Fudge's Diary Entry for April 11, 2012!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Dear Diary,

Today was the best day ever and it isn't even over yet!  My mom was supposed to go away today, but her plans got cancelled. Luckily, she had already planned for our dog sitter to take us today and so at 10:00 am, our dog sitter showed up to take us to her house. I think my mom has been feeling guilty lately, since she takes Vern to a Saturday class and yesterday took him to another dumb class. I had to stay home by myself. When our dog sitter showed up, she had her dog in the car. He is a big Doberman named Ajax and one of Vern's and my best friends in the whole wide world. We got to play in our yard for awhile and then Ajax came in the house and started eating our food. He got in trouble with his mom.

Anyway, when it came time for us to get in the car, mom told our dog sitter that I got to decide what I wanted to do today. Sometimes, I just like to stay home with mom, but Vern always wants to go with our dog sitter. He loves her and mom said Vern can be a traitor sometimes, but then she laughed. Well, I went over and sat by our dog sitter because she gives good head scratches, but when she said, "OK Fudge, hop in the car," I went over and sat by my mom.  That made mom smile real big and she said, "Fudge, I always know you love me best."  Guess what happened next?  I got to stay home without Vern and when they pulled out of the driveway, mom said I was doing a happy dance.

As soon as they left, mom said to me that today was National Fudge Day and we were going to have some fun.  First, I took a nap, though, because I love naps and Vern is always waking me up with his cold nose.  After my nap, we went to the park and I got to smell in all the groundhog holes and Vern did not push me out of the way. I got to see geese and walk on the boat ramp. Next, we went to the ATM and mom went through the Dunkin' Donut drive thru and got a bagel. I don't eat people food, but it smelled really good.

I am going to take another nap now, before my brother gets home and then mom said we can go out and play ball when I get up. I LOVE National Fudge Day!!!

Here I am waiting in the car for the fun to start:

It was really windy today and even rained and hailed a little. I don't know what I was doing in this picture, but maybe I was shaking off the rain that just started.

I was trying to figure out how to catch these two geese, but mom wouldn't put my leash down.

This is our pretty lake, but I didn't want to look at the camera, because I was watching for squirrels.

I hope everyone gets to eat a piece of delicious Fudge on my National Fudge Day!

I love one on one time with my mom or dad, but I did miss Vern! Love, Fudge

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

Aww Fudge!!! I'm so glad you got a day with your Mom! Your lake is beautiful and so is your "shaking" dance! I don't have fudge here, but I do have a yummy milk chocolate turtle from the Easter Bunny that I will have in your honor!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

A yummy milk chocolate turtle sounds better than Fudge, but I'm not allowed to have either :( No fair on National Fudge Day!!! LOL

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

Oh Fudge, you are too cute. I love when I get to spend quality time with each of my doodles too. Those times are few and far between, but they always feel so special.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

It doesn't happen too often here either, but it is nice when it does :)

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Fudge you are the luckiest doodle today, and what makes it best is no guilt for Mom because Vern also had a fun day.

I love how long your ears are...we just cut Daisy's short cause I think it makes her look younger. You are both so beautiful.

Sounds like Fudge and Daisy like the same things, napping and going to the lake. Glad you got to spend the day with Mom, Moms are great!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thank you, Lisa! We did have a great girl's day out today :) By the end of the day, she was waiting by the window for Vern to come home!! Twins, ,for sure!!

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Oh, and I see your wearing a Daisy collar - looks good on you!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thank you!! It is one of many collars :)

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Woo Hoo...National Fudge Day ROCKS!  It sounds like you and your Mom had some very special time and lots of fun.  I love the pictures.  Our house is full of chocolate after Easter, and I'll be thinking of National Fudge Day with every chocolate egg and bunny that I eat today.  Thank your Mom for sharing your story with us, Fudge.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

We had so much fun! My mom says to tell you to send a chocolate bunny this way. Her Easter Bunny forgot to bring a basket this year :) LOL

[F, Calla & Luca]

I think you are one lucky doodle. And since I had to go to Queens, which might as well be outer Mongolia, and take my sister's California friends out to lunch in Manhattan, I had to get a maple walnut cone on my way home. Now I know it was really in honor of National Fudge Day. Poor Calla and Luca, they never get alone, from one another, time : (  Oh yes they do, Calla is downstairs as I type and Luca is preventing me from stretching out my legs, what else is new?
