Dave has a daughter but we have no kids together. What we do have is 3 dogs, 2 cats and numerous fish...fish that keep multiplying because unbeknownst to us, we ended up with the fish- tank of love and procreation, folks!
Because of the non-existent human baby between the two of us, our dogs, unfortunately, get treated like our children! Therefore, each and every four-legged creature in our home has their very own Christmas stocking. Their very own Christmas stocking that gets proudly displayed in our family room! OK, wipe that incredulous look off your face!
These are the dog's three stockings (Duke's is the one on the far left, Angel's is the one in the middle and Frisco's is the one on the far right.)
Frisco's stocking says, "Favorite Dog," and it contains a picture of Frisco and Angel. For the past few years they have shared a stocking and been none the wiser and happier because of it!
Well, last year, on Dec. 18, we got our newest addition. An adorable hobo puppy that we named Duke. If you ever check my blog's comments you might, in the future, see a comment to this post from my wonderful sister-in-law accusing me of "Indian-giving" Duke to their family. What you have to remember, folks, is that she likes Tom Brady and can anyone who likes Tom Brady really be trusted? Remember that if you read a comment from her regarding crushing a dear little boy's hopes and dreams of acquiring the most adorable dog in the world and think to yourself, "Would Missy ever do such a thing?" Nah, nope, never, not me!
Oh crap, is that my nose growing? Did I just type that out loud? Oh well.
Wow, it's so easy for me to get sidetracked!
So, long story short, my mission on Dec. 26 last year was to get a stocking for Duke, our new addition. Dave ended up going shopping with my sister-in-law and me and while we did end up with a great stocking for Duke, Dave found this:
It was 50% off because everything is 50% off the day after Christmas. Dave fell in love with this stocking for our dog, Angel. If you look closely you'll see that it already has her name on it. He then became convinced that Angel needed her own stocking and so he bought it.
I love that Dave loves our dogs this much because I love our dogs that much, too. I am very passionate about animals; so, it works well for our marriage that he's an animal lover too...though I don't think he ever intended on having as many pets as we do; but, oh well!
I never intended on having to display, year after year, a stocking that I think is hideous! I mean, it's BABY BLUE, folks! Baby blue with fake fur, silver wings and a funny, fake, blue stone! OMG! And, just to let you know, the picture above doesn't do this stocking justice, it's much tackier in real life than it is in the picture! So, at night when I'm happily admiring our Christmas decor, and my eyes wonder to Angel's stocking, I sit, stare and sigh, at her hideous stocking and then I feel bad for poor Angel that she has such a hideous stocking and I think that she deserves better, our poor pudgy dog that she is! But, Dave won't let go of that stocking. He just loves it. UGH.
ACCUSE you of being an Indian Giver??
ReplyDeleteHa, I don't need to do that, I have the TRUTH on my side.
Question: Missy, did you take one dog home with the intention of holding it until CHRISTMAS morning for my dear four year old son?
Question 2: Ms. "LET's See", Did you decide after speaking to me, falsely getting my hopes up, that you would rather keep this dog for yourself?
Question 3: Little Ms. Proof is in the Pudding, Who is in the possession of an animal that was supposed to be under my tree?
Hmmm... I rest my case. (And thankfully I don't have to feed that horse, so I guess the joke was on YOU!)
lol.... tsk tsk tsk.
Do you kiss your mama with that full o' bull mouth? Ha!!!
And one more thing, TOM BRADY has never had anything to do with dogs, that was Michael Vick. And you better be quiet... anyone who doesn't think that man is hot SHOULDN"T be trusted!
