Maranatha's Murphy's Moment

It is with GREAT SADNESS that we had to send our Most SPECIAL girl off to the Bridge this October.   Our hearts ache and there is an emptiness that is unexplainable.   We gave our girl our last gift of unconditional  love while she gazed out at the beautiful trees and grass on an early Fall evening.   She went on her journey peacefully with her dignity and in my arms knowing that she was loved beyond any  words.

Till we meet again my sweet precious Murphy

 I know your spirit will always be with us

 thank you for  your unconditional love and the joy you have brought to all those who you touched.


Maranatha's Murphy's Moment (OFA Good)
Breeder: Nancy and Whit Coombs – Maranatha Great Pyrenees (717) 359-9459
Whelped: 12/20/92
Sire: Ch. Kenneview's Grand Slam, HOF, HOF "Grady"
Dam: Ch. Bousy Rouge Ami Di TipandChip "Sara"

Our first and most intelligent, independent, and the one who changed our lives forever. This girl is as loyal and loving as can be – but she is in every sense a "true Great Pyrenees".  Murphy is the most confident pyr that I have ever met. She is a true guardian and is so quick to access any given situation. I have no doubt that this girl even at almost 11.5 years old could 
be put on the farm and would do her job without a hitch. However, she does love her bed and couch (see thumbnails).

Murphy has been  and still is in the center of our hearts. She is why we have come to love this breed and why we are doing what we do now. Because of her, we have went from a sports car to a mini-van, moved to a home with more property (4 ˝ acres), traveled all over the place, and have broken so many house rules. Through her we have met many great people and now have 
long lasting friendships. Because of this girl, we became involved in Preventive Rescue,  Breeding (although she was never or will ever be bred), Dog Showing, Penn Dutch Great Pyrenees Club and the Great Pyrenees Club of America, and the addition of two other pyrs in our home.

Murphy is by no means a "clingy give me all your attention dog" she loves when she wants to  and is always alert and ready to go, while appearing totally relaxed. She is a true guardian and  can adapt to any situation thrown her way. It has been a privilege to have her in our lives and  we have the utmost respect for this fine gal.

We hope that you will enjoy some of "Murphy's Moments" below and maybe, just maybe, you 
can get an idea of just how exceptional she truly is.
