Laurie, Fudge, and Vern's Blog – August 2013 Archive (7)

Let me just say, before I begin my story, that I love French Bulldogs, and in particular, my grand dogs, Bonzai and Jazz.  I haven’t seen Bonzai since my daughter’s wedding three years ago and I had never met Jazz.  I swear when we walked into Megan’s apartment Bonzai remembered me. He went ballistic and my daughter said she thought he…

As most of you know by now, I went to Portland, OR, to see my daughter and son-in-law.  A few weeks back I told Megan I would like to let a couple of people from DK know I was coming and all hell broke loose.  Most of my family and friends just don’t get it when I talk about my “friends” on DoodleKisses and all Megan could see was that…

Last week I went to Indiana and Hayley went with me.  I honestly don’t think most people “get” my connection with my DK family.  I tell them all the time if I traveled around the USA, I would probably know somebody in every state, including Hawaii (thanks, Bonnie).  How many people get to say that statement?  Oh, and…

I have been in Indiana this week two timing Fudge and Vern with a dog named Marshmallow.  I was staying at my sister’s house and she was watching her daughter’s dog.  Marshmallow has grown into a wonderful and mellow dog and I know that for a fact because I have known him since he was young.  Mar,…

There is a little bit of freedom living in a town where you don’t know many of the people.  I don’t have to worry about getting all dolled up when I go out to run errands or walk my dogs.   I am definitely not a slob, but have been known to walk my dogs up at the park without putting too much thought into my hair or outfit.…
