The mind-blowing surprise of the family's Christmas-Hanukah celebration at the girls' godmothers' house?To the amazement of The Papaya, Elf and The Grump, Dash, a 10-week-old Sheltie, joined the family last night. The girls took some convincing we were actually letting them take him home.
"Really? He's ours?" They kept saying. "Dad's not going to say, 'Just kidding?'"
(Even I'm not that cruel.)
And when it finally sunk in, Elf burst into tears of joy and Papaya kept bouncing like a jumping bean. The Grump, being the Grump, remained seated on the sofa, emphatically gesturing with her hands like an overwhelmed Larry King. "I can't believe it! I can't believe it!"
Dash was the gift Elf's godmother, Jackie, gave the girls -- the culmination of a surprise that has been in the works since August.
He's adorable, cuddly and smart. And best of all? He's already using the papers and going outside.
The girls, shocked and not believing Jackie's announcement that dog she's just placed in Elf's lap is actually theirs to take home, take some convincing.

You were so desperate to have another man in that house full of women. Pathetic.
