Christmas is just around the corner. My best friend lives about a 5 hour or less drive from me. Earlier this spring after about a year of joint custody with her ex-boyfriend he decided to keep the dog and told her she would never see him again. Jenn was going to go to the courts and everything and was ready to but she thought it would be too stressful on the dog so she decided against it. She figued the ex was only doing this as a way of punishing her for leaving him for a much better guy (more on this in the story) It took a lot for her to give up her dog. He was her baby.
Well since about August she has decided her and Dan (new much better boyfriend) would get a puppy. She will talk and talk and talk about getting a puppy and everything. I know deep down she probably thinks by her going and picking out a puppy she is totally abandoning Ridley (the dog) so I know she is half heartedly looking.
Well last week she was up and was asking me if there were any puppies at the SPCA, which there isn't. She also went on about how she bought me a christmas gift that will make me cry.
So I got it in my head that if she is going to make me cry I'm going to make her cry with my gift. I decided to get her a puppy. I called Dan and told him of my idea. I work with her mom so I told her. Dan was for it but said to wait see what kind of place they end up moving to. It might not allow animals. Her mom was learly about it, but she said to give it to her after Christmas day, like boxing day or something.
I got the ads that had the animals for sale and found some lab puppies that would be ready on the 19th of December. I made an appointment to see them this morning. Last night I get a call from Dan saying to go ahead with the puppy.
I went to see the little puppies this morning. They were so cute. 8 black ones and 3 chocolate brown ones. 11 puppies in all. All the chocolate ones were spoken for so I picked out a super friendly male black one. I know when I take Jen on the 26th to pick up the puppy she'll cry. Its going to be a surprise. I'm telling her I'm taking her for breakfast and driving her to the house to get the little guy.
I can't wait to give her the puppy. I think it will be an awesome present for her. I'm going back in a few days to get a picture of it and I'll post it. Its so cute.
I just had to share my idea. I'll fill you in on how it goes when I finally give her the puppy.
