I was so scared back then!
Today Murphy got a yak chew for his Gotcha Day. I don’t know if there is a significant amount of sugar in those things, but he has been a bouncy little spaz all evening. (I love it!) This tiny boy was so scared for so long that I didn’t think he would ever come out of his shell.

Come see what my other boys have been up to in Dream Our World.
Inside Dream Our World, Bitey and Toby visit the museum of their dreams, view the world or art from a canine perspective and enjoy a day of unsupervised fun.
Dream Our World and other fine gifts are available from my shop at L Bowman Studios.

Well, I hope you gave a big paws up to your great human for not giving up on you. You look awesome, Murphy and may you have many more happy Gotcha Days ahead.
I’m a little worried. When I adopted Murphy he had an undisclosed heart murmur. He has done really well on medication, but lately he has started coughing again. I hope he has many more happy days ahead too!
Happy Gotcha Day!
Thank you! (Did you bring cake, by any chance?) – Murphy
happy gotcha day sweet pup! I love that smile!
Thank you!
Mom wishes I’d smile for the camera more often.
he’s so cute 🤍
Aw, thank you!
He looks so happy!
I think he is happy, but he takes such lousy pictures. 😆
How is your little girl doing?
Little steps forward all the time, but she’s in no hurry.
Murphy wasn’t either. On the plus side, each accomplishment is treasured even more for how hard they were to achieve. ❤️
Happy Gotcha Day, good boy!!!
Thank you so much! ❤️
DEAREST PUPPY ALL IS GOOD NEVER HAVE FEARS AGAIN
YOU ARE LOVED AND WANTED AND NEEDED
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I had enough sorrow for one lifetime already. So happy to put all that behind me! 😊
Happy Gotcha’ Day, Handsome Murphy! 🙂 Happy Gotcha’ Day to your sweet Mom, too! 🙂
What a difference some time makes! We’re so glad you and your mom found each other! 🙂 We wish you many many many more Gotcha’ Days together! 🙂
I send (((HUGS))), PATS and ❤️
Coop sends sniffs, woofs, and ❤️
Thank you for your happy wishes, Cooper & mom! Hope you guys are having a fantastic start to the new year! ❤️💕😄
Happy Gotcha Day, Mr. Murphy! You are the bestest of the goodest boys!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woof! Glad somebody noticed. Can you talk to mom about me getting more Good Boy biscuits?
Doesn’t your mom make you cookies ? We make some with baby food that Maverick loves!
Moms make cookies?!? 😮
They sure do!
I feel so cheated!
I can’t believe your mom doesn’t bake for you! All she needs is two jars of baby food, two eggs, about two and a half cups of flour- mix it all up, roll it in balls and bake for about 45 minutes at 350. Then freeze them and give you one every time you ask!
So…they last about a day? – Murphy
Maybe two days!
😆
Murphy – Happy Gotcha Day! We’re so glad you landed in the safety and love of your mom’s care! You have a sweet smile, and mom says you’re handsome. Wishing you many more happy Gotcha days. Love, Pippin (oh, and mom, too)
Thank you, guys! I hope you and your mom are having great adventures too, Pip! – ❤️ Murphy
Happy Gotcha Day! May you have many returns.
Thank you! – Murphy
