Furry Murrey

Murrey was my third Paws puppy. She was a fuzzy, furry standard poodle, cute as can be. I quickly learned that she was a princess. A few days after turning her into HQ for training, Paws diagnosed her with luxating petellas. She was career changed and donated to Leader Dogs For the Blind.

Leader Dogs x-rayed Murrey, observed her for a month, and concluded she was 100% OK! She graduated from LD and was issued to Brenda in Shreveport LA. Murrey is Brenda's second Leader Dog. Her first Leader Dog, Woody, was a yellow lab. After developing alergies to Woody, Brenda needed a poodle. Murrey was the perfect fit!
After Brenda's friends said that Murrey needed a more girly name to match her princess personality, she became Marie. Brenda says she s a wonderful dog who performs her job perfectly. In addition to her guide dog tasks, Marie has picked up on Brenda's sleeping disorder and will wake Brenda up at night if something does not sound right.

Marie turned 5 years old in November 2009. She is an honorary member of the Daughter's of the American Revolution. She's vacationed at Disneyworld and in Texas and will be going to Missouri this year. At Disneyworld, Marie rode the rides and met some Lego dogs. You can hardly tell where Marie is!
