The HDA Trophy has Arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Donna K & Quincy]

The Hopeless Doodle Addict Trophy has arrived in Torbay, Newfoundland. After a little mixup at the post office and a sharp rise in Ricki's stress level, the package was delivered into my hands. Quincy's nose immediately went into overdrive and he just knew there was something in there for him. He was nose deep into the package from Ricki and Tara.

We had planned a landmark photo shoot for the trophy but Mother Nature has been less than cooperative, with gale force winds and lots of rain it was time for plan B.
It seemed only fitting that to recieve this prestigious award we should do like the stars do when they receive their awards and get glammed up just a little ( and write our acceptance speech of course). I didn't have time to get my diamonds out of the vault. :>)

Thank you, thank you, we are so honoured to be chosen for the Hopeless Doodle Award. We now join the ranks of all the other HDAs before us and take our place on the Leaderboard of Fame ( that's the equivalent of having your star on Hollywood Boulevard). I  would like to thank Adina(and Clark) for starting this wonderful site, all the wonderful friends I've met here, the groups and their leaders who have taught me so much, the members whose competitive nature and wonderful senses of humour have kept me laughing and thinking. And last but not least I would like to thank my wonderful doodle Quincy, without him none of this would be possible, he is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I'd also like to thank DH for putting up with the time I spend on DK.

We recieved a wonderful package from Ricki, with chocolate, popcorn, a beautiful Oregon mug and Beef Jerky. Quincy is absolutely delighted with the salmon treats, beaver and the monster ball( which is now his favorite toy). Ricki also included some info on Oregon travel and I was pleased to see that Newfoundland and Oregon have a lot in common.

There are now a couple of extra nose prints on the HDA Trophy.

Thank you Ricki and Tara for all the goodies! I will have to pace myself as I am trying to drop a few pounds.

[Donna K & Quincy]

Ty, I''m it's a club I'm delighted to be a part of.

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Woo Hoo another lucky HDA....you look fabulous DARRRRRLINNNNNG, as does your handsome side kick.

It was wonderful of you to include your DH in the your acceptance speech because we all know (wink wink) how much time on DK you actually do spend.

Congratulations!

[Donna K & Quincy]

Thanks Lisa, funny you should say that. When I told DH we had received the trophy his response was "How do you get that, spending the most time on line"?

[Pat and Traveler]

Congrats!!  Quite the glam pose, and Quincy is always so adorable.

[Donna K & Quincy]

Thanks Pat, don't tell anyone that is the only long gown in my closet and is at least 10 years old. LOL

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]

Congratulations Donna!!  Well Deserved!!  I see Ricki hooked Quincy on the Monster Ball...Rosey is on her 2nd and I just ordered a 3rd & 4th as it is an obsession of Rosey's!! 

 

You and Quincy look gorgeous in you photos!!

Okay, I guess from now on I am going to have to add a disclaimer to the box!! "Sender cannot be held liable for any Doodle addictions to any contents of this package!" LOL!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Ricki, Vern is a really tough chewer. Would those balls hold up ? I am always looking for something new and fun for my two.

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

I really doubt that it would hold up to a tough chewer. They are just a soft black squeaky ball covered with stuffie fabric. Maybe Quincy can put it to the test and give us a report!
