was pretty much a wash, which is why I was especially looking forward to Sunday, when we were hosting a Murphy & Me preview party for friends and neighbors at my house. I went to the grocery store at about 10am to grab a few things for the party, and came home and my street was shut down by the police and hundreds (OK, that’s a slight exaggeration, but it was a LOT) of police officers surrounding my house. Turns out there was police chase and the bad guys jumped MY fence and then disappeared, so the police thought they may be in my house.
Cue me having a panic attack, since Murphy was home alone, and the thought of my dog and some criminals hanging out in my house together was NOT going over very well. I begged and pleaded with the officers to let me go get Murphy, but they were having none of it. After a little while, the K9 police dogs arrived and sniffed one guy out from my garage and the other out of a neighbor’s tree – totally insane!
So the wonderful news was Murphy was safe, although a little stressed out, I think from all the K9 dogs running around his yard. And I was more than relieved that Murphy didn’t have any quality one-on-one time with federal fugitives. I swear, this stuff NEVER happens where I live, but of course it happens the morning I’m having a party…Murphy’s Law!!
Anyway, the chaos finally subsided and I hosted a slightly scaled back preview party. Big thanks to all of my neighbors and friends who stopped by. And a little lesson learned this weekend - remember to lock your doors (and garage!) even if you’re just be going to be gone for a few minutes on a Sunday morning. Having bad guys use your garage as a hiding place really isn’t that cool…
