Ahoy Fudge & Vern

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Dear Fudge & Vern, this is Rooney and boy do I have a bone to pick with you.  I have come to believe that your mom is a very bad influence on my mom.  It was bad enough that those two are taking a cruise while leaving us doods home - carousing about, having adventures and probably some frozen cocktails, but then your parents had to go get you a boat, and trust me - even though I HATE water, I was happy for you guys, cute pictures, happy blogs, yadda yadda.  Well now my parents are getting a boat and I am blaming it on your mom!  That's right - my mom & dad jumped on the boat bandwagon without even taking into serious consideration MY feelings because I would have voted NO.  My younger, much larger - water LOVING (and less intelligent) brother is all excited!  So my parents have been very distracted this past week, taking us to daycare while they are running all over two states to find the perfect boat - it is coming this Friday and my mom the safety nut has already gotten us the dreaded doggy life vests.  I'm not going to get on that boat willingly and there is no way I'm getting into any water - I'm a dood whose hair doesn't do well when wet.  I heard my mom saying that she was going to be asking your mom some doggie boating advise - apparently she doesn't want nail scratches on the upholstery or us Stuart leaping out of the boat while underway (this might be my chance to give big 'ol Stuart a little nudge).  Can I ask - is there anything else your parents are about to do?  Skydiving, motorcycles with you guys in the side cars because I'm about to start chewing on my mom's computer if there is.

You never know, Rooney. You may end up loving the water.  Stuart's going to shake water all over you anyway, so you may as well just swim.  If you do decide you like it, remember to always ask for permission before going for a swim.  My mom is still talking about my unauthorized swim earlier this summer.  First she encourages me to swim, and then when I swim, she starts calling me back to shore.  You know what?  I've just changed my mind.  Don't ask for permission.  What's that saying?  It's better to seek forgiveness than ask permission.  You can always say Stuart tricked you into it.

Jane, I can't wait to see some pictures of your two on their new boat :) I bet Rooney will come around and Stuart will get used to the life vest.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Lisa, You need to get back to work and stop commenting....LOL!!

Doris, Knox looks adorable. Now, if he just had a robe :)

JD, You need to come for a visit. I will have you looking dapper in no time :) LOL

BG, Love Gavin in his life vest!!  I have never seen a jacket like that one. Does it go around their neck in any way??

[BG and Gavin]

Don't worry Rooney, you will get used to the life jacket and LOVE boating life!

See?

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Hey Rooney, Jackdoodle here. You are right, Fudge & Vern's mom is a very bad influence on the other doodle moms. I am sure it was all her fault that you and Stuart had to wear those red sweaters last winter, the way she is always posting pictures of poor F & V being humiliated in those silly costumes! I would not be happy about a boat either, (I hate getting wet) but thankfully my mom dislikes them as much as I do. Her hair doesn't do well when wet either, hehehe.

Now that you know that your mom is worried about you scratching the upholstery on the boat, you know what to do.  

Your friend,

JD
