The dog experience

We actually got our dog about 6 years ago. It's a funny story how we came to get our dog. We went to an adoption center in Nassau County. It was me, my bro, my sis, and my dad. It was my sister's birthday, and she had been bugging my dad to get a dog for the longest time. My dad finally agreed, and we didn't tell our mom about it. We picked out the cutest little Shepard coli mix they had. We were at the front adopting the puppy, and they had to call my house, and talk to my mom about where this dog would be living. In our head, we were thinking that we would take our dog home and surprise my mom, and she wouldn't be able to say no. When they called, she had no idea what was going on, and she said hell no, is any dog coming to my house. We were so upset, because we couldn't get the dog since my mom said no. We stood outside, and my dad called my mom, aggravated. Turned out my mom called them back and gave them the OK, and we came home with our dog. It was a win win situation, I guess you can say...
