Road Trips & Computer Virus = MIA

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

You know you've been off of DK for a while when you start getting emails from people asking "where are you", "are you and the doods O.K.".  It gives me comfort to know that some of you realized we had gone MIA - and might have notified the authorities so that I was not left here molding on the floor - lol.  I've missed SO much on here - all the funny blogs, posts, pics and videos.  I totally missed the whole Snap contest this time around - not that I'm funny but I always try to give it a go.  So if I missed your B-day, a class graduation, new puppy - sorry.  Trust me - not being able to get on DK is like wearing spanx under a party dress - very uncomfortable.  The doods and I had a wonderful road trip to Atlanta to help dd get moved but sadly her internet was not hooked up yet so I was stranded without my DK fix.  I find it difficult to use my phone to see the site so I was logging on at the local Starbucks which cost me $156.00.  I will admit I was trying to see the calendars but $156.00 is a pricey cup of joe you say.  Well the $156. was to rid my computer of a nasty virus that I am convinced came of me using the internet at Starbucks so yes - the coffee and internet connection was not cheap!  The virus didn't kick in till I was back home and trying to catch up here when WHAM - my computer went bonkers, then it tried to get me to "buy" the fix which is when they clean out your bank account.  Thank goodness I didn't fall for that and got my computer right in to the shop.  3 days later I have 234 emails - most from DK to sort through.  In the meantime Stuart graduated from his "Good Manners" Class and this coming Wednesday evening Rooney will take his CGC test.  I'm nervous but I have no doubt that Rooney will ace it - he is the only doodle in the class and is the dog that is always selected to show the others how things are to be done.  So here are a few pics of Rooney, Stuart and their cousin Cal having a blast in Atlanta.  One of the really neat things was that Rooney - the water hater - got so carried away with the big dogs swimming that he jumped right in and was swimming too, about 20 ft off shore before he realized what he had done - and then got back out.  Too bad I didn't catch it on film but I was laughing and so shocked that I didn't snap it.

Glad you're back, Jane, and Congratulations to Stuart! It looks like you have all been having a good time despite the computer gremlins!

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Jane, welcome back. I feel your pain!  I have been extremely busy lately and haven't been about to log on nearly as much and I also have missed some things.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Jane, I missed you. I just didn't send an email :)  Glad you were not wrestling with an alligator somewhere or out shooting tin cans for target practice. A road trip sounds exciting, but not the no internet part. Glad you are back and everything is getting back to normal.

How can you say your are not funny. That spanks joke was a gem.

Glad you are back and that all is good!

[Colleen, Jake & Baxter]

Glad you are back too!  It is funny when you see your "scardy cat" water phobia doodle join the action as that has happened with my Jake!

[BG and Gavin]

Glad you enjoyed your trip (except for the virus thing) and that the boys have done so well in class.  I was thinking that you have been MIA for a bit.  I was also wondering about Jennifer and Jack who seem to me MIA too.

Other than missing DK it looks like you and the doods had a nice trip! Hope things are back to normal now! Well, without the gator part...:)

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

So glad you're back!  I knew you were on your road trip, but I couldn't see how that alone would keep you away from DK.  Glad you didn't fall for the virus - you may have had to hock your gun and maybe a few doodle accessories to get enough $$$.

Viruses are nasty indeed, computer or otherwise. Good luck on the CGC test.
