As you can see from the pictures....Christmas came early at the JBCoupe household. Last night John and I picked up our gift to the girls....a healthy, 13 lb. Golden Retriever puppy! She is so adorable....her full registered name is "Lady London Percy's Gift"....London for short. She is just the sweetest thing in the world.
Wee one was at my mom's while we picked her up, and Betsy was at work. I went and picked up wee one and when I brought her home, I sat her on the couch and told her that we had gotten a Christmas gift for her and Betsy and it had come early. I emphasised that she had to share it, and that we were going to let them have it that evening. I told her to cover her eyes and JB put the pup on her lap. Her reaction was something I was totally unprepared for....first the "OooooOOOOHHHHH!" and then she burst into tears. She kept saying, "Is this REAL? Am I ALIVE?" LOL....she was so excited. You couldn't have asked for a better reaction!
Later on after 11 when Betsy got home, I met her at the door and said, "Go to your room, your dad and I need to talk to you." The look on her face was priceless. JB went in and told her we had something for her and we made her close her eyes. I put the pup on the bed and told her she could look....she said, "OhmygoshsheissobeautifulIcantbelieveit!!!!" LOL....I do believe my girls were not only surprised but thrilled beyond belief!
She slept so well during the night, only getting up once for a potty run. We got her a cool kennel and she loves it. She went in it on her own this morning and played with her toys. It was so cute! She has had three "oopsies" on the floor....one of which was when John was watching her, so I won't count that one! LOL....she seems to understand what going outside is for, so we are off to a good start. Oh, and the pet spot/stain remover I bought is totally kick butt! You can't see or smell any remnants at all....I'm gonna buy a gallon of it!
Anyhoo....just wanted to share the joy this morning....oh yeah....I can already see that my cleaning routine is going to be thrown waayyyyy out of whack! LOL

OMG! that is the BEST! i have to tell you, i started reading your blog @ a month ago, or around the time you lost percy. i was searching for dog-lovers, because i'd just become one myself, a few months earlier. long story, short, our deucey ran away in denver, co, and was missing for two days; we were heartbroken, yada, yada, yada......anyway, it was at that time i became "hooked" on your journal!!! don't ask me why. my life(style) couldn't be further from yours, but i just LOVE reading it every single day. so......London is SO adorable. i'm sure the girls are ecstatic, and i know you guys are, too. i can't believe how deuce (miniature pinscher) has changed our life. London is going to be one spoiled girl. she's lucky to have a family like you to call her own!!! now, that's what i call HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
p.s. yes, please do tell the name of the pet spot/stain remover. thanks. and have a groovy day!
Oh how fun!!! Our puppy is 13 weeks old now. He was 5 lbs when we got him 5 weeks ago and is now about 8 lbs and a ball of fire. Enjoy London!!
awwwwwwwwww that is to sweet! London is adorable! You are going to have to let me in on what cleaner that is!! Roxi has gotten the outside thing down pretty well but man leave her in the house for a while alone and its pee pee city ewwwwww.
awwwwwwwwww I didn't even finish reading...I had tears of joy in my eyes too! What a wonderful mom you are! God Bless you and your wonderful family!...ps. tears are still rolling down my chees! lol
I've got tears in my eyes. That's soooo cool. London is beautiful.
Sherry she is so beautiful...and the pic with wee one and london, just priceless! I see the tears in her eyes and I almost started crying myself...
What a wonderful surprise! "Happiness is a warm puppy." (Chas Schulz, wasn't it, who coined that phrase? It just says it all.) She is a real beauty, that Lady London! So wise to have introducied her early, avoiding all the turmoil of Christmas Day I'll bet your girls will always remember this Christmas as one of the best.
She is adorable!
