The HDA Trophy has arrived in NE OHIO

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

The HDA trophy arrived in Streetsboro, this past Tuesday, it came all the way from Newfoundland Canada from Donna and Quincy.

I was able to get Daisy sufficiently excited by leaving the package on the floor for a day before opening it...she walked by it several times taking deep sniffs to see if she could figure out what was inside, of course she was not the only one getting excited. Originally I planned on having DH help with the unveiling but he was so late coming home I decided to take on the task of a photo shoot and opening all by myself. Big Mistake. Daisy was too excited by this point and I ended up with less then acceptable shots. Lots of blur and not enough speed from Mom. So I have created a collage of photos so you can get the gist of it all,

Donna sent such wonderful things...candy (love the peppermints), a chocolate and blueberry sucker appropriately shaped into a daisy, peanut butter candy, candy bar, rum flavored coffee and  a beautiful pair of hand knitted mitten/gloves, perfect for playing in the backyard to throw Daisy's new Kong toy, or her silly faced chuck it ball.  We also received a stuffed Newfie and Puffie Penguin, I think those two things were meant for me but Daisy had another idea when she snatched each one and took them to her dog bed. I have since rescued them both and they have survived.  She loves the special chicky bones and Z Fillets. We also received adorable doggy hair bows, didn't know there was such a thing....she looks so cute in them, don't you all agree. We also received a lovely "I love my dog" Christmas tree ornament and several pamphlets on what to do and see when DH, Daisy and I land in Newfoundland hopefully in the near future. Donna, I will let you know when we will be there so you can slip the key under the mat in case your not home :o)

I have been a member of Doodle Kisses for just over a year. I enjoy every minute I spend here and have made so many wonderful friends. I have learned so much about how to care for our beautiful girl, I have also learned that, for the most part, I am amongst fellow doodle owners that all are addicted to there doodles. Thank you Adina for creating such a wonderful place for all of us to congregate and enjoy.

Congratulations! Love the hair bows!

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

I have to say the hair bows are great, they are actually clips, it's amazing.

congradulations!!!

[Donna K & Quincy]

Congratulations Lisa and Daisy, enjoy the goodies. Quincy wants Daisy to know he personally helped shop for some of those things and that he is not to blame for the bows but thinks that she looks quite lovely. Did you get a chance to read through the journal yet, that was one of my favorite things about receiving the trophy.

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

I have started to read the journal, I started from your post and went backwards, I just love it!

Daisy doesn't mind the bows at all (can't say the same for DH ha ha). She has worn them 2 times this week already.

Tell Quincy Daisy loves all his choices, we took the Kong toy to the park today, she was a bit confused at first but got the hang of it after she realized there would be no ball. She played with the silly faced chuck it at home.

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

By the way Donna are you the knitter of the gloves? I just love them, had a chance to wear them on Thursday here, it got pretty darn cold at the park.

[Donna K & Quincy]

No I didn't knit the gloves a friend of mine did, I've knit lots of sweaters but no gloves. BTW The key is there anytime you want it.
