Why Fudge and Vern Will Not Be Going on the Doodle Cruise!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

There is a lot of talk about the upcoming Doodle Cruise in October, 2012, that Jane (Rooney &Stuart) is organizing.

People are also asking if their doodles are invited and unfortunately, the cruise is only for humans. Even if doodles were invited, Fudge and Vern would not be going and here are some reasons why:

 

First of all, what do dogs even bring on a cruise. Vern eats a lot and I would have to bring a huge amount of food. What if we are out to sea and we run out of dog food? I over pack with just my stuff. How would I fit all that food into my suitcase?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fudge is not a great swimmer and needs a life jacket most of the time. What if they don't have her size on the boat for the ship's pool? If my suitcase is full of my stuff and Vern's food, how am I going to get a life jacket in there too?

Another big worry....what would happen if they went overboard because they saw a fish in the water and decided to try and catch it.

I think this captain would turn the boat around and pick them up in the water:

But, does this guy look like he would:

I cannot even imagine what Vern would do if he saw this big guy in the water:

Or this on deck: (Remember he is afraid of Lawn Chairs)

It would be fun, though, if they could do this in the water:

 

We have a real problem keeping their water dishes full at night. I am afraid they might resort to this on the cruise:

Also, Fudge and Vern like to party. My husband and I go to bed early and they could sneak out and get in a lot of trouble. We have all heard of shipboard romances and Fudge does like the bad boys. What if this is what she is doing, while we are sleeping:

Don't get me started on Vern. He can be a follower and if he gets mixed up with the wrong crowd  our trip could be ruined:

Finally, we have all heard about pirates on the open seas and I bet Labradoodles could be a hot commodity on the Black Market. I cannot have anything happen to my Doodles by a group of these guys:

So, all things considered, my two doods are staying home where they are safe and sound.

That has got to be the funniest thing I've seen in a while.  What a laugh!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thanks, Lynne.

[Leslie and Halas]

In Vern's defense, those chairs do look a little intimidating. He might have a hard time getting out of the chair after a few drinks. Fruity, umbrella drinks, of course.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I think after a few drinks those chairs might start looking pretty good to Vern!!

[Jane Smith]

I just love your creativity!  Made me laugh out loud.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thanks, Jane.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thanks, Mimi!

Yeah, but can you convince Johnnie Depp to come??  If we can't have our doodles, I bet he would consider it bc he would feel SO SORRY for a bunch of ODC doodle owners, dontcha think?

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I would love to see Johnny Depp on our cruise...but I would like him to wash and cut his hair. He needs to join the Grooming Group :)

Ha.
