no, this wasn't amy's idea. we went to sundance resort to take photos and when we were leaving, we saw these three guys having lunch and they had this cute dog, named oscar. amy asked if we could take a picture with him and they agreed. i thought it would be fun to send a christmas card with that joke printed on it. (it's that old joke about the lady with a pig under her arm, who says, "i got a pig for my husband." and her friend says, "good trade.") so far, men think it's funny. women think it's terrible, until they think about it...then they chuckle – but it's still mean.
