A couple weeks ago I came home from working at Petsmart to hang out with my mom. Just another normal day.
She says to me "The neighbor has some puppies"
"Really?? Well lets go take a look" I say.
So we walk out back and ask them if we can see the puppies. We see a bundle of black and a little brown across the yard moving all slow. One of the girls picks up a black and a brown one and walks them over to us. My mom looks at each of them and decides to hold the brown one. I take the black one. She looks at his face and says "I might have to talk to my husband about this one"
In my head I say "Who are you??" Actually it must have been out loud cuz I got a giggle as a response.
My dad was down the street working so I took the liberty of running over there to tell him that "Mom" needs him. He lets out a big sigh and says "What does she need" I say, "I cant tell you". At this point I am sure he is not looking forward to finding out what this little secret is. He says he will be home in about 15 minutes. Well, thats 15 minutes too long for me but I tell him thats fine and go home.
I wait impatiently for him to come home while talking with my mom about how awesome having a dog is. As if she hasnt had one before.
He comes home and she says "Sooooo.....We looked at those puppies"
"So"
"So there is one thats really cute...."
"And"
"And I might want it"
(Sigh)
This went on for a bit with him being silent and us not knowing what the sighs and silence really meant.
The decision was ultimately made by my mom. I had nothing to do with it of course :)
"Ok, Ill take him"
I was seriously the happiest girl in the world. And it wasnt even my dog!
I ran to the neighbors and said
"We will take him!"
A little over a week later
He arrived.
