Happy Halloween From Laurie, Fudge, and Vern!

Halloween is fast approaching and while many of you are deciding on costumes for kids or yourself, going to work and doing something useful, or reading a good book, I chose this time to dress up my dogs and make my kids wonder, yet again, if it is time to get help for their mother. This year did not go well and while I know we are not supposed to call our children or dogs bad, which I would never do (wink, wink), I will tell you to choose an adjective from this list taken from the Thesaurus and fill in the blank regarding Fudge and Vern at the end of my story.

Main entry : Bad

Part of speech: Adjective

Definition: Mischievous

Synonyms: disobedient, ill-behaved, misbehaving, wrong, unruly, naughty

Since it was a beautiful Fall day, I decided to do the pictures a little early, because A) I wanted to beat Sheila on a Halloween post in the hopes that my photos will outdo her blingees and winkees and B) My neighbor was gone and there would be no witnesses to my threats and bullying.

Well, once again, my dogs have proven I am no match for them.

First up, were the MVP Football Player and the Cheerleader. I have said many times that Fudge is the brains of the operation and Vern is the brawn. I can just hear F saying, "Isn't that like the pot calling the kettle brawn?" Anyways, the cheerleader was in rare form and took every opportunity to thwart the photo session and even going so far as to attack the MVP and start a game of their own.

Here is the Star Football Player/MVP!

But then the QB started having trouble keeping his helmet on his head:

Next up, the head cheerleader with an attitude problem:

especially after I asked her to let me put her ears in pigtails:

and then the smack down started:

Finally, Vern shook off the cheerleader and we decided to get serious:

A formal portrait....right up until the cheerleader spotted a squirrel:

So, I scratched that idea and decided to break for Lobster.....a LobsterDoodle, that is :)

this was a good sized Lobster, but she wouldn't get in the pot and decided playing ball would be more fun:

Soon, we had a wardrobe malfunction, and Vern sensing a chance to get that ball, made his move:

and before we knew what happened, he was wearing the Lobster, although it was sized for a much smaller Lobster:

Finally, we put the costumes aside and Fudge and Vern, aka Motorcycle Doods, went for a ride, right after they posed for these shots:

So, there you have it. No blingees, no winkies, no really great photos.....only one tired woman, two ______________________ Doodles, and a wish from all of us to have a Happy Halloween!

well, maybe some blinkees :)

I can't even get Sedona to keep a hat on her head for a second - let alone pose in multi-part costumes. My hat's off to you, Laurie!!! Happy Halloween!!!
