GAH! Look what happened overnight! SNOW! BOO times a million.

Murphy felt the same way about the snow this morning. I had to drag him outside into it, but once he was out there, he quickly did his business— he wanted to get back in the house as much as I did! I’m glad that Murphy is a snow-hater too.

Breakfast
At 7:45 this morning, Murphy was hungry for breakfast, so he woke me up. I’m telling ya, this dog is on a schedule like you wouldn’t believe! Plus, it’s Murphy’s world, and I’m just living in it. So, I got out of bed, poured myself a glass of iced coffee with soy milk and a splash of coffee creamer (holy yum!) and snacked on some grapes while I cleaned the kitchen.

A little while later, Mal woke up and made us eggs for breakfast. I also had a toasted Bagel Thin with Chia Charger nut butter spread on top.

After breakfast, Mal and I meal planned for the upcoming week. Mal picked out a few recipes to make while I checked out our coupon situation and researched in-store deals. Each week, we either shop at Whole Foods or Stop & Shop depending on sales and coupons. This week, Whole Foods won because their Whole Deal flyer had lots of great coupons on it.
Our meal planning might sound (and look) like a lot of work, but it gets easier each time. This morning, it only took us about 15 minutes, and it’s totally worth it. We save a lot of money at the grocery store!

Once our grocery shopping list was all set, we hit up Google to try to figure out what’s going on with Murphy’s face. I mean, it know it’s absolutely adorable, but his lip has developed a massive pimple-like thing on it.

Check it out!

Murphy’s pimple turned up a little over a week ago. It doesn’t seem to be getting worse, but it’s not getting better either. It doesn’t seem to bother Murphy, but Mal and I are total worrywarts when it comes to our dog, so, of course, we’re concerned.
Has anyone’s dog ever had this happen to them? Should we be concerned?
