I’ve mentioned Murphy before…
To refresh your memory, Murphy is John Bear’s dog, who happens to be white (Benjamin has been requesting a white dog for months and months). Since then the two have met and I’ve even been watching Murphy during the days while John Bear works. And guess what?
This cat person has fallen for a dog – big time.
I went from completely unable to picture a dog in my life to craving his presence. He’s my little buddy, our little buddy – with his fuzzy paws and even his stinky, drool breath.
In our spare time Murphy and I like to cuddle, go for long walks on the beach and dance…

Omigosh! I found you thru Momversation and even though I don't have a child (yet) I have friends whom you remind me of. I will mos def be telling them to look you up.
That being said… hmm, cutest guy in the picture? I'm going to go with your son, obvi. Your man's not bad at ALL, and Murphy's a whole 'nother breed of cute – Murphy and Maltese mix ,Millie, would make a GREAT looking couple.
GOODNESS!!! JOY AND LOVE OVERLOAD!! In a good way of course!! I am a reader(this is my first time commenting!) I am not a mom so not a single mom either lol but I love reading your blog and have been for a while, thanks for sharing!!!
My family was never a family that had pets or believed we could have pets, but then Marley came along the cutest lil Pomeranian you could imagine, with an attitude only his spoiled lil butt can have and get away with in our house!! We too went from "we would never have a dog let alone an indoor dog" to having a dog that hates the sun so is always indoors!!(im telling you he is spoiled!!) so I know exactly how you feel! Braught amazing joy to our home!
As for the Cutest Dude in your video? hhmm thats a tuffy the part with all 3 of them cuddling on the grass sooo cute so I would have to say its a tie between all three(though your son is adorable and shares his name with my lil brother and dad!)
Again thanks for sharing and keep sharing! I am taking notes for when i become a mom! lol
Lyzzy
Benjamin is the cutest!
All 3 are too cute playing… but Benjamin wins hands down! Love your blog… Even though I am now married single mom I was a single single mom for 4 years. (If that makes sense…). Your blog is very inspiring… I LOVE it!!! And as for your new love… You guys are too cute!
In order of cuteness: Benjamin (been reading the blog for a year and he's always been my favorite – next to my own little man who arrived in December of 2008), The fuzzy white dog and John Bear actually tie for 2nd…they both have their own quirkiness. I am so happy for all 4 of you!
*hugs*
It is hard to pick the cutest – (is this a trick question?)
I'm gonna say Murphy – just so he gets a vote!
You've got some pretty awesome boys there Alaina!
Duh, Benjamin. They are all super cute. And I almost went with your guy because he's the only one who won't pee on your floor.
That was a great video!
Ok, that's the epitome of cute.
And I second PT Lawmom's comment. Ha!
Um, how upset would Benjamin be if I voted for Murphy? Or to be diplomatic I could vote for a Benjamin-Murphy tie? Maybe if Benjamin had peed on you in the video he could have taken the lead, but the pee-dance was just too cute and so after a few moments of being tortured and torn, I've settled on Murphy being the cutest! No, maybe Benjamin… Murphy… forget it… it's cute overload!!
Great video
Sorry about the pee on the floor, you obviously had him all wound up!
I have to say Murphy because I'm pretty sure he'll pee on me if I don't.
Awwww … that is so super cute.
So glad you have three men in your life. Now you just have to get Benjamin and Murphy potty trained and life will really be grand!!
Congratulations to Abby! I'll be getting her water bottle out to her soon.
although all 3 are pretty darn cute… i'd have to say Benjamin is THE cutest! i'm kind of partial to sweet, sometimes rotten, energy-filled 3 year olds
They are all really cute, but how could Benjamin not be the CUTEST!!
of course, its Benjamin! Such a cute video!
I'm a dog lover and a John Bear lover but a 3 year old rolling around on the ground with a dog and JB is without a doubt the cutest! Benjamin wins the cutest award hands down! BTW, I have a 20 month old who, while not allowed to date yet (though it would be great if she could maybe get a part-time job) she will be a perfect g/f when she leaves the convent!
and um yes, I really do know how to spell and use proper grammar but my brain was going faster than my fingers.
Okay, John Bear is slacking in the votes so I'm going to say it's a tie for John Bear & Benjamin
The whole thing is just too cute!
Benjamin wins the vote. Cutest dude in the video
I think there are so few comments because it's a difficult question! Sofie's choice, so to speak… Of COURSE Benjamin is the cutest…
Ben of course! Kids rule…so do amazing boyfriends. And dogs. Hmmm.
I'm going to vote for Murphy. Maybe I'm just in a canine-centric state of mind?
Ooh, that's a tough call to make…I'm gonna go with Benjamin though, he's absolutely adorable!
Benjamin, hands down!
I gotta go with Benjamin. Just because he is just so cute with his big brown eyes.
Though the Bear comes in a close second.
= )
Dude? Benjamin, Dog? Murphy
Sorry Fabulous John Bear, kiddos and puppies win in this house every time!
