Everyone modeling their new Christmas Jammies
Jason doesn't wear jammies anymore so we found him these boxers with the Grinch on the hiney. Everyone modeled like Jason. :0)
Petey looks like the puppy from the Cottnelle commercials.Well, we finally did it. We got a dog! I wasn't the one that needed convincing. :0) Here is how it happened....
ME: Rob, Randy Schmidt called and said that he is driving to Utah to pick up some dogs. They're free and he is wondering if he should bring us back one, too.
Rob: No.
Later that night.....
ME: I really feel that we should get that puppy. If we don't do it now, we will miss this opportunity. Jason is almost twelve and he has wanted one so badly for such a long time. Pause....they are sooooo cute!
Rob: crickets chirping.........
The next day........
ME: We told the kids that we would get them a dog last year and you have always found an excuse to not get one....
Rob: We need a fence first and we can't afford it right now.
ME: We can put it in the garage. And since I cant have anymore babies, I want a puppy....
5 minutes later.....
Rob: Hey, Randy. I guess we're going to need that dog after all.
I was so excited! We kept the puppy at the Schmidt's house until 5AM Christmas morning. NORMALLY, we tell the kids not to get us out of bed until 7AM. But I was so excited I got up at 5Am and sat and waited.....didn't hear any noises. Rob got home with the puppy and I said, "Go wake up the kids." They came out all bleary-eyed...."what time is it?" "Mom, I heard some whining."
I said, "Uh-oh. Do we have an animal caught in our garage?"
They all run to check. "Be careful!"
They open the door. "Hey, there is a dog in our garage! Who does it belong to?" Checking the tag. "Hey, our number is on the tag! It's our dog!"
BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!!! :0) Rob has become attached to Petey the sweetie, too. He is such a good puppy. He doesn't ever bark and he is almost potty-trained.
I hope everyone had an AMAZING CHRISTMAS! Happy New Year!
