The title makes it sound like our surprise was one that was wanted and that it was something wanted by all of us. Don't be fooled, the surprise is something wanted by the boys in the family. Who does that leave that did not want the surprise? Me, just me. If you know me at all, you know that I am not much of a dog person. 
Apparently, I am outnumbered in our home, and for Christmas, we were ever so lucky and got a puppy. Yeah (not). Levi, thought it would be a great surprise to find a puppy Christmas morning. I'm pretty sure he knew it would be the only way he would get one. Once the boys saw him, there was no going back. So, Cort and Luke got to wake up to the puppy. Yeah, again (not). Then the dog got to help open presents. So much fun. 
Ok, his name is Titan, he is now 8 weeks old, and we (I) am dealing with him. He whimpers at night, and Levi has to get up w
ith him at night to put him out. What? I didn't get him. We're working on potty training, who knew that would be so hard. Fun times when you put him outside and then he comes back in and goes on the wood floor. But, every now and then he redeems himself and looks cute. Puppies really do know how to use those eyes. And, I've found, that like little boys, puppies are the cutest when they're sleeping. Maybe I'll get lucky and Levi won't read this post. He doesn't need to know all of this. I did tell Luke that if the dog goes to the bathroom one more time on my floor, we are going to have to get rid of him. Luke silently went to his room and started to cry.
Crap!
