Incogcheeto

There are a couple parts to this story that you need be up to date on:
1. Ashely gave us the name of the breeder that she got Burrito from. I have contacted the breeder and she told me that she will have puppies ready in February and April. With Jon's urging we have decided to save and get a pup in April.

2. I am awful at surprises. Just awful. I always end up finding out accidentally, I swear it is always accidental. And then I feel bad for ruining the surprise.

3. I may or may not have the tendency to over react big time.

Okay now that you are up to date I can continue. 

I was looking at pictures of bulldogs online and whining because I wanted our puppy now. Not in April.

Now this is where I lose it and where the word "sensibly" should be swiped right off my blog header and thrown into the Internet trash for all of eternity (damn I am dramatic). I can't just leave things be. I keep whining about how I really wish we had decided to get the dog in February and not April. But he won't budge and says April will give us enough time to save etc. etc.

Jon re-assures me it will all work out. I ignore him.

And then as I tend to, I may have gotten a little dramatic about the whole situation. I started to cry and say "cooome oooon let's get the dog in February". He continues to say no and flat out ignores my pleas.

And then Jon pulls the wet hair off of my face and smiles with those dimples, oh the dimples and says "you know you are kind of ruining the surprise, I am going to buy you the dog for Valentine's day, actually I was going to sit him in a stainless steal food dish with a big red bow around his neck...I was trying to be incogcheeto*..."

And then I just sit there feeling like a giant toolbox. And then I cry a little more because yay our dog and boo I ruined what could have been the sweetest surprise . 
So yeah, Bulldog=February if all goes as planned.
Please tell me you have ruined surprises before....

oh and Jon was referring to this when he said "incogcheeto"
So as you can imagine I am THRILLED that we are going to have our little puppy in one month!! Yesssss! I can't believe it. Even though Jon and I have been together for such a long time getting a puppy is something we have never experienced. It's a big step and I can't wait.

La Petite Chic said...

How exciting!! A mini Burrito!! Oh, and I always ruin surprises too. Accidentally, of course! :)

See Sherm Blog said...

NO WAY!!! That is soooo exciting!! So I totally would have ruined that Rocco was a surprise for me for Christmas 2006 had we not been getting married 6 weeks later. I had been pushing and pushing for a dog for months (and had even gone as far as picking a white bulldog out of a local litter and naming it Lily and referring to her all the time), but thought I would ease up a bit until after our wedding... and of course that is when Kyle surprised me. ;-)

So you may not be surprised anymore. OH well... but now you can have the excitement of waiting for him/her and preparing your home. You can pick out names and doggy beds! HA... its like your "expecting" just like me. :-) Except our little babe comes in May... so I have to wait just a few months longer.

Have you picked out a name? Has John already reserved a dog? boy/girl? So if you get the puppy in February, that means its already been born! Do you have puppy pics from the breeder?

p.s. Incogcheeto made me laugh out loud.

Aww that's so exciting that you're getting your puppy soon! I always ruin my boyfriends surprised accidentally, he got me the cardy UGG boots that I really wanted for Christmas but I accidentally stumbled on a printout of them a week before Christmas. Whoops! Have fun with the puppy :-)

faith said...

Sara McGinness said...

I have to agree with Ashley that ruining surprises is in our girl DNA, I can't even start to tell you how many surprises I have ruined and crushed.

BUT anyways....a new puppy!!!!! so exciting puppies are amazing and they are a fun (and tiring -not gonna lie) experience for couples.

you have to show us pictures and I can't wait to hear what you name him/her!

A. I totally ruined our 5th wedding anniversary when Jonathan was planning on surprising me with a trip to Jamaica. I totally found out beforehand while surfing on his computer.

B. YAY FOR A PUPPY!!!! Welcome to the club, dude. :)

sarah marie p said...

Congrats Sass!! Eeeeee! SO excited for you! And jealous! :) That's so, so fun that you're going to have your own lil Burrito brother or sister! Awwww! So adorable! Can't wait to see pictures! And so soon - next month! WOWZERS! And, as you know, I have ruined a big surprise too!

Sarah said...

ZOMG! I am SOOOOO excited for you! SO SO SO excited! We got our Boston Terrier puppy a year and a half ago and even though he's a crazy-handful I love him more than just about anything on earth. Certainly more than most people! I don't really remember my (carefree) life before him. I'm so happy for you.

Don't worry about ruining the surprise, but man oh man, your sweetie made a wicked awesome effort and deserves a ton of points for that. He rocks.

Incogcheeto! That killed me.

Lacey Bean said...

I am SO jealous! I want a bulldog so bad, but we have to wait until we live in a place that allows pets. :(

Can't wait to meet your new addition in February!!

Katelin said...

SLynnRo said...

Becs said...

LOL you so sound like me! I would do the same thing. Congrats on getting a puppy!!!!

Allison said...

Aaaaahhhhh bwahahahahaha Incogcheeto is hilarious. I definitely laughed out loud at that picture and then died a little. I'm so happy for you that you get a puppy and you're getting one in one month. That is amazing news. Unfortunately Andrew won't budge and I won't be getting one. Someday though. I hope.

Daddy Dan said...

See what whining gets you? You've ruined the surprise, but you're getting the dog! Oops, I guess whining does work. =)

I'm sure this website will soon be turning into the Blog of the Bulldog! I'm excited for you guys. Dogs are great.
