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.
Thank You Very Much to Murphy, who eats anything and everything outside. It’s seriously ridiculous. If he’s not on a leash, he’ll immediately run to the mulch and grab a mouthful. Then he runs like a maniac around the yard, making it impossible to catch him. As soon as he’s eating enough of the mulch, he’ll then pick up some dry leaves, or sticks, or rocks, or whatever else he can fit into his mouth and do the whole “run around like a maniac” thing again.
And another for Murphy, Thank You Very Much for using me as your personal chew toy. For the record, I am NOT a chew toy. I’m the only one that you insist upon chewing on my hair, sweater, pants, hands, etc. Perhaps I should take it as a compliment, but no. No. That is just not a compliment. STOP IT.
And before you think that I should dedicate this TYVM to Murphy, I have one more.
To Buster, who, to make a long story short, went missing yesterday while at my inlaws (who live on a lake), Thank You Very Much for simultaneously giving me a panic attack and aging me at least 10 years. I swear there’s nothing worse than not being able to find your child, especially when you’re around a large body of water. Thankfully (for real), we found him at the neighbors house, safe and sound.
What do you want to Thank this week?

Oh dear Lord I would have had a heart attack as well. Glad he was found safe and sound..
Me too. It was a stressful 10 minutes.
I would of had a heart attack near a lake with a missing child. So glad he is safe.
Have you considered putting moth balls in with the mulch?
Thank you…me too.
I’ve never heard of moth balls in the mulch. Does that work?
It should work…moth balls prevent dogs from digging. It should keep them out of mulch.
Sikes, how scary! I’m glad you found him and he was ok!
It was very scary. When I found him, I was both so angry and relieved at the same time.
Oh my! That is pretty scary!
I was thinking of you the other day… I was over there visiting my parents.
Next time you head out this way, if you have extra time, let me know!
The missing kid would have given me a heart attack! How scary!
It was very scary, and I don’t tend to panic much, but I was in full panic mode.
Oh my goodness, my heart stopped just reading about Buster missing. Even though I knew that if you were writing about it that he was safe and sound I still held my breath until I was done. *Big breath*
Puppies- so cute and so much work!
I feel like I pretty much held my breath the entire time until we found him. I hate being that scared.
Thank you very much to Big Girl who thinks she is old enough to leave the restroom at the truck stop by herself and walk back to the car. Talk about having a heart attack. I was right there with you.
Oh my gosh, yeah, that’s totally heart attack worthy.
Well, I will be glad my cats only jump on me and eat my toes then! I lost Asher a few weeks ago and felt the same. What a horrid feeling!
It’s a terrible feeling. I’m glad you found Asher.
I want a puppy!
Hubby wants to wait until Studley the dog lives his last day as he feels it wouldnt be fair to the old dog to bring a new one home……..
How about you come and potty train Murphy for us. You’ll get your puppy fix, and I’ll get some help.
Wow so scary about Buster! I am glad he was safe. I think I aged some too just reading that!
Your crazy dog. hahahaha. I could just hear Jim Carrey as the Grinch, “That is not a chew toy!” hahahaha
I am constantly telling him I’m not a chew toy. Little punk. He really ticked me off the other night and I think I scared him enough (only because it hurt so bad and I yelled) that he is now being a little better.
So so glad Buster was okay- and holy cow yea I would be totally freaking out.
Thanks! I was a mess. When I found him, I was angry and relieved and fighting back tears.
