On Sunday, the door bell rang and a "UPS package" appeared on the front porch. There was a card taped to the top for Jadin and Brody. Inside the card, Santa proceeded to explain that there was a gift inside the box that could not wait until Christmas. Santa went on to say that he and Mrs. Claus were too busy making toys and getting ready for the BIG night to take care of this present. Needless to say, he asked if Jadin and Brody would mind taking care of the present a little early and he would check in on it on Christmas Eve.
All the while the card is being read aloud, the box is moving all around the porch. Jadin, in GREAT anticipation, rips open the box to find a puppy with a bright red bow.
Meet. Dodger.
Yes, we know.... two boys, a baby on the way and now a puppy. We have been experiencing the weight of our decision the last few nights as the dog has to go out every few hours. Standing on the back porch at 3 am waiting for a dog to pee really makes you feel a little thing called regret. But, then you look at that face and remember why you are a glutton for punishment.
