Does Anyone Want to Sign These Two to a Contract??

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Fudge loves to play ball. Usually, Vern runs after one ball, gets it, and Fudge takes it out of his mouth, and he is done chasing the ball. He may still chase Fudge, however, or try nonchalantly to get the ball when Fudge is not looking. Sometimes, when Fudge starts to get tired, I make her sit and throw the ball to her to catch. If she catches it in her mouth, I almost always yell, "Airbud!" and throw my arms up in the air like she just got a touchdown. Vern likes this part of the game and decides sometimes he wants in on the action. If I tell Fudge to sit, often times he will sit right down and look at me like it is his turn. Fudge almost always catches the ball. I would say 95% of the time Vern does not catch the ball. Oh, he gives it his best effort, leaps in the air, and we all watch as it rolls down his front. It never phases Vern and frankly, I think he likes to make me laugh or at least, that it what I like to tell myself. How many of you have a dog that is part Retriever and can not catch a ball to save his/her life?

 

This is What Happens If Vern Catches the Ball...Fudge says, "I don't think so!" Same thing happens if he fetches the ball!

Yeah Vern one out of fifty is great!!!!! We'll sign you but you will be warming the bench for awhile Fudge will be the starter, sorry. Laurie they are SO cute. Mine cannot catch a ball. They can retrieve it and run away with it but they will NEVER bring it back to you.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thanks, Jennifer. Vern puts so much effort into it too :) Fudge could play ball all day.

[Sue, Lola, Pongo & Hubby]

HILARIOUS. Lola's actually getting better with the catching. She'll catch it pretty often now, but before this summer (when my DH insisted on extensive catch training) the ball would bounce right off her face. EVERY TIME. I felt so bad for her, she worked so hard at it!! Keep practicing, Vern...you'll get it eventually!! Keep up with the awesome videos, I love watching Fudge and Vern in action!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thanks, Sue. The funny thing is when we were filming, Vern caught TWO balls and he never catches any usually. You can hear my DD and me and our surprised voices. Good job, Lola!!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

OMD!! These are cracking me up!! Fudge is a NATURAL!! She goes right to the majors!! But I'm afraid that Vern is going to have to go back to pee wee  training camp for a while longer!  Love that you learned to insert videos!! :-D

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Ricki, You can thank Karen for helping me, otherwise I would still be clicking away and cursing :) I am getting a visual on 90 pound Vern at Pee Wee camp....LOL!

[Anna and Achilles]

You just gotta love that Vern!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thanks, Anna!

[Camilla and Darwin]

Darwin never catches stuff either. LOL. It usually just bounces off his face

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Vern and Darwin could play on the same team. LOL

[BG and Gavin]

Poor Vern reminds me of a rather unreliable outfielder we had on our ball team.  My mother would leave the game shaking her head and saying "that girl could not catch a cold!"

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

BG, Love that expression from your mom. Poor Vern can't catch a cold :)
