I'm an Addict!

[Discussing Labradoodles & Goldendoodles]

Holy Cow! My status changed overnight to confirming me a legitimate "Addict"!

Who knew when I joined this crazy group how close I would become to all of you, and how much I had in store to learn! Thank you DK for being there for me through thick and thin with Hattie (aka, Energizer Bunny, terror, brat and love of my life)! You were all there for the trip planning when I took five planes in one day to bring her home, the crate training that I failed at, (but it was okay because I wanted her to sleep with me anyway), the incontinence from early spay, and the worry after she started on the medication Proin to control it, the food guarding issues that I spent hours correcting and still work on with bones and special treats, the training classes that she excelled at to the point she became bored and thought they were silly, and the hundreds of pictures you've all endured of my baby girl.

In fact without all of you and your wisdom and advice I know for a fact Hattie would not be as well adjusted and behaved as she is today at 16 months. I also would not have learned about therapy work, and Hattie would not have been destined to lead a life of helping others. She has changed my single existence on so many levels and in so many ways I can't put it all into words. But all of you, above anyone else I know, understand the depth of love I have for her and her importance in my life.

Thank you DK friends! WOO-HOO!!! I'm an Addict!

Congratulations Sandy and adorable Hattie!  Beautifully put about how these sweet sweet dogs change our lives. I'm still just a distant "Admirer" but I've been so inspired by all of you!  Your many talents...and your doodles! Wow! Hugs to Hattie and you!
