Fudge and Vern Have Gone Berserk!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

 

Recently, we went home to Indiana and left our dogs home with our daughter.  Since we have returned home, our dogs have been different. Our first night back we chalked up to excitement.  Both dogs would not settle down for bed and kept wandering in and out of our bedroom. Finally, my husband got up and sat in the living room with them, but he said it was a long time before they fell asleep.

 

Since we no longer shut our dogs in the bedroom with us at night, Vern and Fudge have been free to sleep wherever they want.  Usually, Fudge starts in the bedroom on our bed until my husband comes to bed or she gets too hot. Vern very rarely sleeps in our bedroom. He prefers his crate in the foyer or the cold, hard floor. We have been home since Monday night and for the last three nights, Vern, not Fudge, wants to be up on the bed with me. Every night, he comes around to my side, smiles up at me and puts those bear paws on the bed until I hoist him the rest of the way up. I already know this is absurd; no one has to tell me. Fudge no longer wants to be in the bedroom at all, but now goes straight to the foyer to sleep. Sometimes, she sleeps in the hall right outside our door and she has never done this before.

 

The other thing I have noticed is they both are vying for my husband’s attention more.  If they are on the bed when he walks into the room, they both get up and sit at the very edge of the bed until he pets them.  They cannot get enough of him and moon over him, despite the fact that I have pointed out to both of them that I am in the room too.  Usually, they come running to me, but now they have gone dippy over him. Do I need a new deodorant?

 

Today was the biggest change of all. Vern has started humping Fudge with a vengeance. He has never been a humper before and if he tried, Fudge put him immediately in his place. She just let him today and I had to call him off and make him quit A LOT. He did not seem inclined to stop and Fudge did not seem inclined to stop him. This is very new behavior.

 

WTD happened when we were gone? Did someone spike their water bowl? Are they growing up and sowing their wild oats? Did they both pee into a fountain at the same time and wish to change places with each other or some other dogs? Do I need to call a Priest?  Has this happened to anyone else when they went away for a few days?

The are mad and pouting - you simply could not go on a vacation without them.  Vacation implies that you were going to have fun.  You might have gone on a trip - maybe to a funeral or business workshop etc but NOT a VACATION without them.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Very true, Nancy!

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Laurie - I read this after I saw your response to my question over in the Multiple Doodle group.  Humping - is there a full moon because that is what I was saying - Rooney was humping all over Stuart tonight too!  In their case I know that they are in a struggle for alpha dog though.  Unseemly behavior too being that I have two boys!  LOL

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Jane, I know my DD has trouble with her two male French Bulldogs humping each other. When she first got the second dog, it was happening a lot. Of course, Bonzai humps Fudge too. Poor Fudge...such a lady....LOL! Maybe it is a full moon.

[Susan and Sasha]

DH and I are leaving for a two week cruise today ladies...

Do you think there might be a full moon????  Lol...

 

On the otherhand...I think I'm going to have DK withdrawl...not being able to check in everyday!!

A full moon...AND no DK!!

What's a girl to do??!!  Lol...

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Susan, Have a great time and don't worry for one minute that you will come home to a nutty Sasha humping everything in sight and preferring your DH to you.....NO, just go and have a good time. LOL

No DK for two weeks. I would be in severe withdrawal.

[Susan and Sasha]

Thanks girlfriend...

Now I can go and enjoy...

I'll have a toast or two...or maybe three to you and the boys...and yes...and even to humping!!  Lol...

Of course...I'll be thinking of Everyone and their beautiful Doodles while I'm gone...

At least now you'll know why I'll be MIA for a while...

Enjoy your day...

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thank you and enjoy every minute of that cruise! Vacations seem to go by so quickly!!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Hey, they have internet cafes most places. And the ship may have access too some of the time. Check it out. Have a great cruise, where are you going?

[Susan and Sasha]

Hi F...

Thanks for the info...and for the good wishes...

We're stuck at the airport...after being in Jersey traffic on 24 for 2 1/2 hours!!  Yikes!

Yes...we missed our flight!!

But...no worries...I just told them that I would tell Laurie to send Vern and Fudge over...and they got us on a 10 o'clock flight to London.

We're going on a Baltic Cruise...starting in Dennmark...then to Germany...we'll even get to St. Petersburg Russia...which I've always wanted to visit...then to Sweeden...Finland...and a few other countries!  A glorious two weeks...and several days at sea which will be relaxing!

Oh...a funny thing...when I wanted to bring my computer...DH said...why do you need to bring your computer...Oh I know...to go on that Doodle Thing...right??  Lol...

Does that man of mine know me or what??!!  (smile)

I'll have to treat him Extra Special while we're away...don't you think??

Well...I'm enjoying this special time that I have while waiting for our flight...

Can't wait to catch up when I get back!

[Bonnie and Kona]

Oh NO! Susan, I'm so sorry you missed your flight! I hope the rest of your trip is delightful and smooth as silk! Have lots of fun!

[Susan and Sasha]

Bonnie...

You are So sweet!

We're fine...sitting and enjoying some time before the flight leaves...(smile)

Thank you for your good wishes my friend.

Hope all is well with you and your family...
