Am I Crazy???

I'm sitting here wondering.  Am I crazy?  Have I lost my ever lovin' mind?  Am I going to regret this decision?  I guess only time will tell.  So your probably wondering what I'm talking about and thinking "she really has lost her mind."  For a couple of years now my boys have been begging for a pet and I have been completely against it.  I am not a pet lover.  I just don't care for animals and could go my whole life without ever owning another one.  Chuck has been talking about getting the boys a puppy for Christmas.  My children are very blessed and need absolutely nothing for Christmas.  I received an email through my homeschool loop yesterday afternoon, I bet you'll never guess what it was for.  Puppies for sale!  Well just out of curiosity I emailed the lady and asked her to email me pictures.  She did and I showed them to Chuck and he was like email her back, see if we can go look at them.  So I did and we went to look at two males puppies today.  When we get there my husband of course fell in love with them.  I have to admit they are cute 9 week old Chorkies (1/2 Yorkie, 1/2 Chihuau).So after spending 30-45 minutes with them and talking to the lady Chuck decided this was what he wanted.  Most people would pick the one puppy they like the most and head home but not my husband, noooo.  He says we need them both, that way the boys will have their own.  So me being the awesome wife and mother I am agreed to taking both puppies home.  Not really.  I think that most moms will do whatever to see the joy that something like this brings to their child as long as it's not going to harm them.  It was truly a blessing from God how it all worked out.  The price of the dogs had been taken down 1/2 price due to her stepdad going into the hospital.  Then when I spoke with her this morning she dropped the price another $25 so we could use the money to buy a crate.  When we got to her house and began talking about purchasing both she started adding items.  She gave us two goody bags full of potty pads, a brand new collar and leash for each of them, several play toys, and a bag of food.  Then if that wasn't enough she called her mom and asked if we could have the crate that she brought them over in.  She said yes!!!  On top of all this they already have had their shots, been wormed, dew claws removed, and their tails cropped.  God is awesome!!!  We surprised the boys with them tonight.  Joshua's face was priceless I think he thought he was seeing things. 



They are so funny.  We told them they were getting an early
Christmas present and they wanted to hide their eyes. 




Surprise!!!!

Isaac with his puppy we picked just for him.



Isaac's puppy is more rambunctious than Joshua's so he is perfect for Isaac.




I just love seeing my Isaac giggling





Joshua lovin' on his dog.  You would never in a
million years catch me letting a dog lick my face.

Yep! You have officially lost your mind. I know exactly how you feel about pets. Welcome to my world of insanity. I'm sure you will find a comfy place and learn to dwell happily.

Remember, be prepared to feed and water them, pick up their poo and clean wet spots on the carpet and finally let them out. No, it won't happen right away, but it will happen eventually. It's Murphy's or something like that. lol.

They are very cute and the boys look so happy. BTW, I didn't read what the boys named them. Do you have a Samson and Delilah? Dagwood and Blondie? The Son's of Thunder? Sponge Bob and Patrick? Lucy and Ethel? O.K., you get the picture.

I'm so happy I have a new "crazy" family member. It's time we see a new face in Crazy Town. haha!

Have a great day!
