One day, at about 7 p.m., Mom said "Would you like to dogsit? This dog's name is Orry." We replied, "Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" A few days later, Mom went to pick up Orry. Mom didn't like Orry, but we sure did! After a week, we had to take him back to his owners. I was crying -------- EVERYBODY, including Mom (who had grown to love him), as she drove away.
As Mom drove away, she began to laugh! Instead of taking him away, she drove him to a house down the street instead. You see, she and Dad were actually trying him out as our dog. He was up for adoption and Mom and Dad were going to give him to us as a Christmas gift ----- that day was Christmas Eve.
The next day, as we were opening gifts, Mom said, "I hope you like your dog!" Sarah thought she was talking about the purse she got that was a poodle. "I hate it!" I cried. At that very moment, Orry came rushing into the room!! He was our Christmas gift ----------- the best christmas gift EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ORRY!!
