Christmas surprise!!

Our wire hair fox terrier passed away this year. We missed her so much. My husband wanted to get a new puppy. We said no, that a puppy was too much work!

He didn't know it, but we had already planned to surprise him with a new puppy for Christmas.

We put little Nicky in a wrapped box, the top open of course, and gave him his "gift" on Christmas Eve. What a surprise! We all cried with excitement!
