Why Fudge and Vern Will Not Be Going on the Doodle Cruise!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

There is a lot of talk about the upcoming Doodle Cruise in October, 2012, that Jane (Rooney &Stuart) is organizing.

People are also asking if their doodles are invited and unfortunately, the cruise is only for humans. Even if doodles were invited, Fudge and Vern would not be going and here are some reasons why:

 

First of all, what do dogs even bring on a cruise. Vern eats a lot and I would have to bring a huge amount of food. What if we are out to sea and we run out of dog food? I over pack with just my stuff. How would I fit all that food into my suitcase?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fudge is not a great swimmer and needs a life jacket most of the time. What if they don't have her size on the boat for the ship's pool? If my suitcase is full of my stuff and Vern's food, how am I going to get a life jacket in there too?

Another big worry....what would happen if they went overboard because they saw a fish in the water and decided to try and catch it.

I think this captain would turn the boat around and pick them up in the water:

But, does this guy look like he would:

I cannot even imagine what Vern would do if he saw this big guy in the water:

Or this on deck: (Remember he is afraid of Lawn Chairs)

It would be fun, though, if they could do this in the water:

 

We have a real problem keeping their water dishes full at night. I am afraid they might resort to this on the cruise:

Also, Fudge and Vern like to party. My husband and I go to bed early and they could sneak out and get in a lot of trouble. We have all heard of shipboard romances and Fudge does like the bad boys. What if this is what she is doing, while we are sleeping:

Don't get me started on Vern. He can be a follower and if he gets mixed up with the wrong crowd  our trip could be ruined:

Finally, we have all heard about pirates on the open seas and I bet Labradoodles could be a hot commodity on the Black Market. I cannot have anything happen to my Doodles by a group of these guys:

So, all things considered, my two doods are staying home where they are safe and sound.

Thank goodness I have a daughter who I force to help me with some of my pictures ;)

Oh, I needed a good laugh today, thanks Laurie.  : )  Love your posts!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thanks, Ann!

[Denise & Sophie]

Thank you again for making me laugh on an otherwise stressful day! Thank you!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Glad I could help, Denise :)

You are tireless!! I'm beginning to think you should stay home too. Some of those guys look like animals.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Hahaha, F!! I think you should come on the cruise too. Stay home and miss this opportunity to meet a bunch of crazy doodlers....no way!!

[F, Calla & Luca]

I would love to meet you. Maybe one day we'll meet in the middle, NJ to PA. This cruise is way too far away to plan now for me. I think I'm not a big cruise ship person.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I am starting to wonder if I am or not....LOL! We need to do a romp somewhere between our house and yours....or we could do it in your back yard. I can see 60 doodles in that beautiful yard. My DH and I have been married for 33 years and we have never gone on a really big trip...sad, but true. We always go to Indiana to see family or NC to see family. We seem to like home best, but we both want to go to Alaska and of course, Oregon, to see a DD. Somehow, we raised a world traveler.......

[F, Calla & Luca]

Mi yard su yard. OK I never took Spanish. But you are most welcome to drop by with your doodles and any others whenever. I think you could easily combine an Alaska trip with Oregon. I can tell you more about what my Alaska trip if you want. After my last trip I vowed never to budge again, but you never know....

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I will get the Doodle Romp in F's Yard group going tomorrow. Just kidding. Good idea about combining the two. Yes, I would love details.
