So let me give you some history on this before I jump right into the story of Kellys Christmas this year.
When I was little we kids wanted a dog, well my Mom got us a dog even though we all knew my Dad didn't want a dog - not even a little. Well to make him "LIKE" the dog a little more or warm up the idea that we got a dog we named him FANTA after a coke drink since my Dad works for coke. Can't hate something that you do for a living right? Yeah well he didn't like the dog, our plan failed. But we kept the dog anyway and he was the best dog EVER!!
Well when Kelly and I got married maybe 6 months to a year into our marriage I decided I wanted a dog, but I have always wanted a Lab. Well we lived in an apartment and we didn't have the room for a Lab, nor could we have a dog. Well I was trying to convice Kelly we needed a dog so I told him this story of my Dad and Fanta. He then asked me what I would name a dog so he would like the dog better.... Well I came up with Router. And we ended up getting Router (a much smaller dog which I love more now, little poops are enough to clean up, couldn't imaginve Lab poop) Well then we have always wanted to either breed Router (if you know of any girl dogs that need a boyfriend let me know) or to get another one like him. Well to keep on the theme of naming our dogs the way we do we said we would name our next dog Lap Top.
Okay now to present day:
Kelly had been telling me for months before Christmas that he wanted a Lap Top (the computer not the do) and that I needed to call his friend Ryan to help pick out a good one. Well on cyber Monday I did just that... I ordered him the lap top he wanted and the one his friend told me to buy. But I played and toyed with him ALL month long. We even had deep conversations about getting him a Lap Top. I even went as far as asking him what Dave Ramsey would say about getting a lap top (yes he listens to him on the radio...that and others *SIGH*) anyway I had him convinced he wasn't getting one...or so he thought. He really didn't know. Well then I had this brillant idea one day at work. The Humane Society comes to my work once a week to show off a pet of the week, to help sell the animals they are boarding. Well on the day she came in she had a Dorkie puppy. Those are a mich between a dauchsund and a yorkie. Really really cute dogs!!! I could have taken him hom that day. Well I asked her if she had any adoption paperwork on her that I could have (not buying a dog, just for Kellys present) She did, lucky day!! So I went home and filled out this paperwork with the information on a fake dog that I was going to tell Kelly that I had purchased for him.... his LAP TOP!!
So here is Kelly opening his LAP TOP. Yes I even put the framed paperwork in a lap top box and had a whole heep load of paper and wrapped it and had in under the tree for days. So he thought he was getting a lap top for sure, because the box was the size of the lap top and heavy as one. To make it even better I had even wrapped his old broken lap top and given that to him as well. But he realized his old one was missing and ruined that surprise. So Christmas morning he opening his "lap top" Well to say the least he wasn't to excited about it, in fact he was down right disturbed about it. This picture doesn't show the dissapointmen he had when he opened the box as he did that morning. Well he then went downstairs to compose himself, look up the type of dog it was and try to be happy for the present he was given. Well at that moment he had found a pee spot that Router had left behind. It was the turning point he wasn not ready for a dog. So he had to come find me and discuss this.
Wel I was feeding Kairi and getting her ready for a nap when he comes in. He just kind of sat there and small chatted with me. I could tell that something was bothering him, or tha the wanted to talk about something and I was laughing so hard inside. Well then he starts to ask me about this dog, and if we are ready for another dog and how he likes his life the way it is, and how he doens't have time to train another puppy. and on and on he goes. He askes if we can return the dog cause he just doens't want it. Well right on the paperwork I gave him it says no refunds. I tell him that we have some people in our ward that was looking for a dog for Christmas and maybe they would buy it. But then I look at him and I started to cry - REAL tears and all and ask him: "You don't like my present I gave you?" Yep I crushed him at that moment he felt like a big ball of poo. So I left the room crying with him saying as I am leaving... we can keep the dog. I go into the kitchen trying not to laugh but pointing out to him mom I have real tears and he is really broken up about this dog. He felt like CRAP!!
Then the rest of his family got to his Mom's house and we got to open up the rest of our chirstmas presents.
Can you see the excitment on my face!!!!!!!!!
So our new Lap Top is now named Dorkie our newest pet to our family!
Love you Kelly!!!! It was a Christmas we wont forget anytime soon. He is even going to keep the framed paperwork of our "dog" and keep it in his Man cave just as a reminder of how great I really am!!!! Merry Christmas Babe!
