What’s TYVM (Thank You Very Much)? It’s my way of sarcastically thanking all the little things that have ticked me off. It serves as free therapy, and boy do I sometimes need some free therapy! TYVM used to be a weekly meme, however, I retired it awhile ago due to lack of participation. The button is still on my sidebar in case you’d like to play along. If so, please leave the link in the comments and I’ll be sure to come and visit.
I have a big one this week. So big in fact, that there’s only one.
Thank You Very Much to Jdaddy for not being strong the strong one during my moment of weakness when I sent him a picture of a boxer puppy. And Thank You Very Much for my one small moment of weakness turning into MANY moments of weakness.
We picked up our boxer puppy, Murphy, yesterday. He’s so stinkin’ adorable. He’s very mellow, and has been a wonderful addition to our family. So far, he’s doing really good. I couldn’t ask for a better puppy. I promise more pictures later this week, but until then, here’s one of Murphy and me on our way home.
Doesn’t he just melt your heart? Yeah, remind me of that when I’m bitching about him, okay?
Everybody can use some free therapy. What/who do you want to thank this week?

You are the second person who mentioned they got a puppy this weekend. Adorable, but I don’t envy either of you.
He is seriously the best puppy ever. So well behaved and training like a champ.
Ohhhh…he’s so cute! Congratulations on the new puppy!
Thank you! We just love him!!
Cute puppy!! We had a boxer/pitt mix and she was a beautiful dog but she was so much work! Needed tons of exercise and constant involvement… I think that part of it was because she was a rescue.
We had a pitt/rottweiler mix first, then we got a boxer back in 2004. Our pitt/rott passed away in 2009 and our boxer in 2010, from a fatal disease. It was sooo hard. We had to wait awhile before getting another. Now seemed like a good time. We just absolutely love the boxer breed. Mr. Murphy is super calm for a boxer. It’s really nice!
OH it is so hard to turn down a boxer face. I just love those floppy, squishy faces!! Congrats on the new addition and I am sure you will have him trained in no time. Just make sure to get a crate lol. Hang on you are going for a ride on the fun express. Boxers are hilarious.
I love boxer’s too. They are my favorite breed.
We have a crate, and he’s made it his home. He already goes in there to nap. It’s so sweet.
Cute, cute, cute, and you’ll leave his ears floppy, right? I think they’re so cute with floppy ears!
Absolutely!! I don’t like cropped ears at all.
Oh! He is adorable! I bet he doesn’t jump in the tub and toilet all the time like my cats either! Just remember that- how I see wet cats flying across the house- when he upsets you!
Nope, no tub or toilet jumping! Ha. He might want to drink out of the toilet at some time, but we’ll try to discourage that.
I’m just going to say, heh.heh.heh.
I know, right? But seriously, he’s so good. Jdaddy joked that he deserves the title of puppy of the year.
Oh…he is so adorable. I used to have several boxer puppies and this pic makes me want to go buy one tomorrow!
Too cute!
I love boxers. They are seriously such an awesome breed.
Think long and hard before you go and buy a puppy though. Cute and fun, but LOTS of work.
Oh wow! Adorable!! i have a boxer we rescued from the streets who is our heart and soul!
Aren’t they just the best breed ever? I love them to pieces.
Murphy is MORE than adorable! And that’s the perfect name!
Is this the same breed that Amanda has?
Thank you!
Amanda’s “Baby Dog Daughter” is a boxer mix. She looked more like a boxer when she was a puppy…but you can definitely still see it in her now.
What a cutie! I had that same problem back in December when we got our puppy…but for the most part it has been a good decision!
I remember you posting that you got a puppy, but I don’t remember pictures. Have you posted pics? And what about a name?
What a cutie!
Thank you. He’s a sweetheart (when he’s not eating something he’s not supposed to eat, chewing on my hand, or peeing in the house).
Look at that smile on your face… I’d say that was one pretty awesome moment of weakness!
I took that picture just minutes after we drove away with Murphy. It was a pretty awesome moment of weakness.
