April Fools!

Today is April Fool's Day and I am so happy that I finally, FINALLY "punked" Steve.  I've never been able to fool him about anything (because I'm a horrible liar) and today I finally did it.

I asked Michael if he could Photoshop a picture of a fake dog onto a photo of Owen's chair we keep in our living room.  He said yes and the photo to the left is the finished product.  I emailed it along with a semi-believable story to Steve.

Steve knew I was having lunch with my friend Rebecca today, so I decided to use her as my lie because I had absolutely no reason to leave the house today in order to stumble upon a puppy and Steve would have known that.

So here is the email I sent to him and that he fell for - hook, line and sinker.

Sooooo...Rebecca came over today and apparently Hans brought home a puppy last week and they can't keep it because their cat is going crazy. She brought it over today to show me and Owen was so cute with it, I told her to leave him here and we'll "try" it for a few weeks.  His name is Spikers, but we can change it. :)

He just seems so at home here!!!! Charlie is in love.

Steve called me and after I told him that he got punked, he actually seemed disappointed!  But a puppy is seriously the last thing we need right now and I can't believe he thought I would have taken that on when I can barely handle the living creatures we have now.  I'm preparing for next year's retaliation.  It will probably be a real puppy.
