Last Friday, Dave's office had their annual Christmas party, along with their annual white elephant gift exchange. Dave's good gifts kept getting stolen, so he kept going back to the pile. By the end of the game, there is one big box left in the pile. Dave's options were to either steal the Lucha Libre mask and tights or open the box. He chose the box.
Inside this reused box was a $30 gift card to CC's Coffeehouse... right underneath a black lab mix puppy.
A week before our wedding, the general manager's lab mix had a litter of six puppies. As a gag, she and another guy from the office had the brilliant beyond brilliant idea to use one of the puppies as part of the gift. She never meant for the person who picked the box to keep the puppy, unless of course the person in question wanted to keep the puppy.
What would you do?
That's right, totally keep the a-freaking-dorable lab puppy. Merry Christmas to us!
(For those of you keeping track at home, we now have four furbabies, two dogs, one dog-like cat and one cat like dog.)
Re: Did I really just get a puppy for Christmas?
Keep it for me! In 9 months I'l trade you a baby for a lab. The lab should be housebroken by then, right? LOL.
Seriously, though, J. Keep it. Labs are awesome dogs!
Haha! That's awesome! That has to be the best white elephant gift ever!
We are totally keeping it. The "bigger" dogs and the cat all think he's the latest interactive toy.
And Sarah, let me pass that by Dave. He's more than a little attached to this buddah bellied little tinkler. And fresh infants terrify him.
Big, big like the moon...
