Dear Laurie, There Must have Been a Mixup!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Dear Laurie,

Apparently you ordered a gift for me from a place called Harry Barker, which was very nice of you, but I'm sorry to tell you that they sent the wrong thing by mistake!

The box was addressed to me, and there was a card addressed to me, too, but guess what? Inside the box was a terry cloth apron for my mom instead!

 

As you can see, it does look kind of cute on her, and Dog knows she can use something to keep her clothes clean when she eats, so I'd like to let her keep it, if you don't mind. I know that your note said you were sending me something for my spa days, but honestly, I don't need a thing, and they probably wouldn't let me have any toys or snacks there anyway.

It's the thought that counts, Laurie, and it was really nice of you to think of me. Thank you.

Hugs and Doodle Kisses to you,

JD 

 

PS: (They also sent some poop bags in a little holder that is meant to clip onto something, maybe her fake Coach poop bag carrier. I can't think where else you could clip it.)

Oh it was something I did when she was telling us how smart he was...one of her blogs, hard to keep track!

But I like he is getting in touch with his Jewish side, doubt that he will ever become a Lawyer like JD though.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Thanks, Lisa. Laurie, when did Vern's name change from Vernors to Vernstein? Is he getting in touch with his Jewish side?

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

LOL...thank you everyone. I thought it was time JD came over to the dark side. We could have a "Who is the best Vernstein?" costume contest this Halloween.

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Hilarious, and of course you are correct that he would be going as Vernstein.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Janie, all kidding aside, Laurie is exceptionally generous, kind, and thoughtful, and we appreciate her very very much!

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

Too funny!

I was going to say the hair comment too, you can't beat Karen and JD's!! And to think they both have it going with the hair!

Laurie, you are so thoughtful, no matter what they say!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Jane & Allyson, thank you.  The hair is very easy- no color, no "products", no curlers, a wash and blow-dry once a week and gets put up on top of my head in a scrunchy at night- that's it. Much easier than a grandma "do".

Allyson, who can ever figure out how Laurie's brain works? JD is the President of the NDC, and he would rather kiss a shih tzu than wear clothing of any kind. Unfortunately, he doesn't  have a boat or a swimming pool, either. It was intended for the spa, but I think it just might get in the way of the acupuncture needles that get stuck all over him, or the laser wand.

So you can understand our bewilderment as to why she chose this particular gift for him. Then we figured it out:

It's his Halloween costume. He's going as Vern!!!

 

 

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Hahaha, I am cracking up!  WIll JD EVER wear that to his treatments - was that the intended purpose?  He is VP of Naked Doodle Club, right?

I second the comment on your hair....it's like my mom's which is a big compliment. She is going gray and says she will never get the short grandma cut and I hope she doesn't. Going to show her your pic so she sticks with the decision. 

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Karen - this is totally OFF TOPIC but can I just say that I would KILL to have your thick, shiny hair - BEAUTIFUL!!!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Thanks, Jane & Sherri! It's a little tight in the shoulders, but it does have a cute bow in the back!

JD says better on me than on him, LOL!
