Because we don't have the sense we were born with


Conversation this morning:


Me: The vet appointment went great. Samson is over two pounds now. The vet says all the puppies got snapped up pretty quickly. There's only one left and she might go get him if he doesn't get adopted before Christmas.


The Scientist: There's still one left? Which one?


M: The one I almost brought home. The big one.


TS: Well, that SUCKS. His brothers, sisters and his mother have all been adopted and he's still sitting there, three weeks later?!


M: Yup. She thinks it's because he's so much bigger than the rest and just got overlooked for not being tiny and cute. But, he is cute. Just not as tiny.


TS: Well, this isn't worth a damn. I'm going to shower and put my contacts in. We're going to get him. Call who needs to be called and tell them we'll be there in 30.


And we were.


Samson and Jonah seem to be adjusting well to being back together. Their new matching stockings are hanging on the fireplace and they are loving every second of beating each other up. Typical boys. Like we need more testosterone around here.

That's the Christmas spirit!!! Two years ago we became parents to our 2 mini dachshunds (brother and sister)...I wouldn't have it any other way now! They are perfect playmates, and they love each other so much! They hardly even notice when we leave! Congrats!!!

They are adorable!!! And, I have always heard that it is actually easier to have 2 puppies because they can entertain each other and aren't as lonely!

Merry Christmas!
