I am a DK "Socialite"--should I be offended?

[DJ & Chance]

DK has a ranking/status system. 

 

I started out ranked as “doodle curious” and then was elevated to “doodle admirer.”  Today, I suddenly became a “socialite.”

 

So what is a socialite? After a bit of sleuthing, I discovered that it is the ONLY DK status tier that does not contain the word “doodle.”

 

500   = Doodle Admirer
1000  = Socialite
2000 = Frequent Doodler
3000 = Doodle Fancier 
4000 = Doodle Enthusiast
5000 = Doodle Lover
6000 = Doodle Fanatic
7000 = Doodle Crazy
8000 = Hopeless Doodle Addict!!!

 

 

Since, my ranking/status is indifferent to my affection for doodles in general and my own sweet doodle boy in particular, I checked in with Miriam Webster:

 

“A socialite participates in social activities and spends a significant amount of time entertaining and being entertained at fashionable events attended by others of similar standing.”

 

So where’s the party? If there are ANY other socialites out there, now is the time to stand-up and be counted!  We await our invitation to the DK pup.

 

Miriam Webster takes propriety seriously, and so I looked at bit further to find a somewhat more scurrilous definition of a socialite, bound up with the history of the Social Register, which in the 19^th century listed the names of only the most prominent families.   Within this frame a reference, a “socialite” is a pretender.  S/he aspires to be a part of “true society” but lacks the gravitas bequeathed by birth and heritage. 

 

I asked my pup, Chance, what he thought about all of this, and he suggested that I tell everyone that on his 5-month birthday (today), he raised his leg to pee for the first time. 

 

That boy of mine can be naughty.

 

And I love him to bits!

I was a socialite many moons ago, now I'm an addict...

You will be one to in no time at all LOL

[Pat and Traveler]

You are entertaining--so a nice socialite.  :)  Congrats to Chance!  Trav, who is 3 now, only tried raising his leg once, and almost fell over, poor guy!

[DJ & Chance]

Pat, Chance had to lean against the tree to manage the leg raising trick.  Don't tell him I let his secret out!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Where's the party....Yappy Hour!  We do need to get it going again now that the holidays are over and we all have more time.  Congratulations on moving up to "socialite" and to Chance for becoming a "macho Dood".

[DJ & Chance]

Yappy Hour--yes!

[Elizabeth, Bailey & Bruin]

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Hey Elizabeth congrats!! I just noticed that I just turned Doodle Crazy too! I must admit that when I joined I thought OMD I'll never be an HDA. But time flies when you're laughing, crying, learning, and loving your dood with DK friends!

[Elizabeth, Bailey & Bruin]

Isn't that the truth..I never thought in a million years I would be one of "those people" LOL

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

I became an addict some time ago but nobody wants to send me the trophy : ( I'd accept a virtual one at this stage LOL

[F, Calla & Luca]

My question too.

[DJ & Chance]

No trophy?  There goes my motivation :)

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

You are going to go through Socialite so fast, it won't matter that Doodle isn't in its name!  Congrats on your progress and congrats? to Chance - What a big boy you are.
