DK and what it means to me

[Jennifer and Jack]

I never knew when I stumbled upon this site just how much meaning it would bring into my life. I have been so blessed to have a place to share my crazy insane ideas about Jack, believe me I know they are crazy.....but I always get comfort from the seasoned dog moms who tell me it is okay.

So many friendships have formed, so many close friends. So many I think about on a daily basis .

Who knew when I left home on March 22 I would be stuck in Colorado for so LONG, away from my family and friends, facing by far my biggest health challenges ever.


I have not felt lonely while I have been here. So many people that I am connected to through the Paw Pad and DK have come out of the woodwork.

Jarka and Monty are one of them. I am staying at a hospital at least an hours drive from where Jarka lives. Jarka has come to my hotel a few times with Monty, taking me out to eat and now since being in the hospital she has brought him to me to snuggle.

Monty lights up my whole day. He really likes me. When he sees me at the door he makes a cry to get to me! Today he did that my heart lept and I guess Montys did too. He jumped across the room up to his spot on my bed. He looked like a frog with his hind legs clinching to,the back!

He snuggled with me a very long time. Laying on the bed, letting me pet and love on him, wagging his tail...filling me up,with doodle love.


I finally had to go,to the bathroom, he waited so patiently for me whe. I came back, he was so excited to see me. He kept back up in bed and snuggled.


He is an amazing dog....I am proud to call him my nephew, my Colorado goldendoodle.


Jarka is an outstanding person and now dear friend. She has offered to do anything for me. She brought me good luck,charms, a beautiful sun from her country and on her day off, she sat with. E for a good while and let me talk about anything I wanted.

I don't know how to thank her...to thank all of you, to,thank DK I would be here alone right now...scared and worried. Instead I am distracted with the love of DK


Jarka is going to post some pictures!!!! Dr Monty is amazing, Jarka is a saint for what she did for me....my heart is so full,


I love all,of you!


Thank you Jarka and Monty for putting yourself out there and making my life filled with more joy in a difficult time.

Jennifer, It is a wonderful thing that you had Jarka and Monty to spend some time with you and  you just can't beat doodle medicine.It is so wonderful that Monty is allowed to visit and snuggle with you. I am always amazed at your wonderful positive attitude, your courage and faith.I love that Monty can make you smile in the midst of all you have been through. I hope that you will be home very soon and back with those you love.  I also never imagined when I signed on for DK for the first time that it would become such a big part of my life.

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

This is so wonderful.  Jennifer, you are so positive that you bring out the best in us all!  

[Bonnie and Kona]

This just makes my heart smile. Thank you Jarka and Monty for being available when your DK family needs you! Jennifer, you are brave and faith-filled. Your courage inspires me every day. xoxo

Monty has the cleanest teeth I have ever seen in my life too!!! he was such a sweet loving, kind. Boy....I still feel him as if he is in the room with me!!!!!!

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

And that's just because he had them cleaned a few weeks back. I can't take credit for that since I suck at brushing his teeth.

[Jennifer and Jack]

Oh and Jack and Monty were both born on March 6th! Just one year apart! How cool is that! They share a birthday!

[Bonnie and Kona]

too cute!

Jen, I am so glad that dk is able to keep you connected and that Monty could give you some doodle medicine.  Please feel better soon so you can get home.

Jarka, thank you so much for posting pictures.  Monty is such an awesome dog.

[Colleen, Jake & Baxter]

This just makes me cry...happy tears for you Jennifer and for me and I know I am not the only one.  Monty you make all of us proud to be a part of the doodle family - you do good work and I can only hope and pray that my own well-behaved loveable but imperfect doodle would step up to the plate as well as Monty has!!!  You rock Monty!!!

[Maryann,Roo and Tigger]

Jarka, Jennifer, Jack and Monty - You made me smile all over, especially my heart.  Jennifer, it is awesome to see you well enough to sit up in bed and smile.  Thanks.

If everyone in the world were only half as kind, thoughtful, positive, and full of faith as you two women, most of the world's problems would be minor.

THANKS for being you

[Camilla and Darwin]

Yay for DK. And Jarka and Monty, you are the best!

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

So wonderful that you are on DK and that Jarka and Monty were able to visit when you really needed some Doodle love.   Kudos and love to Jarka and Dr Monty and to you too Jennifer.
