For all those who are considering giving a puppy to your children this holiday, or for those who have already done so in the past......this episode is for you!
In this episode, Larry & Dawne share the heartwarming and hilarious story of how their precious Oakley, an English Cream Golden Retriever, was introduced into Larry's family. Although Larry grew up with dogs, getting a puppy for a growing family of eight children was never something he seriously considered, despite the best persuasion efforts of his daughter Carmel, who had a puppy at the top of her Christmas wish list for 5 years.
But along comes Dawne, a lover of dogs, who thinks it would be a perfect gift for the children. She convinces Larry that it is time, and they embark on the journey to pick out a puppy and surprise the kids on Christmas Eve. But their perfect plan needs to change after a nightmare first night of an overactive bowel system, a nasty rain storm, and no sleep!
Despite the challenges, the gifting of Oakley to the Ambrose children produces the perfect moment when the kids come to the realization that the puppy that Dawne is holding as she walks into their family room, is actually theirs! And Carmel's reaction? Well in the words of the famous commercial...Priceless!
They close by describing how Oakley has perfectly complemented their family and how they could not imagine life without him. So, if you are on the fence on whether or not to gift your kids a new pup....our recommendation is a resounding YES!
